how me a frog posted:Parents being insanely worried about idiotic poo poo isn't exactly a new trend either. What about the dad's concern is idiotic? If that kid as an 18 year old high schooler has intercourse with someone 17 or under, he gets hit with fines and jail time and is legally treated as an adult. If the kid is 17 and his partner is 17, nothing happens. Usually this isn't something parents can worry about unless their kids have one of those weird birthdays.

He might date a 21 year old. Seems like a lot of fuss and worry over this exact "My son is 18 for his entire senior year and dates a 17 year old and the cops find out and his life is ruined" situation happening.

He should go to school with his friends regardless. The number of people who sit back and reflect on their lives and think "man, I wish I had another year before kindergarten, I was *not* ready" is approximately 0.

Maybe I've seen too many of these situations play out in courtrooms. It's also a heck of a lot more likely that a high schooler will date a high schooler in high school.

I appreciate those people who took the time out of their day to tell me the ways in which I was wrong. I am trying to view things through a neutral lens, rather than a defensive one. I took a walk with my dog and I feel a lot better. However, I really think that you as a community need to think about the culture you breed, here, because I've gotten at least one private message telling me that they hope I die today. I have also received at least one really positive, kind message.

I am against circumsition (i call it mgmt, male genial mutilation tyranny) but if we don't circumsize our bisexual son when we end up adopting him the cheerleaders wont want to give him blowjobs after he scored a home run in the big football game. This is something I think about a lot, like also what to nane him that doesnt sound gay but not so not gay to be ungay. Ask me abour my sexless open relationship.

I dunno, I had some friends in school who had skipped grades/entered kindergarten early and ended up obviously emotionally younger than their classmates. That's an issue of "is my kid's emotional development at par with their intellectual development?", though, not "will my kid be branded a sex offender?"

Well no, but it does potentially lead to different outcomes, i.e. being super young for your grade means you're developmentally behind so are unlikely to get a fair shot at competitive sports, might not be able to pick things up as quickly as your classmates, may not be on the same level of emotional maturity, may have a rough time due to hitting puberty later than your peers, etc. Those are definitely things worth thinking about, how likely your kid is to face potential legal issues for wanting to bone down in 14 years much less so.

/r/relationships has a stupidly hardline stance on locking or deleting posts because they're scared of absurdly dumb posts like that getting brigaded by /r/drama and other subreddits that exist to make fun of people... But it's really bad if morons were sending her death threats, so I support killing the post.

Also I think the guy should just date his second cousin - I don't think anybody actually explicitly values genetic diversity in their partner and that's pretty distant kin. My evidence here is that almost no one gets pre-marriage genetic screenings which means they must not actually care at all. It'd be way different if they were super-close growing up as family but it doesn't sound like that.

One of our friends kept buying us sex toys as wedding gifts and was all coy about whether she was actually the one who sent them, so I had to call Amazon's customer service all like "can you tell me who sent us the vibrator, buttplug, and bed restraints"
