Ken, I see both sides, that you are talking about. I wouldn't want a little girl being with an older man, because he may just be using her. But if they're in love, and it's still illegal, it kind of stinks.

Actually, I see the reason behind the law. It is actually to prevent any prevert guy from harming the little girls. Unfortunately, Law sometimes prevent guys who are really loving their girls. Therefore, I am speechless. Coz I'm one of those guys... and believe me~ Its tuff...

"my boyfriend is 23 and im 16 and as long as he isnt hurting me in any way there is no problem" Wrong. However, it's mentalities like this that help 20something year olds land teenage girls. And CeeCee... technically, yes you can. However, depending on his state of residence, the age of consent may be different. However, the best thing to do is to be with him, but not be "with" him.
