You have a hard time believing it possible, so it can't be true? Are you aware that many models you see in magazines are only in their early teens, made to look older with makeup?

It can be true if your judgment is poor. > Are you aware that many models you see in magazines are only in their early teens, made to look older with makeup? I'm not sure what this proves considering you can manipulate photos to look like anything. I would be able to tell within minutes of talking to them in person -- as would any reasonable person -- which is what the discussion is about. If you want to go that route though, actors are almost universally older than the characters they play, especially characters in their teens.

  Judgement has nothing to do with my experience. It can also be true if someone experienced extreme precocious puberty from unknown causes, is highly gifted and a voracious learner/autodidact, is emotionally intelligent, went through some shit in life, and basically had to become the "adult" (became authentically internally-stronger and didn't fall apart) of the family and of siblings when their birth parents were irresponsible and infantile. Improbable? Sure. It happened. Keep judging, impugning, and denigrating from afar. Have a good day and a productive life. :)

      He said nothing illegal happened, so what should the FBI do? I wish the FBI could look into people like you.

    Dude you got lucky but not in the way you think you did. You found this kid that had a rough life and that led you to bond with her. That could be something good, but you bonded with her in a way that's entirely wrong for an adult to do with a vulnerable minor. You got lucky in that you got that warning about yourself to try and change a dangerous behavior. You don't think of yourself as a predator for what you were doing but that's what it makes you. You may mean no harm but you will cause it if you keep down this road. Look into this critically and seek help instead of blathering about puberty.
