yeah..... if you had sex with a boy that young you do know that's statutory rape in just about every state right?

Just one comment quickly before I respond. Once you turn 18, if you continue to have sex with a 12 almost 13yr old boy it is statutory rape.
Now as far as pregnancy goes, I'm assuming that you do realize for an egg to be fertilized the male needs to ejaculate in you. Therefore if he ejaculated in you, yes there is always a chance you could be pregnant.

even if she is still only 17 for who knows how much longer....that's disgusting!! he's a child. i mean God when i was 12 going on 13 i was still worried about my barbie dolls!!! who does that to a kid? plus if his parents found out....they could press charges now. or they could always wait till she hit the big 1 8.

and as for ur comment its disgusting for her to have sex wit a younger boy but its cool for men in their damn late 20s early 30s and 40s to come after us right? its alrite cuz the girl is 18 so its not nasty for an old *** 30 yr old man or 40 or even 50 yr old to come after an 18 yr old. i mean wat she did wasnt that cool but thats still my gurl and i do understand the circumstances under which it happened. and u aint got no call to call anyone disgusting specially wen u dont know who they are or how or why it happened. if ur comments aint positive or tryna help please refrain from making ignorant statements about it cuz i kno i didnt ask what you thought, i asked 1 simple question. NOT how do u feel about it. thank you

it's different when you're older. you're not a child. you're developed and can handle the emotional responsibilit (or child that may be produced) from having a relationship or sex with an older person. when they're 12-13 yrs old they may be sexually exploring but (besides it being AGAINST THE LAW) it's morally wrong for an older person (even if only 17-18 yrs old) to have sex with a CHILD! think if that were your child how would you feel? even if he "wanted it" she should have said no. now they may both have to face the consequences of their actions. so how's he going to feel possibly being a father before he's in middle school?

i still say bull.. it aint diff... grown men are in the same positions shes in. but i mean we're still young tho, the diff is grown men know how 2 handle lil girls and they know waht to say wen we reject them or get scared! either way its moraly wrong! wheter is a girl thats 18 having sex with a 13 yr old, or a 30 yr old messin wit a 18 yr old. im not sayin wat she did was right. and if he were my child he wouldnt b goin after older girls like that 2 begin with. and if he did id say hes **** outtal luck he shouldnt have done it. and hes not a damn child....you are a child at 10 and younger. i think its funny how u older ppl wanna treat us like were lil kids and sayin we aint grown but the minute somethin like this happens thats wen u allow us to be older....thats wrong. and no we cant handle the consequences that come from sexual encounters. i mean u see wat happened that one time the 19 yr old threw her damn baby away? y u think half of usend up killin our kids or gettin abortions or we end up in counseling and ****. cuz we aint realli mature enuff to take it! we get ourselves into **** thinkin "oh im 17-19 so im grown and i can handle it" its a known fact that we aint realli mature until u turn 21! so i KNO wat shes goin thru i mean i dont kno wat i woulda done either! i prolly woulda done the same thing. that kid was stalking her! every where we went he was there, pushing her up against walls. and hes a strong boy too. i mean we''re all the same height! he may even b a lil taller than me and her! weve both tried pushin him away and threatinng him. and his inly words were whos gonna find out..........so she finally gave in to get him 2 go away. but even that didnt work cuz now hes commin after me as well as her, showin up at our houses at 10 am or 9 pm pretendin theres a party

exactly she's NOT MATURE. and it is different. because once you hit 18 it's not against the law. yes it's sick but not against the law. and ummm if you didn't look i'm 22 going on 23. so now that I am pregnant i know how to handle it. and oh my goodness it's not to a 13 yr old it's to someone my OWN age. it's disgusting and as i said AGAINST THE LAW to have sex with a 12 yr old. when she has to go and tell his parents oh i had sex with your son and i'm pregnant....if they're like most parents i know they're going to be pi**ed possibly press charges. (which they can do since she's 5 years older then him) she should have said...that big word...NO (even if he is "bugging" her, she could have gone to the police for a restraining order or a pfa). if she had...then she wouldn't be in this predicament now would she? and at 12-13 yrs old...he IS a child! he's barely a teenager!!! he probably still plays with g.i joe for christs sake! and as far as what others do is that her situation? now if she has an abortion or throws away her baby then she's going to have to deal with it. either way she's going to have to deal with the consequences of having sex with a child. does her b/f know she's slept with his baby brother?

