On 08/07/07 Shanic from NC said: I am 14 and I'm pregnant by my boyfriend and he just recently turned 18. But when I got Pregnant he was 17 so I'm not sure whether he will be charge with statutory rape or not. We are still together and I love him very much. North carolina law states that there must be 5 year difference between the minor and the adult for it to be called Statutory Rape.

On 07/03/06 unknown from AL said: cyrstal from FL said that at age 16 or 17 it is 99% sure that you dont meet the one you will be with the rest of your life that is wrong, my mom was 15 when she said she knew my dad was the one and she is still with him and she got pregnant before she was married and my dad was there for her and i am not saying that it is always like my parents and i know things can go wrong but sometimes it wont maby if you thing the person you are with could be the one and you dont want to wait then ask your mom or sister about it or some one you know you can trust i am sure they would be happy to help
On 06/10/06 stacey from FL said: Im totally against an age limit on sex.Its unfair that if the person your're having sex with is older that he or she should be sent to jail if having sex was consensual. Its better for kids our age to wait until they're older b/c we think we're in love one day and find out we're not the next. Besides, what does it hurt to wait?
