The Stupidity Of Society

So lets get this right if your under 18 you not old enough to consent to an abortion but you are old enough to have a baby .
If your under18 you cant have sex with anyone over 18 but you can with someone of 18,17,or16 .
At 19 you can with anyone of any age . So in one day you go from one group to another and makes you all of a sudden overnight you suddenly are mature enough .
At 17 you can drive a car but cant drink or smoke , but the day you turn 18 suddenly that all changes and your suddenly mature enough to drink and smoke .
At 16 your old enough and mature enough to join the army and handle a gun but not old enough to drink or smoke .
Am I the only one who thinks this is all completely skewed and the rule book needs torn up and commonsense take over and rewrite the rule book .
When is commonsense going to make a comeback and the madness stop .

As far as I know, you can have sex with people of any age if you're 16+.

@SW-User No if your 16 then you cant have sex with anyone over 18 . But you can still get pregnant from anyone 18 or under as most boys are fertile at about 13/14.

@SW-User different with each state here. I don't think any are below 16 but that's all fairly recent

@SW-User Its bloody crazy lets just call it 18 and let kids be kids till 18 . No drinking , no smoking , no driving cars etc till 18.

@Rhode57 In the U.K, which is where we both are, you can have sex with a 16 year old as long as you aren't "in a position of trust". This means that most adults can have sex with someone aged 16-17.

@SW-User I know but then we tell them they cant drink or smoke till 18 and cant drive till 17 and a half . All I am saying is simplify it for all and make it either 16 or 17 or 18 . One age for everything .
