Major difference being Adults are aware of their consequences of their actions. My oldest child is 13 and having never been high or seen anyone high he has no idea of the affects it has on your body and judgement. To a kid (and they are just kids) the idea of an action having an effect on the rest of your life is pretty hard to wrap your brain around.

Im not saying no child can judge between right and wrong, I am saying that you cannot expect a 13 year old to exercise the same judgement as an adult.

Girl goes out with the intention of getting high. She know beforehand exactly what this will mean in terms of her awareness of her situation. She knows beforehand that she will be amongst people she has no reason to trust. She knows beforehand exactly the sorts of things that might happen. She engages in activities that in some cases she later regrets. What is the problem here?
So by making those choices she forfeit's her rights? do the people with her not have an obligation to not rape her?
