Your Opinion: If a male student under age 18 has consensual sex with a female school teacher, is he the "Victim" of a crime?

I met this guy last year. He's 21 and I'm 15. We've been going out.. He's my sister's fiance's best friend so we met through them.. We're like best friends, we talk about our problems with each other and have many things in common. I am concious that I'm a very mature person and I have a very strong liking towards him, and I know its mutual. We have not had sex. Should we continue dating?

im 15 yrs old, my bf is 33. i liared to him i told him im 17, i've know him since 2 years. but we've been together for 4months and we having sex.i love him.yes i know he could've been my dad. my mum was 16 when she was with my dad and my father is 14 yrs older then my mother. i know and i take risk that he could be in trouble, but if my parents relationship worked out and they are together for 25 yrs now, why wont mine?
im too scared to tell my parents or my sisters about him im scared they will hate me, but in the other hand i dont want to lie to them anymore i just wanna tell them and intoduce him to my family. Im not sure what to do, as i waanted to leave him but its so hard, maybe im just stupid i should try forgeting about him, or maybe its will work out like my parents relationship. and even hes suprise how im with him and he knows i can have some one younger but i really dont want no one else at the moment.
i really love him i do understand the word love.

When your young sex is a very confusing thing but if you think that you are mature enough and responsible to do it then, why not?

Just don't forget the condom :)

I agree. I am 13 and currently dating at 18 year old. His friends have major issues with the whole age thing as so does his parents. I honestly don't get it. I love this kid, and he love me too and everyone's agenst us. I spent last night at his house and we cuddled till i fell asleep. Yeah.. cause hes totally a sex offender!

You should have had a choice for "It depends on the age difference". (I checked "I'm not sure", since that's the closest I could get.) A 15 year old student and a 35 year old teacher is a lot different than a 17 year old student and a 25 year old teacher.

Relationships where the power dynamic is very imbalanced are unhealthy. But that often isn't the case when the teacher is not far out of college, and the student is almost ready for college. In that situation, they are likely to both view each other as equals, with similar lifestyles and level of maturity.

Also, the question should have been phrased as "..should he be considered the victim of a crime", rather that "... is he the victim of a crime", because taken literally the question is just asking what the law IS, while I think your intent is to survey attitudes about what the law SHOULD be.

I'm a 19 year old female. I've been with some guy who is 16 years old. He wants to move out & be with me, but I don't want to because our age difference. His parents have tried to threaten me already many times but I can care less. I live in California so im pretty sure it is against the law to be with a minor, right? BUT if he runs away & I go wit him, is there any chance I could get into trouble or something?

why does age matter? I mean u cant help who u fall in love with And everyone flips out so much about it Honestly it shouldnt matter at all age is just a number plus its just how long u lived some people that are actually young dont even act there age at all they act alot more mature but i mean if u didnt want to do things with the person or u they made you then it matters and should be called rape but everyone makes there own discions they know wat there doing if there with someone under age or over age because its there own actions so it just shouldnt matterr...

Okay my best friends ex boyfriend is 15 and told her he was 16 when she had meet him and by the way my friend is 18 they had sex and his mother found out and said she wouldnt press charges but the thing is now his mother has a disorder and is mentally crazy and he lives with a foster mother could she still press charges even tho shes mentally not here and he lives with his foster mother? Also, if so can she use for defense the fact that both his foster mother and his mother had sex at the age of 11 and 15? Even tho my best friend was a virgin when she lost it to him? And also for defense can she use that he already had sex with 4 girls before here?

I'm 27 from Australia and recently met a 16 year old young man on facebook from the US. He added me after seeing my post on a fanpage for an artist we both love. He actually advertised his age to be about four years older than his actual age. He initiated conversation with me and I was at first wary when he told me his actual birth date, but as I got to know him I realised how wise beyond his years he was. He fell for me and I for him. We even spoke on the phone a few times. It was lovely and I actually felt like a teenager again falling in love for the first time. We continued to exchange emails and one day I got a message from his email saying 'i've called the police. please do not contact this number again'. He told me his mother would kill me if she found out we were speaking and it was obvious to me at that point who sent the message. I instantly felt so ashamed and for weeks i've been beating myself up about it. Now i come across this forum and read peoples messages with similar types of experiences.. Exactly how do you put an age limit on love? I'd personally say no older than 15. In my case I feel this young man fell just into my age limit. If he were any younger I would definitely not have felt comfortable continuing our online romance (which was all very innocent mind you!) In my country the legal age is 16, so it is not so frowned upon. The eleven year age difference might seem extreme but. But as you age the gap seems to get smaller I guess. I am hoping to reunite contact with him in a few years. I am too scared to initiate any contact at this stage. The whole affair has left me with quite an empty feeling. I really miss hearing from him.
