Just because you wouldn't have called it that (and I wouldn't at that age, I'd have called it a miracle) doesn't stop it being abuse. That's kinda the point of having a legal age of consent - and teachers are supposed to be in a position of trust, which includes not taking advantage of students.

How is it taking advantage? How is it abuse? Its only wrong in the eyes of the law and that's the issue. We have some arbitrary law inherited from some other age, laid down by some sexually repressed and morally judgemental law makers. Do you really base your concept of right and wrong on that?

No - I base them on my standard of behaviour, but I don't expect people to live up to that. Heck I have difficulties living up to my standard from time to time!
But...you do need a "cutoff point" or you do end up with abuse. If you don't have an (admittedly arbitrary) age-based limit then you need to have a "competence test" system of some form which is horrendous to organise, administer, and monitor. The cutoff point in the UK is set as 16 (Vatican city has it at 12) which is pretty much reasonable - not so high that you can't fornicate befoer middle aged spread sets in, but at a point by which all "reasonable" people would agree that someone should be able to make their own decisions. Remove the cutoff point completely and you have a licence for perverts to do what they want, when they want: I imagine it would be relatively easy to "persuade" a four year old to do almost anything if you had enough chocolate.
The "position of trust" bit is even easier: you don't do it.

Well that age is taking it too far of course, that not what this story is about so it isn't relevant.
In fact there is existing law to protect anyone from begin forced to have sex, so the only reason that we have an age of consent is because we don't think any one under that age is capable of deciding. And that's a mistake. Loads of kids decide to have sex below that age, heck its normal to lose your virginity at about 14 or 15. I don't see any reason that being shown the ropes by an experience older woman, and we are only talking about a woman in her 20s here, is a bad thing, and compared to the furtive, and clumsy sex 14 years olds have, probably a good thing.

}

You can have group of more than 50 users in Telegram plus you can send much bigger files and it's suppose to be faster.
|

And Telegram is? And who own it?
|

That sir, is exactly my question
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}
|
|
|
|
|
|

and why?
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
