What do you think of the legal age if consent?

Its 16 where I live which is fine but that doesn't stop younger teens having sex. I think the age is based on whether they think teens are old enough to make a conscious decision regarding the implications of unprotected sex with another consenting adult. Ideally I think educated and sexually informed teens are better equiped to make informed decisions compared to uninformed and sexually uneducated teens of which there are a lot more. As to which age of consent is better...16 is about right but its meaningless when said 16 year old has an unplanned pregancy because they didnt know about protection or being on the pill.