theyre not dating no more. so no he dont know and he was the one tryna get her to do it while they was datin. i heard him my own damn self. so i highly DOUBT hed care. and u can say hes a child cuz ur in ur 20s. ur not that much older than me but ur still an adult. i aint. even tho he is young 2 me he aint no baby. and i think he should learn how 2 b responsible also. hes a BOY for godsakes, that means as long as hes under 16 he can go around screwin watever and gettin girls pregnant and it  aint his fault? ********! and u are outta touch wit wat kids under 16 do babe. around here ur done playin wit toys at 10! maybe a lil younger. i dont know how it is out there. maybe its still like the damn 1960s where u at but out here kids grow up fast as hell. he aint a damn virgin. most of us loose our damn virginity at 12 anyways! i did! so i mean it aint a big deal like ur tryna make it. i do think i remeber askin if she can get pregnant. wat i DONT remeber asking is how u FEEL ABOUT THE DAMN ISSUE! Sweety if ur pregnant i kno u can get ur feelings hurt easily, i kno this, i got about 5 friends who have been pregnant or are right now. so ima quit while im ahead cuz theres some **** id love to say but see i dont like makein ppl cry specially pregnant ppl. and one of my nys res was to b nicer. but its pretty damn hard with ppl like u giving ignorant opinions when they arent asked for or even needed! it woulda been fine if u had of just said she could get in trouble blah blah, watever. but u take it to a new damn level wen u call ppl disgusting. and u can say wat u woulda done watever but she aint u! and that lil boy or *child* as u wanna call him, needs 2 learn that he cant go around tryna push girls into corners no matter how old or young they are. it aint like she just went ahed and did **** the 1st time hes been jockin her for weeks and she been rejectin him. but he gets her by herself and no matter how loud she says go away, or no he pushes her! so i mean wats a girl to do u kno? she does feel extremely bad abot it shes been cryin alot ever since it happened. but i see it this way it was as much his fault as it was hers. and hes gon have to deal with the consequences of shovin older girls into corners and ****. and umm as of right now it aint against the law cuz she dont turn 18 for another few months. and he turns 13 this month.

Yeah we can't tell anyone about their morals.. But, a 12 yr old has no buisness having sex. I would be soo upset if I had a 12 year old and their already having sex. A 17 year old should have someone around her age. Wanting to explore sexually is fine, but if your 12, it should be to yourself. Not with someone else.


This is only my opinion.

I'm going to keep my morals out of this, but I must say that kids now do not act like kids did even 10 years ago.  They are maturing MUST faster with help from TV, the internet, media and music.  I live and teach in New York City and I see this everyday.  Teenagers do not look or act the way they are "supposed" to act and most of you might be shocked to find out what they are doing sexually.  Again, I am going to keep how I feel out of this, but I think we need to help her instead of ranting and raving about how innappropriate and immoral we think it is.  Assuming this is a legitimate post, she is worried and nervous for her friend and trying to get some help.  Many 12 year old have sex, and we need to educate them on how they can make the right decisions before we say how wrong it is.  If the young man ejaculated inside your friend's vagina, then yes, there is a possibility she can be pregnant.  I am not 100% clear on this, but I am fairly certain that in NY it is considered statutory rape if both parties are minors and have an age gap of more than 2 years between them, which in this case would be considered statutory rape.  It is then up to the parents of the younger party to press charges.  You'll want to look this information up or contact your local Planned Parenthood because I don't know what the laws are in PA.  Best of luck to your friend.

how am i acting like a hefer? do you even know what a hefer is??? probably not. it's a cow. so what b/c i'm pregnant i'm a cow? no i don't think so. no matter how much they sugar coat it...it's WRONG. obviously they don't have parents who are that active in their lives or have told them of the consequences of having unprotected sex so young. either way...she's wrong. he's wrong and if he does get mad at her he can get her into a TON of trouble. now i'm done talking to you since i'm sooo old and have no idea what kids do these days. (i do have 2 14 yr old brothers who come to me with their problems...and they're not having sex...our father had that discussion with them and told them what could happen...and not only having kids but all those lovely std's out there). oh and if she does get in trouble there could be chances she'd be arrested for child molestation. which means if she would go to jail...when she got out she'd have to register as a sex offender. good job at the age of 18.

Calm yourself down.  Acting defensive naturally makes other people ruffle their feathers; it's a neverending cycle.

Truth?  Yes, the woman can get pregnant.  Sperm develops once puberty begins, which means that protection must be used.

