You are allowed to date anyone of whatever age your parents allow you to date. There are no laws addressing who may date. There are laws addressing who may have sex.

Do any of these kids read the thousands of threads we have on this subject!?

[cbg]

Either they don't read, or for some reason they think that the answers don't apply to them. After all, they're in love.

What he is saying is that we have answered this question over and over and over, but instead of reading the hundreds of threads where this question has already been answered, each of you insists on asking it yet again, as if for some reason the law will be different when YOU ask it.

At 16, you have no 'right' to have sex. That's part of the whole " you're still a child" thing.

It wouldn't be YOU that would have to worry about criminal consequences at this point in your life.

Girls- Just wait until she gets laid and pops out a kid. She'll realize how little she really knew.

We know where her BF will be. Gone gone gone.


Boys- Just wait until you get a girl preggy. Dude, you think that being without a date on a weekend is hell? LOL! You have no idea!

i don't mean to ask the same questions over and over but everything i study and every thing i read all have loads of things i have yet to understand. i was hoping for a blunt "at 16 you by law are aloud to have sex with up to idk 3 years consent" or "by law have sex at all can put you in juvenile facility (i think that is what it is call??) or the other person in jail. yes i am young but if i knew everything i wouldn't be asking questions. i really wasn't looking for well sure if you wanna get pregnant because i more then understand that one. but i do have many friends who don't know the law so they ask question and well i can't always say i know the the answer. so i try and seek it out. if i upset somebody i apologize for i am only trying to ask questions.

[SKI16]

why do you want to have sex at such a young age with a potenial partner who may or may not be older than you? Listen to cactus jack...he said it all.

Bluntly...

You are under the direct and explicit control of your legal parents or guardians.

There is no law in any jurisdiction that you can wave under your parents' collective noses that will say, "See, I can date whomever I want and you can't stop me."

To guess your next question, you may make your own decisions upon reaching the age of 18...when, by the way, your pedophiliac boyfriend will have dumped you for someone younger.
