So what is England then? [2:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=132) Eighteen. Sorry? Eighteen.

[3:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=184) Please, this is very, very essential because we've had young men, you know, fall for these things that could be preventable. [3:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=194) Let's know because it's quite a bit different from Scotland and England. [3:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=200) Uh, sometime the fourteen years old, um, they do the job also by delivering the papers. [3:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=206) So sometimes fourteen. Guys, One House, One House, One House. [3:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=211) So have you checked? Did you check for that? [3:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=214) Yes. Okay. So now we have... One House, please. [3:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=218) Hey, please keep quiet. I don't want to see anybody on the TV, oh. [3:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=223) That and ignorance will not be an excuse, oh. So it's better you know. [3:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=228) The age, we've gotten seventeen, sixteen, and eighteen. [3:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=232) In England, correct, it's eighteen. England is eighteen. But in Scotland, it's sixteen. [4:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=241) So- But what's the- Sorry? [4:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=247) Sixteen years old- For what? -for consent. [4:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=251) Your age of consent. This is it. You might read that again. I beg. No, no, no, no. [4:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=256) It's sixteen years old. [4:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=260) The legal age of consent for sexual activity is sixteen in Scotland and even in England. What did I put in England? [4:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=268) Eighteen. So you are learning something new. I used to think it was eighteen, though. [4:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=271) The age applies to everyone regardless of gender, identity, or sexual orientation. [4:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=277) However, specific legal nuances and rules apply around this age limit. [4:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=285) So guys, we've got our answer. It's sixteen years old for both England and Scotland. [4:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=293) I see, I thought it was eighteen for England. [4:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=296) So we're all learning. So please, if you see a young person, ask their age. [5:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=300) In fact, ask for your ID card. Don't be deceived. [5:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=304) We have young persons growing bigger than their age. [5:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=307) In fact, fourteen years, twelve years, they're taller than myself. [5:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=310) So don't be deceived by the size. Ask questions, ask for their age before you go into any form of relationship, sexual intimacy with anybody. Whether it is a boy or a girl, it doesn't matter. [5:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=324) So we've got the answer from... Who gave us the first answer? [5:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=327) Uh, Michelle said that. No, she said eighteen. [5:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=334) All right, let's round of applause for this gentleman, please. Round of applause. [5:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/8Jnu0illY96A/en/age-of-consent-in-scotland-and-england-is-it-different?t=338) R- Guys, let's clap for him.
