I've been dating this girl since I was 16. When I was 16 she was 12, and her parents didn't have a problem with it. Now that im 18 and she's 14 they see a problem with it. And I'm just curious as to what laws I'm breaking. I've heard many different things, from many different people. I'm not sure who to believe. Please Help.
