>You can talk to me about "not-fully-developed brains". all you like, but as a 16yo you certainly have the capability to make the decision to not rape/assault/etc. It can be far more innocent than that. Such as sending nudes to your SO: you are now in possession of and distributing child pornography. Something that many, if not most, sexually active millennials have done at some point in time ever since people could send each other nudes on their cell phones.

This is also something that teenagers are being made aware of at a young age. I am a millennial, and I had tons of school-hosted discussions about the legal issues re: sexting. All of my friends knew that this was illegal. And I'd actually suggest that this happens less frequently than you think.

  I'm referring more to Gen Y than Gen Z. I know "Millennials" often includes both depending on who you ask with Gen Y's typically using it to reference Gen Z's. (personal note: Gen X/Y/Z as naming scheme is silly IMO, but those are the terms) I remember no such discussion about sexting ever occurring - and I've attended more schools in more states than a typical military brat. I believe you that the current generation (referring to those who are currently 18 or younger) are educated on the subject or at least have school discussions around the subject. It's also entirely plausible I only attended prudish schools that wouldn't discuss such topics. :) Just stating that I had the complete opposite experience and in >14 different schools. E: I'm also not implying that the above accounts for most of the cases, just saying that some of the reasons for being "put on the list" are not satisfactory to my opinion and listed one such occurrence where I do not agree with it. With a few grey areas, I'm of the opinion that two consenting minors should be able to be sexual without fearing it could ruin their lives.
