In a weird way I understand where you're coming from, but that's because I can see things from someone else's point of view and I don't think you're doing the same. You're basing this, and similar situations, off of experiences that you've had and that way of thinking won't get a conversation far. Your childhood friends, yourself, and the people in this thread represent a small percentage of people in the world. Everyone didn't grow up in rough situations where they had to mature quicker than most kids their same age.
You're absolutely correct (in regards to a bigger conversation) but the key word you mentioned is "probably". Who are they "probably willing to have sex" with? A grownup or someone their age? I'm quite sure a lot of teenage boys masturbated to older women but a good majority weren't having sex with them. If they were sexually active it was with girls around their age, not with women who are 10+ years older which is what this thread is about.
I have a question for you--how do you propose that this can end or at least lower the amount of times these cases happen?
1st of all, thank you for the way you approached this convo.
Ok so for the 1st part... Simply... because there are young ppl in the world who have grown up like me and other ppl in my environment... all these situations cant be painted with the same brush. And my last point in my other post about puberty, kinda makes my arguement more well rounded. Not just specifically about me and ppl from my environment. If kids are going thru puberty at that age and their body is ready or wanting sex... we dont know what turns that specific kid on... it might be kids there own age, it might be older... it might be same gender... whatever
Im just stating that these kids shouldn't be looked at as "innocent babies" at a certain age because their hormones say other wise (Again, im not saying they should have sex, or any adult should have sex with them)
For your last question, which is the most important question, how do we end or lower these amount of cases.
Ive always felt that men should teach boys, and women should teach young girls. Somebody is always gonna rebuttal with "oh but there are gay pedophiles"...true but you can never truely protect ur kids from everything, ur trusting ur kids in a school system, shyts going to happen, however your going to lower these cases dramatically with same gender teachers.
Also, alot of these teachers are very young. we are talking 20 somethings. They arent that far in age from the individuals they are teaching. the teachers themselves are very vulnerable. There should be something that is looked into as well.
I personally would homeschool my kids. not really because of all this sexual shyt, but for other reasons
