#if they've finally gotten the tools to set boundaries around themselves

[pxelbunny]

I just remembered that my best friend and first huge, life-altering crush in high school had a 25 year old boyfriend. We were 16~17. They lived together. It was cool because we could have parties at their place, he got us into age restricted bars and had a car.

What the fuck? No wonder our generation is stunted.

#i got my first proper boyfriend when i was in middle school and he was 19 and went to university #all of this was just considered perfectly normal #adults didn't even bat an eyelid at it #it just feels wild now with all the discourse online #don't know how kids have it in real life though #if they've finally gotten the tools to set boundaries around themselves #i hope so #delete later #random #personal #tw: grooming
