You are comparing a romantic relationship with a friendship?
Did I say that? No, I'm not.
The cab isn't the law. hmm If you google legal definition of child UK, you'll find it covers anyone under the age of 18.
I know. But the legal definition is to enable young people to benefit from child protection legislation, surely? The CAB point of view is a practical definition.
You don't need to push a kid straight out into childhood right into being an adult full on like that. Gradually seems to be the way to go
I think this is exactly my point. Let them have a few years of adolescence before becoming adults. And that means trying adult things, making mistakes, and having parents to support them when they do. So trusting them and giving them responsibility.
14yo are not mature enough imo to be put in situations where they have to make these choices.
At 14 she is far too young, and 2 years age gap at that age is massive in developmental terms.
As I said upthread, in my experience girls do the majority of their growing up between 13 and 14. It's like a maturity growth spurt to go with the physical one.
It's a bit weird you think it is normal for 13 and 14 yo to be having sex.
I presume this is directed at the OP. I don't think it's normal. I said upthread that most 14-yo girls are mature enough to make the decision, and that the majority would decide not to have sex.
