so i just saw another thread about age gaps and i was wondering, if two teenagers did something sexual together, not sex just something sexual, and one was under the age of consent and the other was over, would it be illegal considering their both minors?

Yes that is illegal both need to be over the age of consent.

depending what is classed as “sexual” yes that could happen. If you’re under the age of 18 I would advice you or anyone else to date within their age.

The age of consent is for any form of sexual activity, so yes it's illegal. However, there is Home Office guidance on how to handle cases involving minors.
