4. You're right, of course, but that's not how it works today.

I remember my old high school days, back in the early 1960s. There were always older guys, typically in their 20s, who preyed on high school girls. I remember some of them. Generally they were people who weren't making it out there as adults very well, but could convince younger girls that they were cool, experienced, or whatever. Often, though, they were just creepy.

Both of my wives have been younger than me. But not very much, and I met them both as an adult when they were also adults. In my teen years, I dated girls my own age, as well as girls a couple of years younger. But, as an adult, I stuck to other adults, not kids. Kids should date other kids, and if they fool around with sex, as they will do, it's a couple of youngsters trying to learn.

Adults need to leave teenagers alone and let them grow up in their own time.
