I agree with you. I'm planning to live AT LEAST 14 more years and longer is possible. +14 years is a long time now that you think of it.

What are the youthful times, again?

But like everyone said, don't rush into marriage. It'll happen when you're ready, until then, just enjoy life with what you have and live it to the fullest.

Technically speaking, youthful times are when you're not an adult. But in the context of dating and marriage, it sounds like you're saying they mean you're dating, fooling around, sowing wild oats, not too serious, etc.

Which can cause issues. It's all well and good to date and have in the context of getting to know someone, but messing around early on for purely selfish physical reasons tends to lead to problems down the road.

I offer the advice best given to me: go on group dates. A mix of guys and girls just going out to have fun and getting to know everyone, where no one is really seeing someone else(although they can be). Then when you get past 18-20, you can look more into one-on-one dates. Group dates remove a lot of the nervousness and expectations when you're just starting out, so you can focus on having fun and getting to know people.

*shakes head* eye never put myself down in such a situation as that! love is something that can be found and lost in mysterious ways! so, saying that someone is out of your league is wrong! or am eye wrong? eye dk. ehehee...

anyways, my boyfriend and eye just broke up a few days before Valentine's Day. and the next day we break up, my friend tells me he's been begging to see her breasts for 20 minutes and it's annoying her. ¬.¬ eye always choose bad guys!!

*nods* you should always look at the good side! because if you always expect bad things, bad things will come! ehehe.

[whitepearl]

Too bad for me because bad things still come even when I expect good things.

You should actually try researching more about Japan before just proclaiming you're going to go there. If you want a good idea about what teaching English is like in Japan, you ought to read Azrael's blog on gaijinsmash.net (though I think his host is dead so he's back to Outpost Nine now).

In any case, I also have a friend in SF; a good friend of hers is in the JET program and pretty much went crazy and had to come back to America. If you can hack it, I guess it's all right. But I've been to Japan twice and I'll tell you right now that I'd never want to live there. Visit, sure. But live there? No way in hell. God bless America.

Sorry for off-topicness.

In April I turn 26, and thus will officially be a Christmas Cake.

Except I'm not single, nor do I want Japanese men, nor do I want men at all... so I guess things are okay.

*tries so hard not to remind posters about Otaku Emperor*

Okay, you're 14. Quite frankly when I was that age, girls were the last thing I ever thought about (even less so than what mum has to yell at me about this time or when foreclosure would become reality). If I were you I'd try to stay away from the whole dating thing for at least 12months.

Why is it that people are starting relationships at younger ages? What next? At 8 years?

If a girl can get pregnant at 9 years old with an older boyfriend, why not?

There is something called sexual compulsion present everyone, the feeling of being "horny", so as to term it bluntly. This gives rise to something called "sexually precarcious", as many of the youngsters hit puberty earlier due to better nutrition, we'd be seeing more of these cases in the future.

In a way, this both justifies and do not justify the existence of lolicons.

Then it's debatable. Is it morally right?

I am a person who gives morals the middle finger, but logically speaking, as cute as they look, doing them is as good as ruining their future because they are emotionally immature to accept that weird feeling of something big and hard between their legs and popping their cherry. This is something called "running on conscience", and it is a whole lot better to keep your actions in check rather than adhering to some dumb set of social rules that make little or no logical sense.

However, if one that is mentally and emotionally intelligent offers to be my bolster (just hugging, no naughty things) for a night, I will take it up, provided she wears cat or bunny ears. But I doubt if they exist in quantity along with the natural cuteness, or they have the conscience not to manipulate that situation for their own personal gains.

I just wrote a wall of text in the Global Warming thread and I doubt I have the focus and energy to make another report in detail. So I will leave my argument to the one as it is on top.

Then it's debatable. Is it morally right?

Different places, different morals...some noble people can deem it right to wed their daughters at the age of 10, while others of another country would lock them up. So, on that matter, it's best to think based on the laws of the country you're in.

If a girl can get pregnant at 9 years old with an older boyfriend, why not?

Because with great sex, comes great responsibility!
Note that the girls in my previous example are only educated in married life, i.e. how to be "good wives" in a very old and outdated way of thinking.

[Haruka_Kitten]

Seriously though. Where do we draw the line? Once sex reaches 9 year olds, movie ratings will go out the window. I believe children don't need to be exposed to this stuff.

Right now such occurences are social phenomena, so I am sorry to say : wait and see before we make a move. Make a wrong one, and we will have millions of parents rioting outside the parliament house just because a 12-year-old is addicted to sex.

[Kafriel]

If we're talking about it becoming the norm, only in very hard times (war, crisis, huge natural disasters, anything that comes with great fear of death, etc.) due to lack of options. It goes without saying that children shouldn't be exposed to any violence and nudity until at least 13~14, but then again, children shouldn't be exposed to many other things...kids with cell phones at the age of 6(!) is quite disturbing, they don't even know how to read/write yet. There's also the internet, which is accessible at the age of 11, when kids know enough english and have some skill in using a computer...
Anyway, I'm getting off topic here, so to sum it up, my line's 18. Having sex any earlier can cause serious trauma to both participants in too many ways to list here. I won't go for 16 because that's the age of dating and getting to know what love is, which, at least for me, is a prerequisite to having sex.

[Haruka_Kitten]

*steps back* okay. We'll see what happens here.

So, back to the topic?

[Khu]

Me.

lol.

15 turnin 16 JUST FYI

Got half dozen roses, 5 lollies, a balloon and a serenade~

(And doesn't love depend on the maturity of the person?)

lol.

[Kafriel]

doesn't love depend on the maturity of the person?

No. Although this may seem weird or even offensive to teenagers, there are some things in life that only come through aging, and since I can't really explain it until you see for yourself, just remember the note for now

[Khu]

Hmmm, mkay.

I guess yeah, life experiences can only be done through living life... XD
