Question: What are the laws regarding minors and sexual consent?
Answer: In Arizona, a person under the age of 18 cannot consent to engage in sexual conduct. Other states have similar laws. You can find out about laws in your state by visiting your state government web page and using key words such as codes, statutes, legislation, etc.

Hi i am 16 and my boyfriend is 19 i love him so much and sometimes i feel like he's the only one who actually cares for me. when i am at home every one tries sooo hard to see me cry and when they do the biggest grin appears on their face. i mean i am a good girl i have awesome grades. why cant the one who loves me be allowed to be with me without all the excess drama.

well.....i have not been in a relationship whereas the boy is way older than me, however, i have been recently in one and i thought it was all together. he moved and we were totally far away from eachother. i thought we were meant to be but we weren't. it's hard trying to be with someone that is far away. being so young, i try to consider using lust instead of love...

OK I'M 15 AND IM WITH A 19 Y.O. AND I DONT SEE WHATS THE BIG PROBLEM EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY HASNT SAID ANYTHING NEGATIVE TOWARDS THE FACT OF THE AGE DIFFERENCE EXCEPT MY OLDER BROTHER BUT OF COURSE HE'LL SAY SOMETHING. ON THE OTHER HAND MY MOM GETS ALONG WITH HIM PERFECTLY NEVER SAYS A BAD COMMENT ABOUT HIM. WELL TO ME IM IN LOVE AND TO ME THIS SITUATION IS KIND OF LIKE PROP 8 THEY CANT BE HAPPY BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE ARE AGAINST IT. IT IS UNFAIR I SEEM LIKE A MINOR IN OTHER PEOPLEDS EYES BUT IVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH AND HE MAKES ME HAPPY AND NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME
