I think I mentioned this to a mod at some point - but the virtually all of "Pendant Changes" happens (IIRC) in a high school environment.

And it's a good, well written story that goes through High School relationships, all the molehills and mountains of puberty - couldn't be written in any other life period and be anything like the story it is. There are good, legitimate reasons for being concerned about the ages of fictional characters, but it may be worth remembering that there are also good legitimate reasons for fictional characters to be of certain ages as well.
