I don't think it has an impact for me, though I have 3 still in their teens. At the same time, the tools that I use to help protect my saplings seem to fall from a different bag than the tools that I've observed commonly being used to protect teens.

She should be out having fun,

So, my question is what kind of "fun" should she be having? What if her idea of "fun" is BDSM? If you ask me that's better than going out to parties (which is a stereotypical teen thing to do), or abusing drugs or alcohol and getting raped or worse...

Facts: in my country, legal age is 18
Facts: i`ve been invited to participate at a special sceneplay, the initiation of a virgin 17 years old slave...she was trained for about 4 months and her master thinks it is time for her to have her first session.
Well now i wonder if this wouldn`t be against the law...of course she consents, of course she wants it...but legaly she is still underaged...i still have doubts about her maturity...by being present at this session would this make me a criminal?...

depending upon the laws where you live, you might be considered to have contributed, i don't know. probably depends upon if any charge(s) were ever brought up and if your presence there were known.

I think emotional maturity would have alot to do with this actually. I was functioning as an adult from about the age of 13 or 14. I made the majority of my own decisions. My mother felt it was the best way to learn to be responsible for my own actions and how to learn to deal with the consequences of those actions. She was there for me to bounce idea off of or to offer advice when asked but other then that I was told to think it through and do what i felt was best for me.

If i chose not to attend school that day then realize i may fall behind and would have to work that much harder to do well. I had a large allowance but was made to realize that earning your own money ment alot more then having it handed to you.

Personally i was always more at home with adults then teens my own age as it was. I almost always dated men older then myself. My first Master was 31 and I was 17. My mother was fine with it. She knew that I was capable of making my own decisions and would probably not listen if she told me not to anyway.

I don't think you can adequately say because you are 17 you don't know your own mind. Heck I know people in their 30's and 40's that still don't know their own mind. I know some 17 and 18 years old that have a really good head on their shoulders. Trying to generalize about any group never works. You have to judge someone on themselves, not lump them in with what we think their peers are.

People are not unaware because they are young, they are unaware because they have not had the experience or the ability to learn. Age doesn't matter. A person is not an asshole because of their ethnic background but because they choose to be.

Steroetyping people is unfair and is rarely if EVER acurate. Judge a person on their merit, not on what you precieve them to be because of what you think they should be.

Not all blondes are dumb
Not all heavy people are lazy
Certain ethnic groups are not all bad drivers.
Not all men are assholes
Not all women are lying, backstabbing bitches

If they really thought about it, people would realize just how stupid stereotyping others really is. For we all fall into an undesireable category at one time of another.

Just my views on the world anyhow *smiles*

I only read the first page, so I'm probably being redundant. That being said,

You're never really old enough to make mistake-free decisions. All the cells in your body, except for the ones that make up your heart and brain, will be dead in seven years. You'll have all new ones. You're quite literally a different person. This explains a lot if you'll think about it. Your food preferences change every seven years. The seven year itch. Etc... There are lots of things about our bodies and lives that rotate on this pretty consistent schedule. Of course, it's a gradual process At five years and six months, you'll already have seen substantial change. So every seven years the person you are will look at the person you were and say "Wow. I was really stupid." Trying to avoid that feeling is probably a flawed idea. As long as you're learning and growing as a person, you're good.

When I was fourteen I was freaking out girls by holding their hands to their sides. When I was eighteen I had one of my English professors in a collar. Are those necessarily good ideas? No, but they were fun. Did I learn a lot? Yes. Did I make mistakes? Every day. Do I still make mistakes? Every day.
