Thanks - the one thing that drives me nuts on this board is the tendency of people on here to treat 14 and 15 year olds like they're children - which they are not. They're inexperienced and don't have the maturity of judgment of adults. Because of that, they are subject to adult manipulation, which is why we should afford certain legal protection to them.

At the same time, ignoring the fact that their bodies are telling them certain things (and causing them in their immaturity to act on it from time to time) is a mindless pursuit, and what's even worse is deeming them slutty because of it.

People are people, with different hormones, drives, likes and dislikes, and scowling at a 14 year old who acts on it is ineffective.
