Not if he is a gentleman

not if they rly like eachother

If The Male Is Older Then It Is Likely To Be Frowned Upon

On The Other Hand, OK If The Female Is Older

No if thay like each other

The emotional maturity of a senior is dramatically different than that of a freshman. At this stage in the game younger girls like to think they are more mature and male seniors are more sexually agressive. This social dynamic always works out to be a negative for the younger party. Peer pressure to maintain the social status of a relationship with an older person and the perception that they are somehow "special" just because an older person sees "something" in them that others do not can influence their judgement where sexuality is concerned. Younger children do not have the social experience older kids have, and a break-up in this situation can be devastating for them. The senior needs to either develop some maturity and find someone closer to his/her own age or abstain from dabbling with underage people. A casual relationship with a younger person shows a lack of maturity no matter how "adult" and "experienced" the younger child thinks he or she is- you are taking advantage of a younger child's need to feel like they are important and belong. This is not only selfish but is in some cases classified as pedophilia-when the senior is 18 and the freshmen 14. Or at least this is the concensus of the 5 pregnant teenage girls in my son's class- Yep they are all middle class 10th graders carrying children for their "older" boyfriends who are off at college partying with other girls and getting their degrees or just flat out gone.

Nope, age tis but a number. That's what I always say.

Yeah, that's very strange. Seniors are VERY different than freshman, and even if they "truly love each other", it's still going to be seen as "nasty" to other students.

no!.. as long as hes normal..i mean look at hue hefner.. bad example... well look at the stars with like 20 years inbetween them

I guess dating is a performing art nowadays.
"Wrong"? not morally. Unusual? Yes. The freshman (esp if -man rather than -woman) would have to be extremely mature, or the senior extremely immature, for there to be a natural attraction...consider that one is 28% older (4 years is NOTHING when you're 50). In some cultures (not mainstream Western) older man/younger woman is expected, but then the older man would be a MAN, not a student.

Now, if the frosh is a girl, Daddy might object, esp. if he thinks that "go out" means "go into" for the older guy (and face it, it usually does). Note also that in the US in most states 18 or over with younger gets you branded for life as a sex offender and people will think you're a child molester, even if it was consensual. My practical advice would be to leave the young stuff alone, and if you're a female with an older guy, don't trust him. If you're a male with an older female, well, you've got a mommy. And it's the 21st century; maybe she'll use you for fun too.

As my bestest friend says: be free, be proud, be smart.
