"I don't think they would have that kind of common knowledge. If they don't, then children up to the age of 13 really don't either." -Kumori
"Not true. I knew by the time I was 13." -Me
Kumori made a general statement, and I pointed out that it was not true in my case. Imo, if I managed to find this stuff out before 13, I don't see why anyone else couldn't either. I suppose this could be interpreted that they *would* have this knowledge, but this is not what I meant. I mean that they *could* have this knowledge.
If I walk up and touch a red-hot burner because I didn't know any better, but didn't take the time to learn not to beforehand either, and I get burned, that's my fault. You might see this as a harsh view of things, but oh well, I'd say 'too bad.'
Many people do things that are against the law without knowing it, but this doesn't mean they should be immune to the said law, nor does the fact that people who might not know their actions will lead them to becoming pregnant make them not at fault for becoming pregnant. Ignorance is no excuse - it is your responsibility to care for yourself and educate yourself.
