It's an unwritten one we all agree to. ;)

The Marquis de Lafayette and Alexander Hamilton would get ignored by people with current sensibilities. By todays standards they'd be considered way too young for the kinds of responsibilty they had back then.

There's a case where a 12yr old boy and 13yr old girl were both charged with statutory rape as adults because he got her pregnant and the laws did not allow for any exceptions. The boy was convicted and later pardoned because "this ain't right". The girl was found to be not guilty. She will be...

My youngest is barely old enough to drive a car on city streets without a licenced adult sitting in the passenger seat. When she said "Grandpa, we aren't buying that" a few weeks ago everyone present perked up and listened.

He skipped a grade. My youngest had to repeat one because she got sick and missed most of it. She is also old enough that what she has to say about how our family trust gets used must be taken into consideration. Yes, that's still very much a thing and I doubt anyone in their right mind would...

Some US states don't and taking someone under the age of 18 across state lines for sexual purposes is a Federal crime. Federal sentences do not include the possibility of parole. I am going to make it very clear to my daughter that she might find herself in an enormous amount of trouble no...

I skimmed past this post the first time through but it randomly popped into my head this moring ... My youngest and her sweetheart have been close for so long that he has the keys to our house and him being there for breakfast in the morning is met with a shrug and an extra place setting...

Some of the people who post here are parents. Hell, if my eldest insists on "dating what daddy doesn't like" I might be a grandfather within a year. I'm not going to like the guy my eldest daughter is about to bring home until my wife is ok with him and he's just as miserable as I'll be after...

"If you can't be polite, you can't be anything." Seriously, WTF is wrong with you?

I did not. She's the about same age as my mother and they went to school together. "Everyone gets a trophy" is obnoxious. I do not deserve a trophy for getting a D in home economics. That merely means I'm not going to completely fuck up "girl things" like cooking dinner and hemming a skirt or...

I wouldn't go quite as far as you did. Children do need teachers because parents don't know everything. My parents do not know how to draw a set of blueprints. My siblings and I do. That's a skill less than 1% of Americans have and we know how to do it by hand ink-on-mylar when there is no...

I missed this ... When I was 17 I took a plane from the US to Germany and back just to buy some beer. Quite possibly the most expensive "I am underage" beer run ever.

That gene is one we've got. https://www.verywellfamily.com/the-twin-gene-do-twins-run-in-families-2447285

Eleven of my twelve sisters and at least one distant cousin.

No, not even among my nieces and nephews.

Yes. There are five pairs of twins.

When I was single during college I was often on the other side of that: women can often look much younger than they actually are. When I was 22 having a drink at a bar a 39-year-old woman started flirting with me. I asked for ID because she looked like she was twelve. Turned out she was a...

That's a big family. I'm the 4th of 17 and I only don't that many relatives.

There's the Traci Lords precedent. Almost all of her X-rated film work was done while she was underage. Posessing a copy of said work today would be a crime but almost everyone involved got off scott-free because they were completely fooled (including Playboy) by the fakes saying she was older...

Thalassemia, like Sickle Cell Anemia, is a recessive trait. I can not speak for the benefits of carrying, but not having go with the former. With the latter having the gene for it protects you from malaria. There's a PSA radio ad in my neck of the woods advising couples to check for the Sickle...
