When a person turns 18, they are legally considered an adult and have complete autonomy over their body and how they choose to use it in the United States. The age of consent varies according to state law, but no matter where you live, youâre an adult at 18. Even though the thought of a teenager becoming an adult overnight may make some parents grimace, growing up is a part of life. But how old is too old to date a teenager, even if theyâre of legal age to consent?
A teenage influencer who posts as @PrettyLuhThangg_, on TikTok brought a family feud about her boyfriend to the attention of her 1 million followers, and people have big thoughts. According to the 18-year-old original poster, her mother, who posts as @inspiredbythe1, refused to attend her high school graduation. OP claims itâs because her mom has beef with her 31-year-old boyfriend who planned to attend.

âShe ainât never met him, yâall,â OP said. âShe ainât never met him. She never spoke to this boy. Nothing.â
As OP continued, she explained that her relationship issues with her mother stems from even deeper wounds. OP allegedly wound up in foster care for two years, and she claims her mother never checked up on her.
âPlease donât play with me,â OP said. âYouâre weird. I promise yâall, Iâm done. That was it for me.â
OP turned off comments on several of her videos. She left them turned on for TikToks from the graduation ceremony, and people had mixed feelings.
Some thought that OPâs mom disrespected her.
âHer mom didnât even have to stay around for long she couldâve came showed face to her daughter said congratulations gave her a lil card or something and left right after itâs just the fact that she didnât show up at all thats not sitting right with me lol,â one person shared.
Another person agreed and would never have missed a graduation.
âHer mom should have still came to her graduation despite him being there or his age & yall missing that ! her mom not showing up said a lot ! then tried to blame a man for not coming like huh ? handle that after,â the person wrote.
Others understood OPâs mom’s perspective and could see why she was uncomfortable with the relationship.
âU gotta point but again nb wants to see they child be groomed yall gotta see where she coming from, â one TikToker commented.
Another person thought OPâs mom could have taken the matter into her own hands.
âHer mom should have had him locked up. He would be watching the other inmates play basketball,â the commenter suggested.
OP has now graduated and is moving on with her life. Her boyfriend and grandmother attended the ceremony, which she says helped heal her heart.
