does anyone think that the age that someone can have sex (16) should be raised or lowered ?
or doesn't it matter as people will have sex when they want to ?
It dont matter what the age of consent is, if she decides she wants to.
There is an age at which society must decide that it is wrong for an Adult Guy to take advantage of her immaturity and raging hormones. (and vise versa)
I think that age is dependant as much upon the system of education, parental control and culture as anything.
In the UK the decision was taken at some point to "Break children in" so to speak, to adulthood, rather than one day a "Child" and the next an "Adult"... so there are 2 years to adjust to some "rights" before the rest take affect.
As you can legally Marry at 16 in the UK, it makes sense that one of the "rights" that you receive at that age is legal sex. As you can get a flat and move out of your parents, they would have little control anyway...
Other countries its different; on your 18th Birthday everything changes (as an example).
As they are gonna anyway...you might as well leave it at what it is... [/b][/quote]
