I greatly disagree with your response, daisy444.  What she has described already hinted at it being consensual.  Saying rape victims could've escaped their rape because they could "just say no" is stupid.  True, she didn't have to give in.  She probably shouldn't have.

Regardless, what he is doing is illegal.  Being stalked at any age by any person is terrifying.

How one is mature during pregnancy varies from person to person.  She may be 17 and be fully dedicated economic and health wise to her child (albeit, at the sacrifice of other things), or 35 and very irresponsible.

Gender doesn't matter. If you are 18 you should know not to mess with a little kid. and that's what he is. If he's pushing her up against walls and touching her, she should slap him......not just have sex with him so he'll leave her alone. && I resent what you said about young people and how you're not mature until you're 21 and young people kill their babies and whatever. I just turned 19. && I know I still have alot to learn, But maturity isn't about age. I've been living on my own and paying bills since the day I turned 18 and I'm going to be a mother in a few months and even though It's stressful, there is NO WAY I would "kill my baby" or anything. I am young but I am mature enough to except responsibility and do what I have to do to bring my child into a good life.
Don't act like you and your friend are victims to a 12 year old boy. You both have jsut a few more years than him of knowledge and experience and there is no reason for someone to mess around with someone so young. JUST SAY  NO. I'm sure there will be many more guys who try to pressure her into doing stuff, and if she can't even say no to a little boy than what is she going to do? Just give in to everyone? She is about to become a young woman VERY quickly and she needs to learn to be a strong, respectable lady or boys and the rest of the world is going to eat her alive. What if she does end up getting into trouble and getting pregnant. She seems to be no way mature enough or ready to bring a baby into this world. SEX HAS CONSEQUENCES!!!!! And the reason why "young people" often make bad parents is because immature teenagers are running around having sex with people for stupid reasons and they are often the ones who get pregnant and are not ready to face their decisions. Sex is special and beautiful when there is actually meaning behind it. && I find it so disturbing how easily girls will just give their bodies up these days. RESPECT YOURSELVES LADIES!!!!! Otherwise no one else will.

After seeing this I instantly thought it may be a fake.  In the event that it is not...... this is a serious issue that is criminal.  If a 17 year old and a 12 year old are having sex charges could and should be brought before the courts.  This is stagatory rape and the 17 year old should know better and for that matter be made to take the conciquences for her actions.  If the tables were turned and the male was 17 and the 12 y old was female I bet the 17 year old would have allready been arrested and charged with rape.  As a woman Im going to tell you this 17 year old.........Get your head out of your a** and find a boyfriend your own age leave this child alone.  You are fortunate this 12 year old is not my son because we would not need any courts for you to learn that 17 year olds do not have sex with 12 year old children!!

Wow that boy seems to have some issues of his own too. I know you feel for him cuz he is kinda young but I would def. get his parents involved.You don't even have to mention he did anything to you or your friend, maybe just have your mom call and say something like "I am a little concerned about your son, he seems agressive and angry lately and not himself" start off that way and see if his parents show concern and do something about it. Maybe they can get him into some counceling for depression or anger or something and then from there he will get help on his own when they find out by asking him questions in councelling about the other issues as well. I feel a bit bad for him too, but his behavior is not healthy. Him grinding up against you like that is embarassing and humiliating and lol it would have been great if his father caught him! But since his dad didn't catch him you can try to get him caught intentionally let him hit on you hard core right around the family members or you can tell someone. That would be option 2. I don't know what else to tell you. I am sure you have tried reasoning with him, explaing you don't feel for him the way he feels for you etc. and that has not shown positive results. So the only other way is to get outside help....get him caught in the act, or go the concern parent route. Oh one more idea, tell a councelor at school your concerned and have heard rumors that he touches girls. You don't have to say it happened to you, you don't even have to give any names. Just say you heard it and have read it in notes being passed around and your worried because he is a friend of yours or an aquaintence and your concerned for him and don't want him to get hurt, but you have noticed he is acting "a bit odd lately. kind of depressed, sometimes angry and sad" Sure enough that will get some attention on that boy and then he can get the help he needs without getting into major trouble or getting his butt beat.

In response to your other post, it looks like he has been harassing the two of you for a while.  That kind of behavior is just illegal, regardless of age or gender.

You told him off, it doesn't work.  You try to avoid him, it doesn't work.  It seems the only way to assure that he is out of your hair is to contact an authority figure, yes, an adult.  Once they know about the situation, they will save the lectures and get this fixed.

Please, she apologized.  If we can just let this little internet argument die, and address the information at hand.  I may not be a regular on this forum, but I can spot internet discourtesy.

She said sorry.  Ok.  Great.  No more personal attacks.
