The age of consent should be lowered to 13.

It's stupid and pointless to lock someone up because they had sex with a teenager. It's stupid, teens have sex with teens and adults have sex with adults, so why can't adults have sex with teens? Hell I have several friends who could go to prison for having sex with their 13-17 year old girlfriends, just because they are 18-21 years old. Hell right now I'm interested in a woman who is 17, but we wouldn't legally be able to have sex because I'm 18. My last girlfriend was 13 years old, and that was when I was 18 also. It's just a really stupid rule. There are people who have gone to prison and are registered sex offenders because they had sex with the person who is currently their wife, but they weren't when they had sex. Technically it's not pedophilia if they are 13 or older, so it has nothing to do with pedophilia. In some US states you can get married at 13. It's just a pointless law that puts good people behind bars. Who else would like the age of consent to be lowered to 13?

Yeah no. 15, maybe. 13? HELL no.

Too young and stupid to being making such big decisions. And in most occasions the decisions would be hormone driven and turn out really bad. Sorry, just how it is.

Maybe lowered to 16? Maybe moreso to 17.

I mean, 15, sure I agree with that. 13, you're still basically a child, your body hasn't even developed yet. But if you really want to have sex at 13, go for it.Nobody needs to know. o.o

basically when you 18 your still a teen.... where i live the only way they gonna lock you up is unless the person file for rape.. other than that noone really cares... i kinda like that in a way but dislike it... because alot of young girls are having babies for much older guys and most of them are on warrant

Here, if a cop/teacher/etc sees that you have odd verbage in your texts, or nudity in your pictures, and your under 18.. you become a registered sex offender and face criminal charges. Which i completely disagree with, but anywayy.
