This is an assumption and a generalization which also implies the generalization that all "adults" do "know what sex is."

It's the adults decision because they are the adults.

Sounds like you're someone who thinks everyone under 16/18 is completely retarded, but once they turn 16/18, officially becoming "adults" according to the government imbues them with knowledge.

They know what intimacy is and at least have a better understanding of it. Do you think children know enough to make that decision? I think saying yes to that would be just as bad an assumption.

I think that:
1. Saying 'yes' or 'no' would be presumptuous and generalizing.
2. It's none of your business and none of my business.
