Ya, you're right about the brain development; I was wrong.
Consent laws are there to protect the children from the adults--who could easily use their matured cognitive abilities (decision making, impulse control, etc.) to their advantage over a minor to gain a sexual relationship. I don't know if the laws are in place to prevent teens from having sex with other teens.
Is it normal to think Age of Consent laws should be abolished?
