8. This could be an interesting discussion

Is a natural desire something that should be shunned by society - say a 13yr old boy is attracted to someone his own age (male or female) in a sexual manner. Is such a thing creepy? If not, what physical mechanism causes them to no longer find someone attractive of that age when they reach a different age?

There must be some sort of scientific reason that we think someone is broken when something they felt at one age continues on at another age (their body has changed in size, etc, but obviously their mind has failed to develop).

I have seen many females do similar things with young male singers (the bierber who was discovered at 14 yrs old, one direction, etc and so on) - screaming fans, lusting after someone who they should not. We had males in high school in Twilight that set off a slew of desire.

So are all those people creepy and sexualizing a child? Was it ok when the biebs was 14, or 15, or what age?

The question seems like a valid one that could be asked on a sociological/psychological level and discussed (without a bunch of emotion clouding it).

Here is a decent discussion on the topic:
