Every country in the world has its own law on the age of sexual consent, which prohibits engaging in any sexual relations with a person under a certain age. Violation of the ban is punishable - the degree of punishment differs depending on the legislation of a particular country. The age of sexual consent should also not be confused with the age of majority or marriageable age.
Features of Japanese schools
The uniqueness of Japanese schools is that the composition of the class changes annually, which allows students to develop communication skills and provides the opportunity to establish friendly relations with a large number of peers. Teachers in Japanese schools also change every year. Class sizes in Japanese schools are large, ranging from 30 to 40 students.
The academic year in Japanese schools begins on April 1, it consists of three trimesters, which are separated from each other by holidays. In spring and winter, schoolchildren rest for ten days; the summer vacation period is 40 days. The school week lasts from Monday to Friday, some schools have classes on Saturday, with schoolchildren resting every second Saturday.
Lessons in Japanese schools last for 50 minutes, for kids the lesson lasts 45 minutes, then there is a short break. The daily learning process for a Japanese schoolchild ends at 3 pm. In the elementary grades, Japanese language, social studies, science, mathematics, music, fine arts, physical education, and housekeeping are taught. Primary school students are not given homework and do not take exams.
Facts about Japan
Did you know that the Japanese language has several levels of politeness or that there are special cars for women on the subway?
In this photo report, the girl will tell interesting facts about Japan. In all northern cities of Japan, where snow falls in winter, sidewalks and streets are heated. There is no ice, and there is no need to remove snow. Very comfortably! However, in Japan there is no central heating. Everyone heats the apartment as best they can: with oil heaters, kerosene and gas stoves. It's winter in Japan now, so we haven't experienced the miracle sidewalks ourselves, but we desperately trust the locals =)
...which doesn't stop them from making money from it. In Japan, they generally know how to make money out of nothing. Here fashion for anything quickly appears and passes. For example, for a chameleon or a panda, then all things with their image are sold once. Or bean isoflavones. The boom usually lasts no longer than a year, cannot be explained and is difficult to remember after 3 years, but enormous money is made.
This guy, for example, advertises...popcorn. Recently there was a TV commercial advertising this popcorn. So now there are gigantic queues for these popcorn shops. You are reading my post, and people are in line for popcorn.
There are no guest workers in Japan. This is achieved by a simple law: the minimum wage at which a foreign worker is allowed to be hired in Japan is higher than the average Japanese wage. Thus, it is more profitable for an employer to hire a Japanese than a foreigner.
The age of consent in Japan is 13 years old. From this point on, the person is considered capable of giving informed consent to sex with another person.
Japanese subways and trains have women-only carriages. They are added in the mornings so that during rush hour no one harasses the girls. The Japanese are voyeurs, and groping girls on crowded trains is something of a national sport.
I experienced this myself, comrades! Just not on the subway. I was pinched on the butt by this giant marshmallow - a life-size doll in the mall. Why am I being modest? She walked her marshmallow paw really hard across my butt.
At the same time, Japan has one of the lowest rape rates in the world. Five times less than in Russia.
Instead of a signature, in Japan they put a special personalized stamp, hanko. Every Japanese has such a seal, and it is used many, many times a day. You can also buy it in any store. It looks like this.
Go ahead
And this is very unusual and cool. It is believed that as long as the client pays the prescribed price for the service, he remains on an equal footing with the seller. If the buyer tries to leave extra money, he thereby depreciates the service or product provided to him, reducing equal exchange to a handout. By the way, Japan has fantastically polite service; after the local service, all service personnel anywhere in the world seem rude.
The Japanese language has several levels of politeness: colloquial, respectful, polite, and very polite. Almost any conversation begins with the words “Sumimasen” - Sorry, or “Arigato gaizamas” - “Respectful thanks” - well, as if in advance, for the fact that they will waste their time on you. When I spoke some common phrases or words in Japanese, the attitude towards me became even more polite.
