ok. ive decided that i thnk there shouldn't be an age at all.
Reasons why:
- not everyone is ready for it at the same time, and since everyone grows and matures at different ages, i dont see how one specific age can be pinpointed for everyone. As i said before there are 30 year olds who are not mature and responsible enough to have sex.
-giving a specific age may cause some children to compare themselves to that age. as if one they become that age, or by that age the must have sex, otherwise they're not cool enough etc.
-also, fallowing the above, giving them an age may make them think that after that age, that it is no big deal to have sex, and they can do it with anyone just becuase they are old enough.
- last but definately not least, it would abolish the statutroy rape laws. I think these are terrible laws that dont serve any real purpse. it has simply to do with age, and not rape at all. and most of the time is used by girls who get pissed off at their older boyfriends for cheating etc. and want to be a bitch about it.
