Age of consent ranges from 14 to 18 in the US in addition to “Romeo & Juliet/Romeo” exception in many states’ laws to permit someone within around 3 years older than the other participant to engage in “the act” even if one or both are below age of consent.

In the US, it is illegal to give medical care to a minor without parental consent except with regards to abortion because it is politically correct.

You are not an ‘adult’ until you are 18 when you can vote etc.

But you can fight for your country, buy ciggarettes and have sex at the age of 16.

The age of consent in Britain is 16.

At 16 you can also join the armed forces(but arent allowed to serve in a conflict), police cadets,go to college (but not university), work of course,and until Oct 31st, you could smoke, but now it is 18, except in NI.Oh, and marry but only with your parents consent. Except in Scotland where consent in not needed.
