lol

British r lol

we are

The age of consent here was 14 until 2008.

Your brain doesn't fully develop until you are 24, you cant drink and smoke until you are 21 now, why in the ass balls would you think a child at ten years old could understand the pros and cons of sexual relationships

Over here you finish school at 16 and go to college/ work
16 to smoke 18 to buy smokes
16 to fuck 18 to film it
16 to drink but 18 to buy it

Lol.

fucking hell.

14 to steal a car, but 16 to buy one.

lmao

everyone here fucks at 14 anyway which is why teenage pregnancy is the uk's biggest export

been in decline tho thankfully

Well. That doesn't happen too often here.

At least, I've never had a classmate who was pregnant.

Or even heard of one in the entire district.

uhh let's see, by the time i left school with my gcse's about 15% of the girls i knew there had to leave school to study at home because of pregnancy

that's just an estimation tho, it was quite a few girls nonetheless

This time next year, all high schools in the UK will have free daycares.

our colleges have daycares lmao

not even joking

That's more understandable.

you basically donate your child to the childcare classes while you do your shit

You can go to college at any age.

it's 16 here minimum

but college is also free

I'm like, bro. You're 60. By the time you finish your degree, you'll have one year of work before they force you to retire.

Obvs ten year olds shouldn't be having sex. Sixteen year olds, some realistically are, but it should be with other sixteen year olds/close to their age. It shouldn't give adults a free pass to prey on teens. So many people seem to conveniently ignore the manipulation and position of power that would occur between a twenty seven year old and a sixteen year old.

our 16 is your 18 tho at the same time

You're missing the point

Legal consent here is also 16

I see your point, it's just here 16 is a fully grown adults

you can even get trialed as an adult

it's dumb

But it's not. Like you can argue legal but biologically you arent
