Well actually even if you have sex, it depends on the state you live in if it's legal or not. 16 is the age of consent in most states, I don't know why people keep saying 18. 18 is the age of consent in only a few states, something like 5 states if that.
Most states are 16 with the the majority of the balance 17.
When I was 16 I dated 2 guys that were 19 and from experience they only wanted one thing from in the end. They both acted sweet and nice to me at first one even proposed to me to have sex. So looking back as a parent I wouldn't let my kid date a 19 year old.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
