i support the rise in age but the rise donot theoritical solve the problem. They will still be illegal 18s prostitutes.Hence the cause and the reason which lead these 18s into it should be dealt with first.

What is the difference between an 18 year old prostitute and 21 year old? Is it possible that there are too many dutch 18 yr. olds going into prostitution due to the world economic crisis?

J, I think there is a difference between 18 and 21 prostitute.18s can easily be a victim of peer pressure, adult pressure, trafficking, etc. 21 is little mature mentally to take recognize things easily. There is more to it than the financial part of it. I think the cultural moral foundation of human race are eroded with money. I think the youth are being woe in it that there can be a day rich but forgetting about the problems that goes with it,HIV,ect. The government should make youth education a priority no matter the person intellectual ability. Moral education should also be added into the educational system. Parents are to be blame for all these. Parents nowadays do not really care a lot about their children morality anymore. The society as whole is morally bankrupt. why should even we go for the 18s instead of encouraging them to take a profession.
