Age of consent in states WAYYYYYYYYY to high?
Emily W asked:
Except for a few states in the US, where the age of consent is 14, most states have it at 16-18. This, I personally think is too high.
Most European countries and Canada have an age of consent of 14
Spain at 13
Mexico 12
I think that we should lower the age of consent in EVERY states, OK not to 12, but maybe, to like, 14.
A 14 year old is NO LONGER a child from a biological point of view, but a YOUNG ADULT, and most 14 year olds ARE MATURE ENOUGH to be able to handle the emotional consequences of ***.
How should I go about on putting pressure to craft legislation that will change this ridiculously law and put the age of consent to 14???
Any suggestions???

I am a law student
Before we do that we need to reform the *** education system to NOT abstinence only education and then maybe you can work on that stuff…
