I'm doing research for school and I need to know others opinions on this.

In the UK the legal age for sex is 16, should it be lowered to 14?
-Give me reasons for your opinion.
-Give me reasons for AND against if you can.

(I'm making two of these questions, because each category will attract different people)
I asked this question a month or so ago also, but i'm reposting!

Thank you for your time.

No argument for lowering the consensual age for sex.

I think it should be raised. Sex is not just a feel good, live in the moment, activity. It is something that should be thought through carefully and planned for. Certain precautions need to be made by both the male and female. Most 16 year old's can't decide what kind of pop tart they want for breakfast, let alone who the want to create a child with. If you asked a 16 year old girl what boy they liked everyday for a week you would probably get at least 4 different answers.


I like the guys answer up there. If you can't pay for it, don't spawn it!!!
 
Definately not,I'm 14 and (almost fifteen lol) but one thing i've noticed is every one thinks "they're ready",,,they think they're ready but thwey still cry over little things.I think as the age of consent is lowered it means we should get ready to see 14 year old mothers popping out everywhere.


DO NOT FORGET ABOUT ALL THOSE DISGUSTING PEDOPHILES WHO WOULD BE GETTING AWAY FOR HAVING SEX WITH 14 YEAR OLDS,,,eughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


And children are stubborn(trust me,im one),if the legal age is lowered to 14,,,,the younger 12yr olds etc's would be considering ,thinking and having sex...Its a chain


Personally i think it should be 18 because people are more informed and physically and mentally mature and confident.At 14 it's difficult enough to deal with school,parents and stuff ,and we can't have the time and love to bring another child into the world
