Ok so as much as I agree that the number of relationships involving minor females and adult males is absurd and not something to romanticize I think a petition is a bit much. But to the commenters on this OP, Aria is not 18. Ali disappears before her 16th birthday in the show, older than the books but still not an adult. A year later Aria meets Ezra and starts a relationship, that makes her 16, 17 at best. Based on shows timeline at this point she may be 18 as it's rumored they graduate soon. But still a 16 year old with 22 year old (teaching degree takes at least 4 years). Now mix in Ian (in college) with Allison/spencer (15), Garret (college graduate) with Jenna (16-17), Jason (college graduate) with Aria (16), and Wren (in late med school) with Spencer (16) there are a number of ridiculous and inappropriate age gaps. I like the show and suspend reality as most the actors are 5-10 years older than their characters but the OP still has a valid point that is black and white not grey. But it's TV, and entertainment including the books for PLL overall has a bad habit of romanizing relationships that in reality would be illegal, unhealthy, or just plain creepy and people have the choice of what they watch/read/listen too.
