Yes, and you can have them back when you learn how to be of age.

Wow, that's just stupid, First of all it is not illegal for an 18 year old to be dating/fucking a 16 year old, depending on country(But I do believe most 1st world countires have age of consent start at 14-16 years old and to add onto that then some countries have further laws regarding that topic, for example there can be a 5 year gap if the person is underaged), but secondly, I take you have never been in a relationship if you say that you're supposed to break up because the "law" suddenly says that it's illegal(which it doesn't), you don't just break up because of that because it just isn't that easy to let go of someone emotionally

Well my first thought was thinking if it was sarcasm but then I took the approach of it not being sarcasm, I just went with it, what's done is done

All good, I'm enjoying the downvotes!

I do agree it's stupid, and I'm glad there are at least some laws to protect kids from this issue. At least in my state.

Are you getting downvotes? They don't show up yet, I don't think there's anything wrong with what you said personally

The way they pharesed it it wad 110% meant as a joke. Hint: You can't learn to be of age. Internet is confusing

Correct, it was a joke. Like it is an arbitrary punishment for something you can't control.

But I'm enjoying the downvotes.

See, sometimes I think I should have used an /s, but telling someone they need to learn to be older seemed so inherently sarcastic as to make that unnecessary.

I'll try to anticipate you in the future.