However, I must agree with the others.  It is illegal to do such things, whether they both consented or not.  Additionally, I am 17 years old, and while I have experienced sexual acts, I have not had intercourse.  To say that all (or most, even--many of my friends lose it in the later years of high school) 12 year olds have started having sex is a bit of a overstatement.

If people are starting to have sex at that young an age, sex ed should teach wiser condom usage.  A pregnancy issue to happen that young is insane.

some of us just make bad decisions if we criticized everyone for for what we think was morally wrong their wouldnt be anytime for all of us ttcs to actually concieve seriously yes its wrong but who r we to judge i mean how many of us have made mistakes, would you want someone sitting there telling you how wrong u were and how we have NO morals, some opinions need to be kept to the people who make them i have 10 siblings all younger than me most of them r teens and pre teens yes kids these days make bad decisions but havnt we?ive learned from my mistakes i think shes findig out the hard way.Sometimes its the only way to learn.so leave them alone help them with their question and let them be on their way.anyone with parent INVOLVEMENT should kno this......if you have nothing nice to say dont say it at all...

We cannot be naive to think 12 year olds do not have sex and experiment sexually.  Please do not attack me, as I have not stated my personal opinion in this case.  This is not the place for personal opinions and sharing mine does not help anyone.  Like I stated before, I teach in New York City and you MIGHT be shocked to find out what middle schoolers are doing.  Let me give you a little example:  A couple years ago I walked into the girls locker room and saw a line of boys-- 7th and 8th grade boys I might add.  At the front of the line was a young 7th grader giving a boy oral sex while the others were "waiting their turn."  This happens.  Please don't attack me, as I am simply trying to help.  I think it's great that your father has spoken to your brothers about sex and it's also great they you have a strong bond with them where they feel comfortable talking to you about it.  I commend you and your family.  Unfortunately, it is not always like this.  I was not saying you're too old (I'm old than you are and consider myself young and fabulous!) I'm just saying things are changing from when we were in middle and high school.  I am no longer at that middle school, but I am teaching high school and our dean recently caught two ninth graders having sexual intercourse in the stairwell.

thank  you soo much. i kno it was wrong, but like u said the fault lies with both of them. but i had no clue that it can still b rape if they were both minors. i just hope shes not pregnant and  nothing comes out of this situation but the lesson to not mess with older girls for him, and to learn how to be firm when rejecting with her. but how can we keep him away from us wen he corners us.

What you can do is bring it up with an authority figure.  Stalking is illegal, and you can probably have some legal backing against you.

This also seems like a very abusive relationship, even though they are not dating anymore.  Try to contact a teacher, or the boy's parents, if not possibly the police.

You'll need to look into the PA statutory rape laws because I am unfamiliar with them and don't want to give you false information.  If he is cornering you girls, I would just try to stay as far away from him as possible.  If you see him coming, go somewhere else.  Do you guys attend the same school?  If so, maybe there's a teacher or guidance counselor who can help you out.  Find out the laws on S.R. first, because you don't want to get your friend in any trouble.

itssnowing is right. go to the police. even though he's only 12-13 years old stalking is against the law and both of you can get restraining orders/pfa's against him. if he breaks them then he gets in trouble.

i do have to apologize for being so callous. it's just i have brothers around his age and just thinking something like that upsets me knowing it could easily be them. plus, i know it's a horrible excuse, but the hormones are raging and i've been major crybaby and uber bi**h the past few weeks.

either way she does need to stop. if not and as we've said he gets mad at her for whatever reason he can get her into a lot of trouble. which i'm sure her only turning 18 does not need. she needs to think about her future and what the repricussions of her actions can lead to.

I totally feel sorry for your friend, and really hope she turns out not preggo and all works out ok. I know she must feel scared if this boy is bullying her. I think you should encourage her to go to his or her parents and just say he is pushing her around. I am not sure if they would believe her or not because she is older but at this point it is worth a shot. If they do believe her something could be done to remedy the situation and if they don't believe her well at least its out in the open so the parents can stop those 2 from having contact with eachother. If nothing is said the situation is likely to continue and if your friend is not preggo now she may end up pregnant if the behavior continues. As for your concern I think your a good friend for caring and trying to find out some info to help her. The girls on this post were right in saying that your friend could very well get pregnant from the boy even though he is younger that is true. I have to agree with you on some aspect about what kids do these days too because I am sure not all 12 year olds are as innocent as we would like to think, unfortunate but true. Again praying it all works out for you:) Good luck!
