Question

is it ok for a 15 a sophomore and an 18 a senior to go out does that look wierd in the eyes of parents and teachers. R they going to think that we are having sex

Answer 1

You won't get a valid answer here, because whenever it's asked, people assume that your referring to sex. For example, look at the answer by Anda above.

Since when is eating pizza and going to a movie and having conversation "statutory rape"?

If the girl is mature and her parents don't have a problem with it, and you're honorable, there's no reason on Earth why it shouldn't be okay...except if some sort of false charges came about.

Answer 2

Don't do it. It's not worth it.

Not to be rude to you, but what would an 18 year old want with a 15 year old? Honestly.

When you are under the age of about 22, three years age difference really is a big deal. You go through so many things and grow during this time. Don't rush your life.

If you try to skip ahead and do 18 year old things now, you could get into the wrong crowd and end up doingthings you regret. Also, you can't go back and make up being a 15 year old (and 16 year old, etc.). So just stay with your true friends and enjoy the stage you are in!

Also, if/when you break up because odds are that you will you don't want to have a reputation of anything bad. And even if you lasted until the end of the year you do not want to be a junior in high school waiting around for a guy that is away at college. ENJOY the time of your life that you are in right now.

Stay friends - just friends - with him. No harm in that.

Hang out with lots of people. Hang out in groups. Go do fun stuff at this age. You can't regain that lost time later. Foster your friendships with your same sex friends - those will be SO important over the next 5 years, trust me.

Answer 3

Well that's kind of skating near the thin ice. For a 15 year old to date an 18 year old is considered statutory rape and could get the 18 year old in a bunch of trouble not to mention on you state sexual predator's list. Parents probably will not approve and teachers probably don't care but if they do they won't approve either.

Age has nothing to do with thinking that you guys are having sex, the 15 year old could be dating another 15 year old and they'll probably think that too. I'd be careful because some people are vindictive and if this relationship goes badly and they break up, the 15 year old might want to get even by crying wolf and saying that she was taken advantage of by an adult, the 18 year old. Good luck!

Answer 4

Well being that I was in the same scenario when I was in high school, I would have to say NO. It was the worst thing that I could have done. Do not get me wrong the girl was great (no not as in sex). I believe that we were meant to be. But because of our age everything went wrong. Her parent have me arrested and got a restraining order against me. Then thing got worse, we began to fight and started hating each other. The best advice I can give you is stay friend but far away from each other, if it is meant to be them when you are 18 go at it again as see what happens. Best of luck to you.

Answer 5

In my opinion 15 and 18 are ok. Like I have seen much worse things.

14 could be getting bad though for sure.

It really depends on the couple and the law of course witch in most cases your out of luck unless you live somewhere where the age of consent is 15 or younger. 16 is the youngest I know of and 18 is the norm.

Answer 6

no it's not OK for a 15 year old to be going out with an 18 year old all a 18 year old want is sex from that 15 year old. if an 18 year old would want to date my child because that what a 15 year old is only a child i would put him under jail.

Answer 7

Sorry to say it's not okay honey...it's actually against the law. And not only will they think you are having sex, but they are probably going to accuse him of far worse. I know the intentions may be in the best interests of your hearts, but society has deemed this a big no no. What do your parents think? Have you asked them? I know it seems like three years isn't alot of difference, and with women maturing faster than men, you can probably relate to him on lots of levels. It's just that because of the law, I'm suggesting you don't open pandora's box.

Answer 8

Well, depends on the parents & teachers. I'm hesitant to say it is OK. or not. I did that once. I was 19, she 16. Looking back, if I had been her parents, I would have been against it, like they were. We got way to serious way too fast. Neither of us were mature enough to slow it down. One saving grace was she was mature enough to say no, & I was enough to listen, till the next time. Frankly, I don't know either of you. If you know a woman in her 20s that seems easy to talk with & has a level head, I would ask her.

Answer 9

I think it's ok, as long as you hold off having sex. When I was a freshman (14 years old) my first boyfriend was a senior, and no one gave any grief. Of course, that was years ago... Just be careful. If you are caught having sex, he could get into some serious trouble.

Answer 10

i was 12 and he was 16 when we started dating... i will be 19 on december 9th.... so yea, its been a while and we are SO IN LOVE! girls mature a lot faster than boys do anyway, so if you are mature and you like him, who cares what anybody else thinks! people will judge you, but dont they do that anyway? as long as YOU know what the truth is, it shouldnt matter what EVERYONE else thinks! teachers never really said anything to me, and neither did anybody at school, because they knew he was a good guy ( not that it would have stopped me anyway, i love him, and when i know what i want, i go for it, we only have one life to live!) some of my friend parents didnt like the idea because they didnt want their daughters doing it, but in the end, a lot of their daughters ended up going through 10, 20 or more boys "their age" as where i am still with the same guy... age isnt that big of a deal, its only three years anyway. ultimately it up to you! do what YOU WANT and BE HAPPY! good luck!

Answer 11

yes as long as no one violates the law, curfew, sex what ever. Companionship is a wonderful thing for anyone at any age however breaking the law can do more than break the relationship and if you really like the person you will not want to risk the time you spend togather for anything because pardon my clique ( cleeshay) but anything that is worth is worth waiting for.
