I Promise.

It is an adult’s job not to date children.

I don’t care how “mature” your teenage partner is.

I don’t care how “careful” you are to “not be abusive”.

I don’t care how much you want this relationship.

I don’t care how much that kid wants to date you.

If you are in your 20s (or older!) and your partner is both a teenager and more than a year or two younger, that relationship is actively dangerous to your partner.

It is your responsibility as an adult to not date a child.

Kids should be able to have harmless crushes on adults without adults acting on them.

Kids should be exploring their sexuality and romantic feelings with other kids their own age, not with adults.

It is not possible to have an adult/child dating relationship without an unhealthy power dynamic. Being in a romantic or sexual relationship with an child is emotional and/or sexual abuse.

Teenagers need to learn where healthy boundaries lie between them and authority figures/people with power over them. Encouraging them to date adults actively discourages teenagers from developing appropriate boundaries. 

However “kind” you are to your teenage partner, dating them is harming them, and that is 100% YOUR FAULT.

It is your responsibility as an adult to not date a child.

Me: *gets paid on Friday* *broke by Tuesday* *survives off of $8 for two weeks*

That’s not being an adult. That’s being an irresponsible child. Like… That’s literally the opposite of being an adult.

who the hell asked you?

this aint no group discussion sweetheart. this is a college sophomore (60K /year tuition) working two jobs (that pay over minimum wage), whilst supporting his damn self (and family back home), talking about his situation on HIS post!

and ill be damned if some dusty, bottled neck, “what would a kinkajou do” looking white, tell me that Im not an adult because of the system, that wasn’t built to benefit me nor my family, forced me into countless unfavorable financial positions. 

Child my bills are paid, my mothers bills are paid, I got clothes on my back and food in my stomach (all of which i paid for).

so take that classist bullshit else where and think twice before condescendingly delving into other peoples business.

If you’re under the age of 17 you shouldn’t even read this; and if you do, you should not repost.

Just because you were born in 1996 doesn’t mean you’re a 90’s kid. … It’s not like you could remember the original Simpsons - I am sorry but four years of the 90s just wont cut it.

You remember:
-Step by Step
-Family Matters
-Dinosaurs
-Boy Meets World

You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons.

When everything was settled by:

-rock paper scissors or
-bubble gum bubble gum in a dish

When kickball was something you did everyday!! and you played on the monkey bars and knew at least one kid who broke their arm falling off of it…

You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time on a tape.

You remember when Super Nintendo became popular.

You always wanted to send in a tape to Americas Funniest Home Videos … but never taped anything funny.

You remember watching:
-The Magic School Bus
-Wishbone
-Reading Rainbow
-Ghostwriter on PBS

You remember when Yo-Yos were cool.

And you played with Gak, Silly Putty and Sticky Tack that you stole from the teachers walls.

You remember eating Warheads and Smarties

You remember watching:
-The 1st Batman
-Aladdin
-Ninja Turtles
-Ghost Busters
-X-Men

You remember Ring Pops!!!

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet, or Nano and brought it everywhere u went

You watched the original cartoons of
-Rugrats
-Wild Thornberrys

All your school supplies were Lisa Frank or Five Star brand

If you collected:
-Beanie Babies
-Pokemon cards (the oringinal 150)
-Coins with the states on them
-Carebears
-Silver dollars, which were cool to have

Everyone watched the WB

If you even know what an original Walkman is..

You know the Macarena by heart

“Talk to the hand”…enough said.

You went to McDonald’s to play in the play place

Before the MySpace/Facebook/Twitter frenzy…

Before the Internet & text messaging…

Before Sidekicks & iPods …

Before PlayStation3 or X-BOX 360…

Before Spongebob…

When light up sneakers were cool and you had spiral spring shoelaces

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs

When gas was $1.

When we recorded stuff on VCR

You had slap bracelets!

You actually played outside until it was dark!

Way back-before we realized all this would eventually disappear…

kkulbeokjji:

if you think theres EVER an excuse for pedophilia, unfollow me. if you think it’s okay to literally count down the days until a minor is legal so you can “thirst after them” without repercussions, unfollow me. if you think it’s okay to make sexual comments to/towards minors, unfollow me. if you insist that it’s the minor’s fault that they’re being sexualized, unfollow me. if you think it’s okay for an adult to be in a relationship with a minor, unfollow me. 

minors need to be able to feel safe and not be targeted for your sick fantasies because they’re ‘easy’ or ‘inexperienced’. minors shouldn’t be told that they’re ‘aged up in your head’. minors shouldn’t be taken advantage of by people they’re trusting to guide them and teach them. adults shouldn’t be emotionally and mentally manipulating minors into doing what they want. adults shouldn’t be telling minors about how they’re “jailbait” and expecting it to be a goddamn compliment. 

if an adult is trying to hit on you and you’re under 18, don’t entertain it. i know it feels flattering, and i know they’ll tell you everything under the sun about how you’re “just so mature for your age” and about how “you act so much older”, but they’re just manipulating you. there’s a reason they can’t get with someone their own age. please be smart and be safe. it can be hard to notice the signs and it can be hard to tell yourself that you’re being taken advantage of when you don’t realize it, but do your best to stay away from any adult who shows signs of romantic/sexual interest in you.
