my friend told me that she and her boyfriend have been nasty texting, she’s 15 and he’s 17, and I got so uncomfortable because it’s really wrong, and illegal, but I’m afraid what if I gave the wrong advice and people don’t actually care? I mean kids actually go to court for this
what's the age of consent for yall? And texting nasty isn't illegal, only on certain circumstances. I get how that can be a bother though
@inorooi Like they were being actually gross to each other and that is illegal, at least where we live
@King silly If it's actually illegal then yes, advise them against speaking how they are. They may not care though, teenagers with drives are like that, I should know lol. And if they've gotten physical then also heavily advise them against doing anything again and keeping it semi-child friendly
@inorooi @Brian__ Replying to this, because I am dating a 15 year old now when I’m 17, and we have been making weird sus jokes, and I actually feel gross and terrible, I thought it was fine because me and him are a year and 5 months apart, but now I truly feel like a bad person, remembering this post I made, I feel like I should’ve known better but I had a completely different mindset that it was fine because it wasn’t two years
@King silly I'm 16 dating an 18 year old. We started talking when we were 15/17. I will be 17 and he will be 19 at the beginning of this year. If the jokes bother you then tone it down, making sex jokes isn't for everyone and there's nothing to be ashamed about. 2 years is nothing to be embarrassed of, you're both still in similar stages of life (despite men typically developing fully at a slower rate). You aren't a bad person. Dating a couple of years below or over doesn't mean much, even if there are people who criticize. My boyfriend has gotten criticism from an acquaintance because of our "age gap". 5 years down the line, 2 years does not matter. It's okay 🫶❤️
I’m assuming the age of consent for you is 16 or older where you live (if so then you have every right to feel uncomfortable by this because it quite literally is illegal and even if it wasn’t it’s still kinda odd because of the maturity different between a 15yo and a 17yo) I’m not really sure how to go about this either but I’d suggest maybe asking her if she had a younger sibling date someone who was 17 while she was 15 if she’d find it weird or if she had a future kid and they dated someone that was 17 even though they were 15 and if she would consider it weird or at the very least off putting? It’s definitely a odd situation that’s for sure
@Brian__ Thank you oh my goodness, I needed someone to agree, everyone keeps acting like it’s normal and it AINT BRO, but that is a good idea, thanks for suggesting!!!

Hey, so I wanted to ask about something that is trying to bother me right now. I just thought to come on here before letting my mind ruminate over and over and over. So a year ago when I was 22, I did not have many people to talk to aside from my roommates who were either not home during the summer or just to themselves so I decided to try out Omegle. I talked to a few different people on there, but there’s two people in particular that kind of made me worried. There is this one girl I was talking to from Canada and she told me the story about her and her friends smoking weed, and I told her about how my female roommate used to sleep in my bed. But the way I told her that was by asking for her Instagram so I could DM her that rather than say it out loud because my roommate was in the next room. At some point during our conversation, she told me that she was 16, and I’m not even sure how we came about that but she told me. Before I continue, we were not flirting at all. We were just sharing stories, that was it. My intention was to not flirt at all with anyone because of age and the fact that they probably nowhere near me. Also, I just kind of thought it would be weird too. But now I can’t remember if she told me her age before I told her about my roommate or after I told her about my roommate, but I feel like it was before because I kind of felt like I should’ve unfollowed her after. And what made it worse is that somehow my roommate saw her Instagram handle and followed her as well. Another instance was when this girl was being very goofy and playing the character and I was joking back and I ended up being invited into their Instagram group chat, where I found out they were also 16 so without saying anything, I left the group chat. So my worries if this was inappropriate or was it just a conversation that I probably should’ve cut short. I’m not sure but it’s starting to worry me. And just for context, I have no idea that girl or anybody else since that day and it NEVER went sexual at all. So yeah, that’s the story
Dose anyone know uk law quite well or anything like that. Basically I would search up thing on TikTok and whattpad multiple times that now I know was disgusting and I really shouldn’t have but I was like 14, 15 and I didn’t understand at that time . I really didn’t know and I’m scared what I did was illegal without knowing it.i really scared
So one day a couple months ago I saw some posts on threads pop up on instagram and they said I’m 17 and horny and 18 and horny or I think I even remember see a 16 year old one. I’m 20 and I remembered that when those popped up I clicked on them and I don’t know if I did it out of true attraction or out of the urge to make my anxiety go away. I feel like often times if I see something that says any number under 18 even if it has nothing to do with age it could be talking about season 17 of a tv show my mind immediately goes what?? 17??? And then I click on it to make my anxiety go away. So when I remembered all of this I downloaded the threads app because I wanted to see if I could get reassurance and see if I could rekindle how I felt in these moments. When I opened the app all I saw was posts like that but everyone claimed to be 18. The only problem is none of the girls looked 18 they looked like 14-16 so I started to panic I and worry that because I clicked on the threads in the past it popped up more and I was a pedophile for that. All of the accounts all pretty much had only fans links so at that point I was like well they have to be 18 then but now I’m worried that maybe it’s a scammer and they are using underage pictures of girls and putting them on onlyfans. Which I know is out of my control but I just feel like a Pedo and like I did something wrong. Does anyone have any advice? Or have any similar situations/ similarities with this?
