Age of Consent

[Curtis]

I agree with the entirety of Nikka's post and nearly all of Tourguide's second post, the only exception being the distribution of condoms in school. Where I live, schools can't give out an aspirin without parental approval. The concept of free distribution is a good one, though. Maybe it could be done at the free-needle exchange? (wishful thinking)

People become 'adults' at different rates depending on the subject discussed. When I was 16 I was better equipped to vote than most forty-year-olds, but I didn't become mature enough to handle a sexual relationship until I was 28.

And, at 43, I'm still not mature enough to handle ownership of a gun.
