ORIGINAL: ishyB ~FR~ Who here has never lied before? Did nobody here ever did stupid things as a kid? Did nobody here ever had a beer before there were old enough to drink? Did nobody here ever went to a bar before they were 21? Did nobody here ever drove a car when they had a couple beers? Did nobody here ever tried cigarettes before they were 21? Did nobody here ever tried drugs, or smoked pot? Did nobody here ever try to drive a car, on a dirt road, before they had a license? Did nobody here ever had sex before they reached the age of consent? Did nobody here ever saw a movie that they were to young to watch? Really, I feel like a terrible terrible person now, because I did at least some of the stuff on that list... As to "endangering" this site and everybody on it... It seems to me that publicly making this big of a circus about the whole issue is doing more to endanger the site than anything the OP ever did. She never went to flaunt the fact that she was underage before she was pressed publicly for an answer on it. If the real, serious, concern was that she might have been underage, it seems to me that, in the name of the safety of the site, such a matter should have been handled privately by those concerned about it... perhaps followed by reporting the issue to the CM administration. Further, as to endangering men and being "jailbait." There are many places within the US and the rest of the world where the age of sexual consent is not the same as the age upon one reaches maturity. In many countries and States, the age of consent is 17, or even as low as 16 (Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia for example, or in the whole of Canada.) Also, in many places, if the adult engaging in sexual relations with a person under the age of consent has reasonable grounds to belief that said minor was old enough to consent (reasonable grounds being things like the minor looking older than they are, and them lying about their age) then the adult will not face criminal charges. Perhaps some people here are dramatising the whole issue a bit? That is not to say that I don't think the OP made a mistake, she did... only, I feel most of us out there might have made some mistakes growing up, right? So maybe, just maybe, she isn't the worst person on the planet after all... I wish you all well, ishy lol thank you<3
