Hold up. So allowing a 13 year old girl to date a 17 year old boy to date is going to keep them from having sex? [/quote]

Maybe. My parents allowed me to date a 24-year-old when I was 17, and we didn't have sex. Or maybe allowing a 13-year-old girl to date boys closer to her own age would have stopped her from dating, not to mention having sex with, a 17-year-old boy.

Do you remember being a teenager? For many teenagers, nothing is more enticing than something your parents forbid you to do because they say you're too young.[/quote]

PP, maybe that worked out for you, but it's not a common experience. Who knows? Maybe you dated that one 24 year old man who was not looking for sex when dating, but if I had a teenage daughter, I'd want to know who she's dating his (or her) age and what they are doing. That would go for my son as well. An odd age difference is a warning sign.[/quote]

I'm the PP you're responding to, and yes, absolutely it's a warning sign. The situation in the OP is a bad situation. But it sounds to me like maybe it's a bad situation rooted in too much parental forbidding already, in which case more parental forbidding alone won't improve the situation.[/quote]
