whoever that 26 yr old is, they need a serious look at themselves. i can't even carry on an emotional conversation with a 16 year old, let alone imagine a relationship with one, and going to jail for banging one, damn, that is crazy. i'm 28 btw.
but to each their own. and i mean that. although I think 26/16 is actually illegal. people are different for a reason, no need to try to fit us all into the cookie cutter, that would be boring.
as for the 15/14. i had several girlfriends around then. hell if you were in africa, you'd already be married. just don't get tunnel vision, realize that life is a long growing process, and people grow as much together as they grow apart. keep after yourself and make sure you do what you need to for you, don't let others dictate what you want, what makes you happy, and what makes you fulfilled.
