16-21 for different things. 16 should be an adult in the sense of being able to own their own shit. Sex with people within their age range should be legal to prevent weird situations like teens being charged for cp because they sexted with their partners because they were both underaged (16 and 17). 18 for full sexual age of consent.
18 should be old enough to drink and drive, but not at the same time lol. Giving kids independence to get used to before letting them drink is smart. Marriage shouldn't be an option until 21 because marriage can be a trap (grew up very religious)
I agree with all of these. 16-20 should have Romeo and Juliet laws within reason, and laws against CSAM should be to protect minors from harm rather than punishing two teens the same age.
In addition, I think legal emancipation for minors should be dealt with on a case-to-case basis: for instance the minor who wants to be emancipated is regularly attending school/college and is able to support themselves in some way. Ideally it would be in conjunction with state-funded social care, free housing, medical care, etc. so kids who were kicked out for being LGBTQ+ or who left home due to abuse wouldn't end up homeless or trafficked.
