Humbert Humbert was a rapist. Lolita was only 12, he was almost 40. HH deliberately manipulated her all the way through the book. I don't care if you're 24 and your bfs 40, that's none of my concern. It's normal for kids to have crushes on their teachers and other adults, but remember that doesn't mean it's ok for those adults to sleep with them. The power difference and developmental difference is too wide!
remember this: people who are treated like Lolita was often get PTSD, depression, self harming behaviours, etc.
