I had to explain to a 16 year old girl yesterday why 21+ year old men target minors to have dating/sexual relationships with. and why she shouldn’t think it’s normal, healthy behavior.
she threw the phrases “age ain’t nothing but a number” and “love is love” out to me, and I had to deconstruct and redefine both those phrases to her so she better understands what they really mean.
with that being said, let’s be mindful of what we say to the youth because as “mature for their age” as they seem, they still don’t possess the full cognitive capability to assess everything they take in.
