 It is not completely about age. It is true when people say "age is just a number" but it is what most people use to measure the maturity of someone. Personally I fail to see the problem with a 16 year old dating a 17 year old if they are both mature and they are both absolutely sure that they know what they are doing but, this is almost never the case. Most teenagers are too infatuated with the thought of sex that they do not realize that a real relationship is about so much more. That is why people doubt when someone of the age of 15 is dating someone of 14 or 16. When you reach 18, people are more accepting because they think that you are ready, you are more mature and you are almost finished with your growth. When you reach 40, no one will ever doubt you because people assume that you are already as mature as you can get. People who KNOW you to be mature are less likely to doubt you.
It is alright to have a relationship, everyone is just worried about young teenagers having sex when they are so unprepared for it.
I hope that helps.
