When young people reach puberty and their bodies begin to mature sexually, they cannot help but be interested in romance. It’s natural. Both girls and boys think about how to make themselves attractive to potential partners. This is why it is also natural for flirting and sexual talk to go on in high schools. It can become offensive sometimes, but most kids can handle it because the students are all about the same age, maturity, and experience level. It’s also normal for teens to flirt and talk with their classmates about sexual matters online.
But there are enormous problems with teens getting involved in sexual relationships with adults. For one thing, it’s illegal. Why is this true even if the sex is something the teen agrees to?
The law recognizes that it is impossible for sex between an adult and a minor to really be mutual because of the older person’s power over the younger person. The law recognizes that, in our society, adults are often seen as being in a position of power or authority. The law also recognizes that when a teen has sex with an adult there can be a negative impact on the healthy sexual and emotional development for the younger person. So the law tries to prevent this from happening to a younger person.
You might think it’s just having fun to test out your power to be sexy online. You might also think about talking about sex to online acquaintances and posting sexy photos of yourself for strangers to see. But these are risky
behaviors. They can result in you receiving crude comments you aren’t prepared for and don’t want. Or it might feel romantic at the time. But going further and meeting face to face can harm you emotionally later.
