Does GT take place 5 or 10 years after Z?

People start hitting puberty anywhere from 7 to 13, usually. And it's not a requirement in the least. Plenty of people have an interest in boys/girls long before that. I never had the 'ew, girl cooties!' phase. I've thought girls were cute since pre-school.

I'm with Xyex on this one. I had my first TWO crushes when I was four. And most kids I knew started experimenting sexually around grade 5 or 6, with an occasional pregnancy scare by grades 7 and 8. I even knew someone who went to a school where 2nd base activity started as far back as grade 4.

The world ain't anywhere even near as conservative and "traditional" as a lot of people like to think and say it is.

Exactly.

I've told this story a few times in chat but I'll tell it here since it's relavent. My parents have told me about this a few times. We were at the mall one day when I was, at most, 3 years old. And, for whatever reason, I left my parents, ran across the hall, and kissed some random girl I'd never met.

I vaguely remember my first crush was when I was in pre-school. I was 3 then, too. I also remember liking two or three girls in 1st through 3rd grades, and then another girl in 4th, and 2 or 3 others from 5th until 7th.

in some cases when you meet the girl of your life you are suddenly forced to get married with that girl by your friends, I mean friends that are also friends with the girl, in my case only one (oops! busted!) but that is just my story and did I tell you that I'm 16?
