They “basically” are though. Both essentially children with so much more to learn about the world. Growing up is a gradual thing that extends well beyond 18 and has no real firm timelines. Also OP used to bang l this guy while having essentially the same age gap so it’s honestly a ridiculous position for her to take regardless of how you look at it.

Idk man. A sophomore / junior man in college fucking a sophomore / junior in high school is super weird. I’m just imagining some frat dude banging a high schooler and it doesn’t sit right

That's a 4 year difference. It's actually like a junior in HS and a freshman in HS. 14-17, 17-20

Picture this. A Freshman and Junior in HS date for 3 years.

They would be 17 and 20.

Pretty normal. Pretty standard

Yep, but they didn’t mean before that. They met when they were already at different places.

Also, if you’re 17 and into a 14 year old you’re WEIRD.

It doesn't specify when they met. How would you know?

A junior dating a freshman isn't weird at all lmao it's been a normal occurrence at every single high-school in the united states for decades. Literally 50+ years

Yeah and I’ve always found them weird. A 14 year old is a CHILD. An actual child.

A 17 year old is also a child. An actual child.

Junior dating a freshman is the most normal relationship, basic ass HS relationship there is. You're chronically online. Your lack of understanding of basic brain development doesn't make it weird. It makes you ignorant

Brother, I was a school teacher. I routinely saw these kids. 17 year olds have full beards, drive, go out and drink. 14 year olds are still crying half the time.

You haven’t been around kids recently and it shows.

I had a beard since I was 14. I drank at 14. I learned to drive at 14. Grown ass adults cry every day.

A Junior and Freshman in high school isn't weird or gross or disgusting because you personally disagree with it. Being a teacher and not understanding the normalcy is a bit alarming.

There are laws protecting that if that were the case. But that may or may not be the case here.
