News to me, honey.
Nobody here bar a tiny handful of nutters wants to reduce the age of consent from 16.
Age of Consent should be Equal to age of first drivers license / alcohol/smoking. It should be a rite of passage to adult hood. Personally I think all of the consent legal etc ages should be 18 with conditions.
You graduate from High school, you are an adult. Either that or make the legal ages be Graduation day from high school if you are already 18 or your 18th birthday if you have already graduated. If they fail to graduate they have to wait till they are 20 or 21 years of age.
Give kids an incentive to at least Graduate!
