If Adam is 20, then that'd just be a 3 year difference. Opinions and values differ, but I often don't see a 3 year difference as much of a problem, except for a few circumstances, one of which being a 17-year-old male and 14-year-old female thinking about getting sexual. At that point, the girl's parents can press charges for statutory rape, y'know?

Even without them getting sexual, I find a relationship between a 14-year-old and 17-year-old kind of awkward, but if the younger person in the relationship is closer adulthood, it stops feeling so awkward to me. So, for me, with Blake being confirmed to be 17, if Adam is 20 or even 21, I think that age gap is just fine. I may be willing to even accept 22, though that's pushing it a bit.

And you can be a mentor without being older than 5 years senior to the other person.
