In the UK i think you can get done for rape or something.... BUT if two people underage consent to it then i dont think its a crime (or it is and they just dont bother with it)

i guess, if i've sex with a girl my age it isn't a crime. It a other if the girl is about two years were younger or so. Luckily, I'm not interested in younger girls.

I don't think they do anything to someone our age.

So long as you're both underage, they won't do much, if anything at all. Maybe get a stern look from your mom and a high-five from your dad :D

It is extremely unlikely that anything will happen to you. Age of consent laws really exist to protect children from being sexually manipulated/abused by adults.

Since you are both young nothing can happen to you unless she is a crazy bitch and goes to tell the police

In the Uk it is classed as statutory rape, even if two under age partners give consent. A statutory rape conviction can be anything from life or to 5 years it would depend on the circumstances.
The reason why most people don't get charged is because it does happen regularly and it cant really be controlled. An example of something else like this is pornography it is illegal to view it under the age of 18 but as it happens all the time the law cannot really be enforced. Pretty much all youths have viewed porn either voluntary ( searching for it yourself) or involuntary ( finding out about it as an accident). Anyway back to your question.
Additionally, it isn't really in the public view for two under aged people to get convicted for having a bit of fun. Unlike as if it was for instance a 14 year old girl and a 25 year old man. The 25 year old man would be definitely at a higher chance of getting convicted.

there are a lot of factors which can go into this. here in the US, depending on the circumstances, you might spend some time in jail in addition to having to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life. then again if both are underage... I don't know. like I said a lot can go into this.

All I know at 14, I was just thinking how lucky I was to be having sex with a 16 year old haha

I'm not sure about places besides the US, but in the US there are basically two age limits that matter. One is usually about 12 or 13 and no one under that age is legally allowed to have sex regardless of the age of the other person. Automatically statutory rape.

The other changes depending on the state, but is usually 16-18. This is the "age of consent" and at this age a person may legally have sex with someone else older than them (so in some states a 16 year old may legally have sex with a 25 year old for example). In the ages between the auto illegal and the age of consent there is usually an age difference rule (2-4 years) where you may have sex with someone within that age bracket (so a 13 year old could have sex with someone within four years older than them). As I said, different states have different rules and age groups and whatever, so knowing your state is a good idea.

As for punishment, you have to be caught and the cops aren't going around looking for kids to throw in jail. also, if you're under 18 you're more likely than not going to be tried as a kid, which means you're not going to jail, probably not even juvie unless it happens a lot.

I don't think anything would/could actually happen unless one of the kids parents flips out and decides to press charges of statutory rape.
