I've been reading through the messages because I recently became involved with a twenty-three year old guy, and I'm seventeen. I just wanted to voice my shock, first, at the lack of morality and maturity of most of the teenagers who've reviewed on this board. Why are you all so pumped to have sex at this very moment?

I personally agree that at the age of fifteen I am in no way ready to have with anyone, wether I am in love with that person or not.

You do not all of the sudden develope the ability to love someone after you become an adult. That ability is always there, and when someone of my age acts responsibly, safely, and reasonbly I feel that there is nothing wrong with dating something who is 18 years old.
