Sexual harassment

[WaffleFaerie]

I don't think being an adult is only about being fully developed, but being developed enough that your parents shouldn't have to take responsibility for your actions anymore. A child behaving badly, committing crime or doing stupid things is the parents' fault. When it's adults doing those things it's their own fault.

I'm sorry, I was being a little light-hearted and silly with that comment. It's a delicate job, bringing levity into such a gloomy thread about such a grave topic, and perhaps that was a mistake on my part. I wasn't really trying to address the legitimacy of legal age of majority or criminal responsibility, I just wanted to refute the idea presented by Zsolen that an 18-year-old should just "know better" than to be a victim of an online abuser simply by virtue of being 18. I can't say I would have known better at that age, that's all.

You still know better by 18 and you were an adult at 18. You would know something is wrong. Growing up sheltered doesn't remove basic instinct.

I really don't feel like Googling missing and murdered girls over 18 to use as evidence against this, so I'm just going to exit the thread.
