There are legitimate academic reasons why some disciplines require more than 60 credits for an associate degree. For example, faculty members and college leaders at some institutions make a case for why 60 credits are not enough for nursing and engineering programs.
The average age when people (girls and guys) start having intercourse is about 17. Only about half of high school students have ever had intercourse, and even once they start having it, most teens donât have it frequently. Choosing to have sex is a big decision. Itâs important to wait until youâre ready to have sex.
Some states, such as California and New York, set an age at which all sexual intercourse is considered statutory rape. For example, a state might set the age of consent at 18. In this hypothetical state, two seventeen year olds who had consensual sex could both theoretically be convicted of statutory rape.
