The idea of being old enough to consent is completely arbitrary. There are some 15 year olds more mentally mature then their 18 year old counterparts. On the converse side, there are people in their 20's less mature then a teenager, this site is proof of that.

The memes and jokes are all fine, but don't try to actually justify your disease.

Just was saying that someone 18 shouldn't get charged with statutory rape if they had consensual sex with a 15 year old considering there will not be that great of a deal of maturity between the two.There usually is a very large difference in mentality between a 15 and 18 year old.Eh, I disagree, but tbh I'm just using my own personal experience growing up, in which I can't really say I started acting more mature until I was 19.
