well surely that is gonna drive more teens into underage sex as they know tht they will be breaking the law

and the teen pregancy rate in britian is already to high, the governmant are runnig a risk in making this even higher then it already is,

what does everyone think of the governmnet discussions to lowering the age of sexual constent to 14?
surely that would be encoraging teenage pregnanceys which will add to the rapidly increasing rate that britian laready possses?
surely lowering the age of consent is really pointless as children as young as 12 may start?
what do you guys all think?

uh, personnaly i voted no, its good where it is.
i THINK i would have been ready at 14, but then i matured fast. i think it would be a mistake because i know some 20 year olds who probably arent mature enough for the commitment of a sexual relqationship! 16 is a happy-medium - leave well alone!

if anything they should increase the age! there should be more sex education classes given explaining every thing about sex including what it feels like this way people will not be so desperate to try it so young if they have a rough idea of the feelings their curiousity would not be as strong!

this probs sound stupid buh i think the goverment iz makin such a big deal it's only sex everyone iz goin 2 do it no matta how old they are! By the goverment saying all this and bringing up the age for sex it's making ppl think about sex more and the more some one things about it the more they are going to want to get it done

I dont think that it will affect the teenage pregnancy count though

Yeah, the unfortunate thing is that children these days are more run by what their friends do and say and not what they think.

i agree - less of the "this goes here" more of the "be ready for the commitment and emotional considerations"

If they lower the age then they will have to bring in a stricter sex education system
