Really? Well I do. Even if a 16 year old is the age of consent, in most cases (I can't say all because there could always be exceptions, and there are plenty of very immature 29 year olds) a 29 year old would be far more emotionally mature and equipped to handle a relationship, the age difference, and everything else. I can't imagine any parent, even the most permissive of parents, being ok with their 16 year old having a relationship with a 52 year old. Some might even have some qualms about the 29 year old, but of course they would have no say in it. Even if 16 is the age of consent, most parents would still believe they have a say in that. And wouldn't want their 16 year old even IM ing with a 52 year old in that way, let alone one in that position of authority and in such a sexually graphic way.
I guess I'm just terribly old fashioned in thinking that, and in thinking that in all ways that matter a 16 year old is still a child. Even though so many cultural aspects attempt to tell us otherwise.
I wonder if any parent here would be ok with that, show of hands?
