Some states it’s 16 others it’s 17 or 18 but what does the law age of consent means?

You can:


1.  Vote
2.  Join the military
3.  Register with the selective service

generally, nothing.  Their sexual partner can not be charged afterward with sexual crime just for being consensually sexual active -- usually no big deal and there are plenty of predators who groom underage girls [and guys, i suppose] for exactly this opportunity.

They reach they age of consent in their state, and they can consent to sexual activity.

They get to have sex with adults. Vice versa.

They get a little certificate in the mail and a card to carry in their wallet that says “I’m legal”.
