Isn't the adult age in United States 21? If he was over 21 I'd be more worried. But it's such a dumb law... Sex is sex. 100000 years ago, nobody cared!!

In the US we have laws. A person is consider an adult at 18. Now even though he is 18 he can't buy alcohol. You must be 21.

Now I am assuming your 13 and it no wonder you think the way you do.

Sex is sex--yeah right! Nobody cared 100,000 years ago--how do you know? What was going on 100,000 years ago? Were in 2009 and many people care even though you might not.

In Michigan,I think the age for a sexual relationship is 16, it tends to vary.. 16-18, however if you are asking the question, obviously the relationship isn't right and your not ready.

At the age of 15 you are far to young to be deciding such an important move in your life, a move that should be kept until that special person comes along whom you wish to spend the rest of your life with.

Even though sex seems to be accepted before marriage these days, you are still a juvenile at 15 and really need to think very carefully before entering into such a serious commitment.

I am sure your parents would not agree to you seeing someone 4 years your senior but that all depends on the individuals concerned.

Perhaps you should speak to them to see how they feel on a general basis, before taking him home.

The age of consent in Mich is 16. But even then your parents can use other legal issues, such as deliquency and interfering with custody ( when a adult takes a child somewhere)

Also the chances of a relationship like this to last 4 or 5 more years, as he goes on to college or to work, as a senior in college not sure he would have a lot of interest in going to a high school prom. And 100 more reasons you would not listen to anyway

My parents have already met him and they do approve of him. As for him wanting a sexual relationship like Justwantfair says we have had serious conversations with each other about that he knows I'm not ready or interested for that matter to have sex with him and he understands that. He doesn't and has never pressured me to do anything like that he's very respectful

As long as he can be your friend and wait without pressuring you then I don't see a problem. If nothing else you have a great friend.

To be it bluntly, you are what is known as jail bait.

I think it is key soulXpeace, that you take note of the fact as clarified here, that statutory rape covers ANY sexual activity.

OK thank you

I just served on a jury for this yesterday, except the offender was 33 and the victim was under 13. Trial took one day and he's going away for four years.

Laws do vary from state-to-state, some are more lenient than others, but usually 16 is the cut-off age.

Your state laws are searchable online, but to understand them is another story.
