if I am not mistaken groups of 16 year old girls might be quite merciless... not sure it's such an easy task
Yeah, they'll run rings round him. He'll probably be found sobbing in a corner.![]()
You're not wrong!

isn't he in loco parentis?

I work wıth 18-22 year-old women, several of whom have made advances over the years. I've never been ınterested because they so obvıously want what I am not who I am ıyswım. Yes really.

isn't 15 euros about 9 pounds?
Just to comment on the idea that 16 yr old girls are perfectly capable of making their own decisions re: sex. I don't agree all are capable especially re: predatory older men. Some men can be very clever at saying and doing the right things to impress (to get them into bed natch) impressionable I-think-I-know-it-all-and-am-in-control-sexually 16 yr olds.
Some are capable of making decisions about a lot of things sure and some aren't. Sexually though....with an older guy trying to get them into bed? I'm not so sure...![]()
not all of them obviously but i think people underestimate how copped on teenagers are. Its patronising for a 16-year old girl to be considered a child, when plenty of them would be having sex/ drinking/ studying hard and falling out of nightclubs.
I am guessing more of them fall on that side than on still being children....

What are you that they want?
What's that mean: 'lıke a mad parent?'
you'd guess wrongly.
i, too was a sexually precocious teenager - but while i think it's relatively harmless for teenagers to be having (safe) sex with their peers, i think it
's perfectly possible, and indeed likely, that a man in his thirrties or older sleeping with a girl of 16 is manipulating them on some level.

I wasn't like that. I definitely still was a child at 16.

i wasnt sexually precocious, i was a virgin, but i knew what i was doing at that age, and wasnt easily manipulated. My schoolmates werent either.
i'm saying that people are wrong to assume 16 year old girls are children, in my opinion - theyre not!
Just out of interest, where do you get your opinion from? I just wonder.
In place of parents (I've prob written it completely wrong) like teachers are. You know, responsible for their welfare while they are in your care and away from parents.

Myself, but probably also parental influences. My folks treated me like an adult and put faith in me being able to think for myself very young.
Nor me.I don't think that recognising their natural naivety is patronising at all.
Indeed.And falling out of nightclubs: can't kids do that? I know I was. Not sure about using that as a measure of mental maturity, to be honest.
So you base your opinion merely on yourself as a teenager? Fair enough. And it sounds like you have a lot to thank your parents from but what about people who are less mature? To be honest, you sound like the exception and not the rule.
I don't think that if you were around 16 year olds more, you would hold the same opinion for long. They act like kids. A lot of them want affirmation and affection all the time. If you knew about the decisions some of the kids make, I think you might reconsider the idea that the majority of them are good at them.
Nor me.
Indeed.
Saying some (a lot imo) young women of 16 are easily manipulated sexually....doesn't mean they aren't capable of making most decisions about the rest of their lives, u know. Sexually it's a diff. ball game, imo.

maybe thats true. I wasnt speaking for all sixteen year olds but looking back, it seems to me lots of my schoolmates seemed more mature than immature. I just dont think they are 'children' by any stretch and they sure hate being patronised as such.
16 year olds are children.
i think a 16-year old girl might feel patronised by that.
Good on you stanley, get 'em pissed up and do some "erm" painting.
Who'd get a job like that then?
From a very posh German, all girl, public school. Just so happens a fellow artist is throwing a leaving party next weekend also
I can't believe my luck sometimes!
Yeah but with nice young attractive boys, hopefully. I was.
Still am.
