Is underage dating morally acceptable?

[Bobby Martnen]

By this I mean is it morally acceptable, in your eyes, for minors under the age of 18 to go on dates and have girlfriends and boyfriends?

When a girl enters puberty her body takes the shape of a young woman rapidly and boys her own age (and men) are gonna look (nothing wrong with that!). This happens way before 18. I don't believe in special numbers. I don't believe in sexual and romantic repression. I will dispel this idea that adolescents are unable to use their pre-frontal cortex for planning and reasoning, that they lack cognitive ability until they hit age xx. A 15yo is not juxtapose to a 5yo yet our government, propaganda establishments, nanny police, social services and social justice warriors seem to treat them as two of the same. I think this is damaging for adolescents as they have natural, normal sexual and romantic urges. Wrapping them up and treating them like babies until they turn 18 (or even older) is wrong IMO. If we infantilize teens ever further then there is a real danger we could be breeding a nation of young people reluctant to leave adolescence behind (manchildren, snowflake girls) which is already happened IMO. Maybe not... for some folk adulthood is realising that there are no grown-ups and everyone else is winging it.

Age of consent laws vary widely.
Seems like nobody can agree on what the age of sexual consent should be.
In the EU the vast majority of countries set their ages for sexual consent in the range of 14 to 16; only five countries, Cyprus (17), Ireland (17), Malta (18), Turkey (18) and Vatican City (18), do not fit into this pattern.

I have no issues with a person in their teens getting into a consensual relationship with an older person. Teachers should have ethical concerns when dating students, and I think they should be prohibited by school rules and be subjected to firing and blacklisting from the profession.
Criminal laws prohibiting teachers from sexual relations with students over the age of consent are draconian and wrongheaded.

It's a big problem for societies. In countries where legal age is 14, the girls & boys are mentally damaged by the time they reach the age of 18.

Sex is legal here after age of 14 as long as no adult parties are involved.

It doesn't say that in the law that I read online.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_o...urope#Bulgaria
"The age of consent in Bulgaria is 14, as specified by Articles 149 and 151 (1). However Article 151 (2) has a provision for those who are over 14 and do "not understand the characteristics or the importance of the act."
Art. 151. (1) A person who has sexual intercourse with a person who has not completed the age of 14 years, insofar as the act does not constitute a crime under Article 152, shall be punished by deprivation of liberty for two to six years.[7] Art. 149. (1) A person who performs an act for the purpose of arousing or satisfying sexual desire, without copulation, with a person under 14 years of age, shall be punished for lewdness by deprivation of liberty for one to six years.[7]"

about feelings, nothing wrong, totally normal because of being teenager but morally, kissing around people, hugging extremely etc are not true. Also Relationship is smth serious, they can try to know each other but they can’t have a relationship at least a real one i think

Pretty sure I don't.
Can you point out to this thread the part of the text I missed, that criminalizes sex at 14 "as long as no adult parties are involved?"

A person UNDER 14 is below the age of consent.

Yes it appears you do have problems understanding written text.I never said anything about criminalized sex at or under age 14.
