Jersh, Chris-Chan has a legitimate girlfriend and you're still alone.
Me taking relationship advice from Jersh would be like me taking stock trading advice from Homer Simpson.
Jersh forgets that concepts like childhood and legal protections for minors are recent concepts in recorded human history.
The idea that society has an altruistic obligation to add legal protections for minors wouldn't really be prevalent until the Industrial Revolution when social activists of the day were concerned about the well being of kids and teenagers working dangerous jobs (like factory work and mining) along with minors at the time being targeted by bad people. Back then, minors were expected to grow up fast and adapt to their environments fast because the law of the jungle often did not permit minors to fully enjoy their youthful years (in many ancient cultures, when you turned around 10 to 13 years old you were expected to learn the basics of home economics, learn how to grow crops, learn how to raise cattle, getting a job, you may be drafted to go to war if you were male, get married and often people below the age of 18 got married in those days, learn how to travel by horse, and the list goes on). Things like childhood and legal protections for minors are luxuries that can be afforded by developed first-world countries and some second-world counties.
If you want to look at how humanity used to be like back then, look no further than the third-world where kids and teenagers mature faster than their first-world and second-world counterparts because they have to adapt faster to their situations. Go to some African or Latin American country where it's not an uncommon sight to see a 14 year old driving a car to run errands; even if said third-world countries have laws that say how old you have to be to drive a car they're often unenforced because that's just how things are over there.
This isn't me saying that legal protections for minors is a bad thing (because legal protections for minors have been a net positive for humanity). This is me pointing out that legal protections for minors was a luxury that only the rich and powerful could afford while the plebeians had to deal with shit the world throws at them (disease, exploitation, war, famine, whatever the case may be).
If Jersh were to travel to a third-world country and look at how kids and teenagers act there then he would realize they are far more mature for their ages than those living in a first-world country because third-world living is borderline living under the law of the jungle where you are required to grow up faster in the third-world. Legal protections for minors is a first-world luxury, it is not universal. If tomorrow we see that the first-world nations as we know them collapses, the situation for minors living in said former first-world countries would return back to how things were before the Industrial Revolution.
, that's something I'd say. Genuinely shocked.
