I'm creating a page for my site on the ages of consent around the world. Thought you guys might be interested in my research.

South Carolina - 14
California - 18 (huh?)

Canada seems to be the lowest, at 12 but it's illegal if the other person is over 14.

Ours is 16, do you think that's about right or do you think it should be lower or higher?

16 is about right.

Mexico is a strange place... referred to as "God's Blind Spot" in some cartoon. American Dad I think. Thus, the age there isn't specified.

Yeah, 16 is fine.

Apparently the youngest mother (on record I suppose I should say) to give birth was 5 years, 7 months and 21 days old. Lina Medina, I'd post a link but on Wikipedia the page has a naked picture of her during her pregnancy.

12 is too young, anyone can see that, like Borat said, its too much responsability, for a 12 year old!

Also, sleeping around at a young age could cause an earlier death, since there is so many STDs going around in the world today...

It's not about nature though is it ... if you're having a kid and you're still a kid yourself, then something's not right. To me anyway. I can't imagine a 12 year old is mature enough to deal with the stress and responsibilites of being a mother. Of course, that won't always be the case, some 12 year olds are far more mature than others, and the very act of giving birth to a child may mean the mother 'grows up' more quickly than usual.

Still, it's such a bad idea, surely anyone can see that ... I'm damn sure I wouldn't want a daughter of mine sleeping with lads at 12 ...

I think 16 is about right, if not then 18, wouldn't really go any higher then that tho'. Old enough to choose what you do...
