Answers:
I'm a 46 year old parent of three!. There is nothing good or right about your brother's relationship!. I believe it is also illegal!. Even if both are minors and the relationship is consensual, if there is more than 3 years difference in age, there is a problem!. Let your parents know about this, try to talk to your brother, and take the gloves off when it comes to the 17 year old (you didn't say boy or girl) - say or do whatever necessary to get her away from your brother!.

Do you want him to be a father as 12 years old!? Do you want him to have to worry about STD's!? Do you want your parents to hold you responsible because you knew about this!?

Do what you can to stop this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ok so I have always believed that age is only a number, not a measure of ones maturity or ability!.!.!.

But, there are always exceptions to the rule!. I don't know your brother, but any 12 year old boy does not have the mental maturity to be dating a 17 year old girl-girls are way more mature then girls, so a 17 year old girl is really like a 22 year old girl!.!.!.no way a 12 year old boy has the life skills or social skills to comply with someone that age!.

That girl needs to dig her cougar claws into a 17 year old boy!. :)

Have a good one!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Absolutely NOT !! The 17 yr old is on a totally different level of maturity, emotional responsiveness, sexual urges, and has so many things readily available to her that maybe a 12 yr!. old doesn't or shouldn't!. As a big brother I think that maybe you should rethink your stance on this and contemplate some of the scenarios that your little brother might be getting himself into!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeah its okay, if that broid wants to go to jail!. Your mom can go press charges on her as soon as they have sex, and she is out of there!!

She may be insane in the membrane, and not be aware of the statutory laws!.

On the other hand, I would tell your brother to put his sausage in her bun like the 4th of July!! He can always brag that he was 12 and was hitting an older chick!! Then go press charges on her!!

If it were the other way around, the dude would already be in jail now!! THIS IS WHY WE MUST ATTACK FIRST!!

Punish her b4 she punishes you!!

I have spoken!! EZWww@Answer-Health@Com

12 years old is to young for either sex to be dating!. That's one of the problems in this world!. Kids becoming adults at a far to early age!. They can't do their math questions but they can produce more kids which they can neither provide for nor offer moral support!. They are still thinking as kids themselves!. How can they teach their kids to be adults when they haven't experienced adulthood themselves!. a 12 year old boy is quite capable of impregnating a female in ovulation!. All I can say is "Where are the parents"!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, it's not OK for lots of reasons!. One common complication is that 17 year olds count on 12 year olds not being able to get them pregnant, but they seldom notice that Junior is maturing during their relationship and may have been ejaculating inside of her for some time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No its not OK! Both could get into deep trouble!. He is of the age of sexual maturity and only wants ONE thing from her!.

Why on earth would she want to be with him!?

There is something wrong with this picture!. Don't you watch the news about these high school teachers who have sex with their students!? They get put in jail!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't really think so!. I mean, you're talking about a 5th or 6th grader dating what could be a high school senior! Plus, depending on what state it is, it could still be considered a statutory violation!. Imagine if it was your 12 y/o sister dating a 17 y/o man!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

NO!

you can't even go into a rated r movie!. considering if you get carded!.!. you have to be atleast 17!. so you wont be able to go into the movies with ur 17 yr old gf unless they dont card!.!.

wait till your 16!.!. seriously!.!.itll come fast!.!. im 22!. sometimes i wish i can go back to being 18!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its weird!. Because 5 years is too much in terms of teenagers, in terms of adults like a 29 year old and a 24 year old, it'd be fine!. But because they're teenagers (just barely for 12 year old and nearly over for 17 year old) then just no!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i wouldnt think its right, especially of tht age difference, yea its ok when ur and adult and tht, but at his age, i would be concerned, and your brother is a little bit young for relationships at the momentWww@Answer-Health@Com

must be ONE desparate 17yo, with no social skills, or ability to date someone of her own age!.

bet it is a JOKE on her part, and poor little bro is the brunt of the joke!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i don't really think a 12 and 17 are in the same maturity groups, so I it's kinda weird!. But if one is more mature and the other is less mature than usual then maybe it's okWww@Answer-Health@Com

Where are your parents in all this!? They are very irresponsible if they allow this relationship to continue,

What sort of 17 year old would want to date a 12 year old anyway!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

ABSOULTELY NOT! No one should be dating at 12 years of age they should b focused on school and playing and enjoying their childhood!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no, and iam pritty sure she could get arrested if somone call the police, were i live a 4 yr difference in age wen both are under 18 is agenst the law,Www@Answer-Health@Com

no, because she will be wanting to have sex probably and if that were to happen she would go to jail!. he probably wouldn't say no!. she should find someone her own age!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

uhh no! thats like a whole different age group! tween and teenager! that is like a 18 year old dating a 30 year old! EWW! she is gonna be a cougar!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

The short answer is NO!. 12 years olds are too young to date anybody, and this sound predatory on the part of the 17 y/o to me!. Tell your parents ASAP!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

noooo
it would be a litlle more normal if it would be a 12 years old GIRL dating a 17 year old GUY

but that^^ just sounds weirdWww@Answer-Health@Com
