Xanga
Besides this blog I have another hobby. I have a Xanga site educating young teens about the dangers of the Internet. Xanga is a blog host that many teens and even pre-teens use. Unfortunately most give out way to much information. I have found out that pedophiles love Xanga, they even have their own blogrings and display pornographic images and pics of their penis. Yah I know, it’s disgusting. The good news is that I'm getting a lot of teens reading my site, and the response has been good. Many kids after reading my posts have changed their ways.If you have time visit the Xanga site

I just stopped by your Xanga site. GREAT site! And suprisingly some of the kids are even reacting positively about it.
I want to thank you Punisher. You are doing a good job in a polite, thoughful and caring way. Thank you for caring.
KEWL :p
I am incredibly on the fence about this. What safe guards are in effect for those who have been wrongfully accused?? I believe, without a doubt, that if there is tangible evidence against the accused, then by all means lock them away for life. But what about those that date a 17yr old, and they are 25, parents find out and press charges? They are then defined as sex offenders, and are locked away for life?? Face it, teen age girls are a bit more free than they were 20yrs ago. Or what about those who do not have physical evidence against them, word against word, and they get convicted on testimony alone?? And they DID NOT DO IT, it was a family member or someone else??? Then the law you're putting forth is going to ruin the rest of someone's life. I want to know what safe guards, or safety nets you have in place for those incidences. You're toying with another humans life. However, if a man rapes and kills a child, woman, man and it is indeed proven, lock them away like the animals they are.
First of all, I love your Xanga site. Secondly, this is a great post.
Now... I have to weigh in on the previous anonymous comment.
For one, I think that a 25 year old man really should stay away from 17 year old girls. I know, I know... some may say that a 17 year old is old enough to make adult decisions. And I also realize that there is a difference between a "date" and sexual assault. But the truth is there are too many unknowns and young people are too impressionable to be venturing into an intimate relationship. Regardless of the law, 25 year old men should play with people their own age. Seriously.
It's not the age difference that matters. My wife is 7 years younger than me. When I was 20, she was 13. But I didn't date her at 13 or 18 or even 20. I met her when she was 27. That's a huge difference. She was a "grown-up", not an under-aged child who cannot drink legally or vote.
If you are in a position of authority, leadership or trust (i.e. teacher, councillor, minister, doctor) and you have a professional relationship with a minor, you MUST keep a PROFESSIONAL distance. That doesn't mean you can't be caring or friendly. It means you have to be a mature adult, and don't cross that line.
If you have no reason to be involved with a 17 year old girl... then don't! If you're afraid you may be misconstrued as a pervert or a molester... stay away! It's your choice. Frankly, your reputation is of no concern to me when weighed against the safety and healthy growth of a teenager.
That's my 2 cents worth, although it's in CAD so you'll have to deduct the exchange rate. :-)
H-
I could not have written it any better. Thank you Harding. Your comment is a great addition to this post.
I applaud Harding for his post, and can say I agree with him 100%.
But I would also like to add that in most states, there is an age of consent. And usually a 17 year old is over that age of consent. There may be misdemeanor charges which apply, but if the sex was consensual, usually there won't be felony charges.
But, even if there were felony charges.....if there was actually caring and a true relationship, could they not have held out one more year, out of the love and consideration they each should have had for the other?
Hi!
I like your story.
But you'd better take a look here to find a really DIFFERENT dating site.
Looks amazing, agree? :-)
