The age of consent is to prevent pedophiles not to prevent young people having sex. -

I was playing out, climbing trees and playing football at the age of 13, not going at it like rabbits. Talk about the early sexualisation of society.
Whether they get the pill is a hard one though. I don't know whether it will help deter under age sex if it's not available, or whether we'll just end up with loads of pregnant 13 year olds. -
Re: Should 13 year old girls be able to get the pill?So you're happy to demand something be done, yet you have no solutions or ideas on how to solve this issue? If you really care so much about this issue then you should do something about it. Propose some ideas to your MP or something.(Original post by Hopple)
