    I remember in school in the 2000s 13 and 14 year old with 19 or 20 year old boyfriends. I bet many still do today but I don’t hang out with 13 or 14 year olds at my age to know of the few that do.

      In Canada the age of consent was 14 for a long time. There reason was they didn’t want to make kids out as pedophiles like America does. So now we have a more complicated consent system that protects the kids from being taken advantage of by people way older but allows kids to do what they have been doing for centuries.
