Nice lesson to take from this, especially in regard to the very conclusion.
Time to install a Sex Ed class in the School of Friendship

LOL.
A very important lesson to learn from this situation.
REALLY good job on this one-shot. The exchange, characterizations and general wrap-up are pretty well done in all the right area. Yeah, it's understandable that teenagers could get - over-affectionate - toward each other before they are ready. At the same time, they aren't necessarily life ruiners or bad people. Glad to see Starlight looking at it from both sides so well. Yeah, explaining things to the families could be rough but at least Starlight is being understanding about it.
10162051
Yeah. The trick is getting Cadance to come all the way from the Crystal Empire to teach it.
10162104
Pretty funny exchange.
Twilight: Look, my love life - or lack thereof - is none of your business. And please don't change the subject.
If only teen sex was universally handled with Starlight’s patience and professionalism. Parents need to learn to let their kids grow, with a sense of responsibility of course.
A very mature way to handle this topic, kudos to you James!
10162222
Who says they need Cadence lol? Yeah she's the Princess of Love but c'mon they could find somepony else.
I got it: A CHANGELING TEACHER!
First off, props to you for daring to even touch on this specific topic. That right there takes guts, because this is one of those topics that could backfire immensely with readers, so kudos to you for having the confidence in pulling it off.
Further, I wholeheartedly agree that Gallus and Silverstream doing this absolutely does not make them "bad" or "wrong." However, I also appreciate immensely it being clearly conveyed that them doing so was...premature for their age. That's something that is so overlooked in this day and age, and there are those who wouldn't even bat at an eye at it and be of the opinion to let what happens happen, regardless of consequence. But this isn't something to take so lightly. There's a time and a place for it, and if one's not careful, it absolutely can end badly and in heartbreak.
So while I absolutely would hope that Gallus and Silverstream would get the chance to do it again, it's something better left for later on for right now, something to build up towards when the time is right.
Hopefully what I'm trying to say is clear here.
Beautiful, it could have been so easy to have Starlight chew the two out, but no, she handled it beautifully. Very mature way of looking at things, great work!
Why is Starlight asking them about this? If they came to her for advice or help it would be one thing, but it seems really inappropriate for her to single two students out and make them tell her about their sex lives. It's not appropriate for her to make them tell their families either since it was consensual and there's nothing to report.
If she has concerns for their maturity or health then she should institute sex ed classes to address the entire student body.
A very mature handling of a very controversial subject.
SO many questions...
Does Silver have a vag or a cloaca? And does it change from one to the other when she switches to and from seapony-mode? I'm pretty sure Seaquestrians are mammalian like dolphins. For that matter, do Smolder and Ocellus have cloacas? Can Ocellus change it while maintaining her regular form?
Am I a creep for having such scientific curiosity about teenagers?
10163465
Bird front horse back, mammal crotch. Bird front, lion back, mammal crotch. Reptile, reptile junk. Changelings probably mammalian sincen they are insect like ponies rather than proper insects, and shifting while doing the deed? Probably impossible as it might harm someone to change that area so drastic!y suddenly, I think the changeling brain would reflexively disable shifting while doing it.
Not creepy if it's scientific curiosity, what you do with your curiosity determines morality.
10162925
My best guess? She heard rumours about this and wanted to get at the truth, because Silverstream is royalty (which makes it all the stranger that that little fact isn't actually mentioned in the story). She wanted to be armed with the facts in case Queen Novo came barreling down on her school because some random homeless griffin "defiled" her niece.
Alternatively, she wanted to be sure because she didn't know if this was just inappropriate or actively illegal by either side's standards. Though she could have figured that out without involving the two. But this is Starlight we're talking about, being inappropriately intrusive is both her and her teacher's thing. Remember the end of "A Royal Problem"?
10162925 I'm sure things are handled differently in other countries, but here in the UK, if something happens between youngsters on school grounds, it very much comes down to the teachers to speak to the students about it. It's especially true in places like boarding schools, where the teachers are basically secondary guardians to the kids since they don't have regular contact with their parents. The Friendship School struck me as more of a boarding school setup, so I figured that the Head-Mare (Starlight in this case) would get involved personally.
As for the point about consent, given that these characters are still seen as very young, I felt it was entirely possible that they could be seen as having been below the age of consent, or whatever the equivalent is in their world, hence why an older adult figure would need to speak to them about it.
10163972
Yeah, people in the US usually leave it alone as a privacy matter. Maybe in boarding schools it's different but I suspect no one really wants to deal with it. Our family, our problems. Not the government's. Not really sure how young you think they are. Maybe below 16-17ish might be a problem. But it's not really unexpected at or beyond that. I've heard horror stories but I had a hard time believing them. Until I saw an old rusted condom machine at a middle school [6th-8th year] once. Things certainly changed from that time but that was really something.
I guess it's still no substitute for a signed parent's permission slip to watch an 80s/90s sex ed video.
Great job here, loved every second reading this. Especially since though not a bad thing at all, actions like what's being discussed in the story can end up becoming a possible nightmare. Still, keep up the good work!!

Baring the various countries laws and mandates, age of consent is only used to separate minors and adults. It’s up to individuals to decide if they want to talk about that
Enjoy the whole thing like how they where able to talk about it like adults. As well as the mention the actions can have consequences.
But Wouldn’t want to be in Gallus when Sliverstrem tells her mom and dad.
Wholesome. I did want there to be at least the mention that while nothing ... extra, I think was the term used, happened as a result, it could have happened, and that would be life-changing - much more than what they've already done. They managed to dodge the consequences, but the reality of those consequences doesn't seem to have set in.
10171552 I'd be more worried about her aunt. Her parents might be upset, but if it were consensual they'd probably accept it depending on what a hippogriff/seapony's legal age of conset is. Novo though, she'd be furious.
I actually would like to the families reactions
Anyone who uses terms like “failures and sinners” to describe two people having consensual sex in the privacy of their own room are part of an old generation and a dying breed, and good riddance to them.
Despite the author’s note at the end, this entire story is written as if Gallus and Silverstream committed some sort of crime, as if the two had been shoplifting instead of having consensual sex. Using words like “sin” and making them feel like they “messed up” only compounds the issue. With the exception of the lack of condom usage, which I will grant is a problem, the two did nothing wrong and shouldn’t be forbidden from doing so again.
And what was all that nonsense about making them tell their families? Is that so they can be shamed into never doing it again? If the students are under Starlight’s care, then what are the families going to do that she herself hasn’t?
The story seems to be written with the intent of showing that making the mistake of having sex while young can be forgiven, but that very premise is flawed. Why does it need to be forgiven at all? If there’s nothing “sinful” about it, then it shouldn’t be any need to apologize or feel you’ve done wrong.
I don’t want this to come off as me bashing the author, because I am absolutely not. I applaud their efforts at showing how people should be more understanding, it’s just the concept itself I don’t like. The answer to teenage intercourse isn’t abstinence, shame, or punishment, it’s birth control and proper education.
There's something about that author's note, that makes me think that this is relevant to what happened to you when you were younger, and it wasn't handled well.
Right?
10316370 Thankfully, no, I never had to go through a scenario like this myself.

That's fortunate
