Just because a boy has gone through puberty and is physically ready for sex doesn’t mean he is emotionally ready, and he still hasn’t comprehended the consequences of sex.

Many 13 and 14 year olds are sexually active with their classmates. In other cultures, girls that age are married off, and those cultures are becoming more commonly seen in the West. Boys that age are watching hardcore porn. Not saying any of this should be happening, but it is. And that affects the way society views these issues.

I think fewer people see 13, 14 as children these days. Not saying it's right! But when the 14 year old "kids" are exchanging naked photos on their phones, it's hard to see them as "just kids."

Even 18 seems like an arbitrary age for official adulthood (in Japan it's 20) because the human brain isn't fully developed until 25. In the US, we have Democrats trying to lower the voting age to 16.

The topics of "who is an adult?" "what is rape?" and "men can be raped too" all need more attention. This Pornsick World seems to have people all confused.

Teenagers are definitely gonna fuck. But they should only be allowed to have sex with each other. The age of consent laws should protect them predatory adults. In my opinion, the general age of consent should be 17. If the older person is less than five years older than the younger person, then the age of consent should be 15. And if the age gap between them is less than two years, then the age of consent should be 12. The marriageable age should be 18 with no exceptions. If a teenage boy and a teenage girl have a child, they should still wait until they are 18 before they can marry.

Pornography is certainly a problem, especially for teenagers. There should be a default filter that blocks access to porn sites that is turned off only by presenting your ID to the ISP.

Yeah, in middle school we were already talking about sex, and in middle school we were watching porn. This american idea to see 14 years old as innocent kids is quite dumb. Of course it isn't acceptable for them to have sexual relationships with adults, but most of them aren't really innocent kids

They are just kids. Kids being overly sexual. That's why it's so disturbing.
