13 is a baby--I don't care how physically developed she is.
But do we have a double standard here? Someone I know was taken to a brothel by his uncle on his thirteenth birthday. Okay, this was in Vienna, and it was a long time ago, but he didn't seem to have suffered any horrific emotional damage as a result. (Though at the time he was terribly embarrassed, but said the whore was kind.)
Yes, there's the case of the schoolteacher and her 14 year old boyfriend. She went to jail, but it seems the kid's parents aren't all that upset, and are in fact raising the child of this rather weird union.
Why SHOULD we worry more about girls, as long as we make sure they use protection? After all, they're usually more mature than guys are, by a longshot.
