A dream come true for many boys. Women can't relate to that so they find it disgusting and creepy.

I don't know how well women would relate or not.

Plenty of teenage girls sleep with their teachers.

Lol, maybe because it is? And this would mean the female teacher (a woman) should know better.

It's creepy that someone would exploit a power imbalance to sleep with their 12-year-old student.

No, the 12 year old loved it.

I wonder if it was a 30 year old man with 12 year old girl, would people still defend it like this?

I guess boys and girls are just different.

Most people have heard of William Shakespeare's work "Romeo and Juliet".

However, most people dont know that Juliet was 14 while Romeo was considered much older.

They end up killing themselves because their families dont approve of their love.

Clearly not, since people voted to make age of consent laws specifically for girls. Courts ruled it had to go both ways.

16 isn't much older than 14.

Yes. They believe that girls and boys are same.

The actual age of Romeo is never mentioned in the work. The age of Juliet is described as "she just turned 14".

But judging by Romeo's actions, I realized he is probably much older than 14.

That's funny. I have a friend that is looking for being hired in the college as a professor only to try to sleep with a chick. He's hovering around 50.

I'd say he's a pervert but to be honest this idea was also on my mind long time ago. Lol.

They got married the day after they first met, not a lot of families then or now would approve of a couple of teenagers getting married after less than 24 hours.

Do gooders think that they are socially righteous.

Whereas hormones are a fact of life.

The biggest issue was that families didnt get along, so they didnt want to ever approve of such relationship. I dont really hold a view that family should meddle in who marries who. Otherwise, might as well go back to arranged marriages. Besides, at the time the work was written, 14 was considered adult.

Families shouldn't meddle but they do, they always have and they always will...opinions are like assholes, everybody has one.

What was your point in saying "Juliet was 14 while Romeo was considered much older.", are you saying you have an opinion about that?

In the Shakespear's original story Romeo is 16 and Juliet's age is described as "not yet 14", she is still 13.

Most parents want to be grandparents someday, so that's why they want to make sure their children do not end up like Juliet.

Families, society... everyone seems to be so obsessed with preventing young people from having sex.

I already said it. The society meddling into their relationship is what caused the bad outcome of a relationship. Thats the whole point. If their society didnt meddle, the relationship would have a much better outcome.

Shakespeare didnt mention the age of Romeo, and I fail to believe he is 16. I mean, he engages in fights, duels to the death, but also seeks to avoid fights... maybe 16 year olds behaved differently back then, I dont know. By behavior, I would figure he is at least 20.

As somebody with a son. I will tell you, this is rape. If a grown woman touched my son, I would do the same thing I would do to a grown man.

It's fucking sick. That woman is a predator. I have been 16 and have had older women attempt to seduce me. I may be disturbed by that with my son, but I wouldn't necessarily think the law needs to get involved but a 12 year old is a child and this woman is every bit as sick and twisted as any male predator
