As an old guy I can say this is true. It was no big deal back then as people matured more quickly. My wife was already raising her younger brothers by that age. Cooking dinners, cleaning the barns, looking after things for a week while they traveled. People now don’t seem to mature until they are in their twenties. If ever.
Myself and many others were doing those things when we were 14 too. It doesn’t mean we should have been fucking grown adults. Those adults would have been taking advantage of us. It was the same back in your day. The dudes getting with teenagers by buying them alcohol and cigarettes were creeps. Regardless of how “accepted” it was back then.
Look at all the famous groupies back then. Look at the commercials with Brooke Shields. Nobody got upset. Great Granny got married even earlier. Times do indeed change
There was quite a lot of pearl-clutching over Brooke Shields at the time.
One of my grannies got married at 16. She was a miserable woman who hated every day she was alive, yet lived into her 80s. Conclude what you like from that anecdote: I have no idea if she was like that due to early marriage, or if she had other reasons to be hateful and bitter.

I have no idea if you’re trolling but god I hope you are

The problem with your previous comment is not about you stating it happened, it’s the justification you came up with.
