Point being I doubt he's suffering from the traumtic shock, and suffering a great deal with the authorities parading him around and screaming to everyone in the world who will listen "this kid had sex with his teacher". Humiliating him into doing what they want him to, witch is testify against his teacher.
Lets reassess, who are the bad guys in this situation again?
That's one thing that Joss got right...
CORDELIA: Well, does looking at guns make you wanna have sex?
XANDER: I'm seventeen. Looking at linoleum makes me wanna have sex.

That says it all, I think.
Exactly, thats it damit. That part of life between ages 16 and 18 not just confusing for the teens but also for society, witch doesn't know what to do with. Not that I'm saying that there ready for "adult hood" at 16 but there is a large differance in how quikely all these kids mature. Some are lagging badly, and others sprint head first.
Concervatives would like to beleave that just prettending they're all still just children, perhaps the situation and the lazyness of those charged with the responsibility of leagaly defining such things forces us to paint with a wide brush, but when something like this happends, is it not up to the initial two consenting parties to determine if it was what they wished to do. Or am I mistaken.
Nither a child nor an adult, society has judged such youths as not being able nor compitent of making these dissisions for themselves, and that rubbs me the wrong way.
At the same time society wants to hold such youths responsible for there actions against others as adults with adult punishments. Something is wrong here.
