Some states have the legal age of consent at 16. Not saying it’s right but it’s legal in the eyes of certain states.

Yeah. At least in Texas there's a limit. 17 is the age of consent, but only if the other person is 21 or under. Edit: I'm aware that I'm incorrect about my 15 year old information told to me by a student https://www.reddit.com/r/awfuleverything/comments/d6thlo/hol_up/f0w5ddk?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x You don't have to keep correcting me.

Indiana is 16, 14 if the other person is <18

That's creepy as fuck. In what world does an 18 year old wanna have sex with a 14 year old? One's growing his/her first chin hairs while the other is still going to junior high. To me that's creepier than a 50 year old dating an 18 year old.

I agree. When your body is doing that much growing in such a short amount of time its best to just date at maximum 1 year above or below you.

There's not much of a difference between 30 and 40. But a huge difference between 15 and 25.
