OFCOURSE it's not wrong but you just have to be aware he might have different intentions...espeacailly sexual intentions. Because your only 16 and you might not want to go there yet, you guys will be disagreeing on stuff and will probably be the result of ending the relationship. Or cause abuse against you but I think you should ask him what are his intentions because communication is really only he answer in this situation.
Sincerely,
Nobody :)

Of course its not wrong, although parents may beg to differ. Every teen goes through a phase of liking people a bit older. Sometimes it isn't just a phase and those two people may get married and start a family. So it is okay to fallow your heart, but remember...don't do anything you may regret, and be carful. If you really trust this person then you wont have a problem.

I don't think it's wrong. Obviously it's illegal but you guys are still allowed to like each other. The age difference isn't extremely different, I mean there are 80 year olds going out with 20 year olds.

It is not only wrong it is illegal if liking each other means as in dating and having sex. The 24 year old can go to jail just for dating the 16 year old. It is called statutory rape. Sex does not have to happen it is assumed because the 16 year old is minor; as legally not able to consent.
Should this couple cross a state line together then the Federal charge of violating the Mann act can be made. These charges can carry sentences of life in prison. If the 24 year old ever gets out of prison he or she will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of their lives wherever they go.
There is also something very wrong when a 24 year old is interested in someone so young. It is almost always looked at if not truly a case of pedophilia. Pedophiles pray on the young were it starts out as a friendship then things turn bad. The young person in this relationship is in grave danger but refuses to see it for various reasons. Mainly because they are enamored by the fact that someone so much older is in love with them. This is what the pedophile counts on.
If you are the 16 year old tell your parents immediately who this man is and what has been happening between you, including if he has been touching you or if you have had sex with him. This is very import to tell them as it says how much danger you are in and how they should react.
I cannot say your parents won't be angry. Though they should also be relieved you came to your senses and came to them before you were hurt. It is important regardless of what you think how your parents may react towards you that you tell them TODAY, everything. I cannot stress enough how much danger you could be in.
It is just not right for a 24 year old to be dating a 16 year old. I'm sure you watch the news or look at the paper. This is how some of the girls you may have heard about or read about get hurt It starts just this way. Your life could very well be in danger. TALK TO YOUR PARENTS TODAY.

It's illegal.
It's not that the age difference is necessarily a bad thing, it's because the 16 year old is a minor. Even if the 16 year old was involved with a 19 or 20 year old, it'd still be illegal and would still be wrong.
So before the 24 year old gets in trouble, they should stop seeing each other.
Even if nothing is going on sexually, in the law it's just assumed. So don't get involved in any way at all.

Yes
In the eyes of the law you are a minor and this person is legally adult. If this person where to have any sort of relationship with you he/she could be charged with indecency of a minor, Statutory rape, Corruption of a minor, Sexual assault and a whole load buttload of other charges.
Now to point out the obvious
You said is it okay to like "each other" meaning that this 24 year old person is showing interest in someone who is 16 years old.
Now stop and think, Do you not see anything wrong with this? A 16 year old is considered a minor and is not legally an adult no matter how mature they think they are.
So, Here is your answer, Yes it is highly inappropriate. Unless someone wants a record of being a child phedophile it must stop immediately.
