@Pauan I mention m arriage because religion was so hardcore that these men used marriage as a way to fulfill their pedo desires. Why would a late 20s man have interest in a 12 year old. They don't have anything in common and have no reason to be in a relationship. The sex thing is fine so long as its those who are close in age. Lots of creeps prey on school girls. The thing about the Netherlands made me laugh because you may say its weird, but I still have a hard time believing even 50% of highschool students are actively having sex or are non-virgins. Highschool was a lot of talk and no action for a lot, but that was a little over 10 years ago. Not sure how things are now and Canada is different, but very few girls were having sex, blowjobs was generally something at least 50% of us got (I remember health class being a bit of a scare tactic, saying it hurts the girl a lot the first time and some other bull shit. Saying it hurts a lot may make girls less likely to give up their virginity unless they really liked the guy. We seem to be ahead of the states by a bit and far behind many European countries. I know it ain't pedophilia, but when I've explained that the attraction to teenage girls is hebephilia or w.e its called. Then I hear things like, that word was only made so you sickos can try to get away from the term pedophilia, using a different word doesn't make it right. I still think hebephilia is wrong as I don't think teens are able to see that older people (I mean like 10+ years older than the teen) who have interest in teens have a sort of malicious and sexual aim. They want your body not you, but this isn't always the case like I said, I did have one relative who got married at 13 and her and her husband 18 at the time stayed happily married until death, but that was only one great aunt, I think my Baba was only saved because she fled to the city.
Sure you can get a job at 15 or 16, just like you do chores at home. Your boss is and the company are like your legal guardian at work. Responsibility level is judge and if judged responsible a child may be granted a position which manages other people.
In closing I will say that if you met a girl you are attracted and have a great time with ends up being a bit under age with you being in your low to mid 20s then it ain't terrible. Yet, that person is only seeking out teens for relationships and or sex, then it is most definitely wrong.
