I dunno Jozrael, I kinda like the "anyone under 18 will DIE if they have sex" law because really, kids are easy to scare into submission ....
No, that came out wrong.
I'm of the opinion that many people will inherently do what is right. In this case, by heeding their parents wishes as well as following whatever education (I still think should be enforced) on the entire issue.
The reason I think to lower the age of consent would be counteractive is because it now gives children freedoms to toy around with sex. If you throw your hands up with the "they're gonna do it anyway" argument ... it defeats the purpose. As far as punishment goes ... well, it's a law. You don't break laws, period. I want the punishment to be reasonable, don't assign draconian punishments on kids who are constantly confused about their state of puberty/sexuality.
I'll try to avoid using "dude/my friends/man" in my posts, I write how I talk sometimes ...
