Minors messing with minors has got to be a judgment call. Kids play doctor - and that's cool. Young teens grope each other - and if mutual consent is involved (and a healthy respect for the biological traps - pregnancy, retroviruses...) it can be among th headiest experiences of a long and happy life. The only thing that would scare me is some big 16-year-old guy with experience tightening (uh HUHuhuhuhuh) the screws (uh HUHUHuhuhuh) on a semi-scared 14-year-old girl. It happens, and the only remedy I see is for a parent or older friend to teach a young girl before the danger/opportunity even arises - 1) what is what (maybe not with as much ... loving participation ... as our Hawaiian contingent would recommend, lol) 2) that it's OK to disengage. The girl has a choice and a duty to say NO if that's her desire - and it isn't bad manners or uncool to do so. Wonder if this addresses your point. Cheers Lather

I have no problem with minors messing around with minors. I did it as a child. I got caught on more than one occasion. My mother was furious and shocked about it, but it didn't stop me. My son did it when he was little, too. No one, including the parents of the little girls involved, took it seriously. What do you think about children and sex play (usually 'doctor,') Edwarda? Edit: I just remembered an incident when my young son, maybe he was six or so, was playing in another room with the two little daughters of a friend of mine (still a friend), when she went into the room and discovered them all naked and conducting examinations of each other. She said, "Excuse me, children. When you're ready for it, there's a snack waiting for you in the living room," and went out and shut the door behind her. They all turned out great, and are still friends!
