Children always talk about rights but seldom about the responsibility that goes with them. I have never rammed religion down my children's throat because I believe it is counter-productive to do so. But I don't believe children should have the right to vote until they are old enough to earn money that then gives them the right to voice where their taxes are going. If they are earning a real wage and working real adult-type hours earning it then they are tax-payers and should be allowed some say in how their taxes are deployed. Perhaps I'm an ultra mod grandma, but that is my view.

As for sex: that takes two people - whether a person is hetro-sexual, gay, lesbian, bi-sexual...to truly find out sexual preference you have to be legally of an age to be deemed ready to take that step. There is a point at which children want to try things out and break free from, what they see as, constraints upon their rights to choose. "If it feels right, then don't think twice" - is that an attitude to be encouraged? I don't believe so: there are always those who will take advantage of others and many sexually abused children have a problem with their sexuality, especially when the abuse has been at the hands of a same-sex offender.

It is interesting to note that this 15 year-old has had his pages deleted by what he calls a "puritanical and conservative server".
