appropriate or not??

Kind of on the fence on this one. She'll be 18 soon, but still I'm always concerned when I hear of situations like this. Not just age difference its also a possible experience difference, even a maturity difference. Sorry I can't be much help on this, but be sure to watch your friend's back if you can. I don't want to see her get hurt, because that is also a feasible possibility in this.

I think every situation is different in cases like this, some people can be very mature at 17 and som people can be very young in mind at 25 so I guess you would really have to know the circumstances and the people to make a judgement on that...best to stay out of it reallu unless you yourself see something that maybe not right.
