Increase the legal age of consent from 16 years old to 18 years old.
Make it illgal for teens to give consent.
When your 18 years old. You are officially an adult. You are still legally a child till you turn 18 years old. Considering how susceptible teens are to peer pressure in high school. The legal age to be in education till is 18 years old, implying a 16 years old could be in a sexual relationship with someone in their 20's. At 16 want to have fun, someone 20+ wants to settle down. You have to be 18 to watch pornography, so why is consent 16 years old. They miss out on education due to pregnancy.
