Or how about the marriageable age? In Canada, it's 18, or 16 with parental consent, or 14 with Judicial consent.
Face it, age of consent is a difficult topic, even if it doesn't involve sex. The age has changed frequently, and will change again.

Or military, you can join the reserves @ 16 or regs at 17 (both need parental consent)....
