So, my good friend (18m) had a falling out with his ex (19m) because the ex bullied him and also because he is apparently dating a 16f, so my friend thinks he is a pedophile for obvious reasons (adult + minor).
I can see why this would be considered bad but also, when I turn 16, my girlfriend will be 19 too, as I am currently a young sophomore who is about 3 years younger than her girlfriend, a senior.
You don’t say what country you’re in, so I’ll assume you’re in my country. 16 is the age of consent so it’s totally fine from a legal perspective.
Whether it’s morally ok depends on the people involved. Are they similar maturity levels? Or is one taking advantage of the other’s immaturity?
Either way, it’s none of anyone’s business.
