Okay, er...
I don't know, it just seems weird to me. I think 18 should be the legal age, just because it seems you are able to make the decision best from then on out.
Maybe I'm wrong.
The age of consent is a general age that they
hope you are mature enough to make mature decisions regarding relationships and loveuality. A mass amount of people are not mature enough and a large part of them never will be. These are people who find themselves in abusive relationships (or are abusive in theirs), create unwanted pregnancies, and spread STDs.
Because I'm young.
It'll shape up when I fully know what I'm talking about.
I'm the same age as you.
