Taken seriously?

Question

Hello ladies!
​
​I'm 16 and my boyfriend is 23. We're in a very VERY serious relationship and plan on getting married when I turn 19. However, a lot of people don't take us and our relationship seriously. It's rather annoying because I always feel like no one (except my family and close friends) take us as a couple seriously. Not to mention, our ages means that it's super hard to make friends as a couple. Anyone experience similar things? Xxx

Answer

Girl, dont let that bother u. My fiance and I are currentlh 19 and 34. We for together 3 years ago. We are now planning our wedding and ttc for baby one

Answer

Not being mean,  I promise but they more than likely don't take you seriously because your relationship is illegal.  I would just try to let it go and not get upset until you turn 18. That way you won't have to worry about upsetting someone who might decide to turn him in.  Good luck.

Are 16 and 17 year olds also protected against sexual exploitation?
The Criminal Code protects 16 and 17 year olds against sexual exploitation, where the sexual activity occurs within a relationship of trust, authority, dependency or where there is other exploitation. Whether a relationship is considered to be exploiting the 16 or 17 year old will depend upon the nature and circumstances of the relationship, e.g., the age of the young person, the age difference between the young person and their partner, how the relationship developed and how the partner may have controlled or influenced the young person. As well, 16 and 17 year olds cannot consent to sexual activity that involves prostitution or pornography.

Answer

I found this...maybe this will explain better via internet.
​
Age of consent reform in Canada. Age of consent law in Canada refers to cultural and legal discussions in Canada regarding the age of consent. The age of consent in Canada was raised from 14 to 16 inMay 2008. This applies to all forms of sexual activity.
