Children 5 years or older should be allowed to consent to sexual activity

Your claim is "Children 5 years or older should be allowed to consent to sexual activity" Then you You said " rape of children would be illegal too. So if force is used against the child, then it would be illegal" So I will not Confuse you Advocating Child Rape. You then went onto say "I believe that specifically for this aspect, the burden of proof lies with con to show how rights are violated when a child participates in sexual activity" in which I will do My Best to assure proof of Child Rights violations in Sexual Activity. You go to say how a child of 5 is no less Experienced at sex then a teenager of 16, Then your point you say that since children are Physically Unable to bear a child, It wouldn't matter about Pregnancy. Your point leads to the fact that you would be willing to make Unprotected sex Illegal due to the Fact that STDs do Exist and then you would teach about these Diseases to the children, and your Final point is since Children would be able to have sex, They also would be able to be tried as Adults if they are capable of Understanding the Severity of the crime they Committed, As well as Saying no Psychological Damage Comes from a child having Sex. I only pointed out your Debate round simply to show I did fully Understand and read what you said. Since Rape in General is a Horrible thing and Since you did not Advocate Child Rape, I will move on to the next Paragraph in your Debate Round, Which is "I believe that specifically for this aspect, the burden of proof lies with con to show how rights are violated when a child participates in sexual activity". I will now state my Reasoning for against the claim, Now as Children grow up, They tend to Feel deeply about things However they do feel a Regret about various things like Friends, To not taking School seriously, To not going out to a party and even to a Study conducted that showed one third of Women later regret losing their virginity while Underage (Although Studies Very from Person to Place so Statistics could be Higher or Lower) Which is an example of How children often Regret things they do. I believe Safety rights of Children also come into play, A grown adult would put Tremendous Weight on a child or Strain on a Childs Vaginal and or Anal Canal, Which is Another reason why it Violates Children rights. You said Children are no Less Experienced at sex than a 16 Year old is, However that is false since Teens Learned about Sexual Education from their parents or School by the time they enter 7th Grade, Reason why teens learn it at that age is because Hormonal changes start occurring so, Children wonder what exactly is happening. There is no reason for Children to Learn about Sexual Education/Sexual Diseases at an Early age Considering children of any age are often Immature so they are likely to be Disgusted by the talk of Sex or Laughing at it while not taking it Seriously. Since you said, You are willing to have Unprotected Sex set as illegal, I find no reason to Say my reasoning for that point. And finally To your claim that Children would be able to be tried as a adults because they would be able to have Sex. If Children were tried as Adults for every single bad thing they do, The jails would be full of Children and as well, Jail is no place for a Learning Environment for children. Laws are set in place for those who fully can decide for their own and as well, Understand the Consequences for crimes. Children however are unaware how everything's works, Ranging from the concept of Money, To How Business's are Built, and as well as other things. Reason why Children are not allowed with Sexual Activity is because they are still developing Both Physically and Mentally, They Make mistakes as well are still learning. Childhood is meant for them to Discover world and create a Character of their own that will be used in Society. They have no desire for Sex because Hormones are not set in.
