i wouldn't over-analyze stuff you did when you were 16 - it's all part of growing & learning

personally, i think young people don't even begin to become human till they hit 24-25, so they shouldn't be judged too harshly (just an opinion)

predator is a strange blanket word & i really don't like it much

there are many shades gray in these situations

for example, someone may be in a hetero relationship & then fall in love with someone of the same sex & need to end the hetero relationship - what the hell is wrong with that? nothing that i can see

than again, other people may enter a relationship in a deceptive manner for strictly selfish purposes & use it as cover - that's ugly behavior imo (gay douchebags exist just as hetero ones do)

each person is a cumulation their life experiences, so rush to broad brush condemnation is a slippery slope
