relationship of powerful person/weak person. I think you'll get a
similar effect when you have someone sleeping with their boss, whether
it's consensual or not. One person inantely has more power, so the
dynamic can be f-ed up.
I think most kids have probably had sex by the time they're 15 or 16.
I don't necessarily think that's the best thing for them. I don't
think it's necessarily the worst, either. It's all really relative.
Like, I think a 16 yr old kid that has an open relationship with some
adult who's helped them think through the ramifications (physical &
emotional) of being sexually active might be totally equipped to have
sex. Some 19 yr olds would probably be less equipped.
I dunno. I just know that teachers should keep their hands off students.
