I’m 33 and just taught my first real class at a university. The students are 19-21, and the first thought I had was that they were all babies. They’re not really, and they deserve all the rights that adults are entitled to, but they’re not dateable for me.
I get that as an instructor there’s another layer of responsibility between us, but they don’t even look fully grown to me

Dating a 16 year old at 37… I’m 38, and that repulses me deeply. They are kids.

I work in schools. The smell of a high school hallway is so repulsive. I don’t even understand how they date each other.

I’m 35 and my daughter is 15. When I’ll be 37, 16-year-olds will litterally be younger than my actual kid. This is all kinds of fucked up.

I’m 22. The idea of dating someone in highschool is repulsive to me.

I know three girls who have “arranged marriages” too. It’s surprisingly common in the US.

j/k, but eerily similar situation. Make sure your sister doesn’t feel trapped if she needs to get out someday.