Fuji is indeed a private property and is owned by the Shinto Great Shrine Hongu Sengen, which houses a deed of gift from the Shogun dating back to 1609. And we also saw Fuji, only in the fog. But yes, beauty.
Well, so much, it’s just such upbringing. I haven’t experienced it myself, but I read this on one of the forums: “If a Japanese went to Amsterdam, smoked there, and another Japanese saw it and reported on him, then the first one will be sent to prison.” Everything is clear, in my opinion =)
The Japanese, and especially young people, do not part with mobile phones at all. There could be 15 people standing on the platform waiting for the train, 13 of them poking at their mobile phones. I'm not lying, I thought so.
Even in cold weather, autumn, winter or spring, schoolgirls are prohibited from wearing tights, only knee socks, as required by the school uniform. Uniform skirts vary in length depending on age: the older the student, the shorter the skirt.
Men are always served first. In a restaurant, the man is the first to place an order, and the drink is brought to him first. In stores they always greet the man first.
Japanese people are very shy and easily embarrassed. The Japanese cannot say “I love you” to the face of the object of love. There are simply no such words in the language! Those who can command wild respect from others. This applies more to older generations today, but - when a Japanese man proposes, it's normal to say something like "could you make me some soup?" or “can you wash my laundry?” because otherwise they feel embarrassed.
Japan has one of the highest suicide rates in the world. It happens that suicides are committed “for company” or by decision of the head of the family. I immediately and stereotypedly remember Murakami’s “Norwegian Wood.” Yes, that's all, probably.
Japan, like the rest of the world, is full of Chinese consumer goods.
Few people know that the words “cotton wool”, “pollock” and “iashi” are borrowed from Japanese. But everyone has heard about “tsunami” and “typhoon”. Japanese also has borrowings from Russian. The words “ikura” (caviar) and “noruma” (norm). There is also a funny expression “wu people” (to the people), it came from Alexander II.
So it goes. Tired? A Japanese man invites you to smile! That's all for now, other interesting things will come later, the author went shopping

Territorial differences in the legislative aspect of sexual consent
To regulate by law the sexual lives of young people and prevent the involvement of children in prostitution, the official uniform age of consent in Japan of 13 years is overlapped by regional age limits, which differ in some prefectures, but are set below 17 years. This age limit is set in Tokyo.
Sexual contact established with a person under 17 years of age, if disclosed, is considered by the court from the point of view of both participants.
Age of sexual consent in Russia
The air defense zone is designated in Art. 134 and 135 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. In accordance with them, liability occurs only if a person who has reached the age of 18 commits actions with sexual overtones (without violence) with a person who has not reached 16. This means that according to Russian laws, VZZ begins at the age of 16. Having reached this age, a citizen has the right to give his consent to sexual intercourse or other actions of a sexual nature.
It is also worth noting that coital relations between minors are not punishable. Indeed, in accordance with the above laws, responsibility begins only at 18.
Persons who have reached the age of 14 begin to bear responsibility for violent acts of a sexual nature (rape). It is interesting that responsibility occurs regardless of the age of the victim.
As for punishment, everything is quite arbitrary. In accordance with the law, actions with sexual overtones (without violence) committed by a person over 18 with a person under the age of sexual consent are punishable by imprisonment of up to 4 years. But at the same time, a lot of factors influence the final verdict. These include the difference in age, the relationship between the object and the subject of the crime, etc.
Age of sexual consent in Europe
Since Europe includes quite a few diverse countries, the laws here are corresponding. There is no specific air defense zone on the territory of this region: it is different in each country. Thus, the lowest rate of VZV is in Spain (13 years), and the highest in Turkey and Malta (18 years). In addition, some countries have approved certain laws that allow certain types of sex, reduce SUDs under certain conditions, etc.
Age of sexual consent in the United States of America (USA)
Although the age limit in the United States depends on the region, it varies, as a rule, from 16 to 18 years. So, in the District of Columbia and 29 states, the VZS begins with 16, in other 9 territories - with 17, and in another 12 states - with 18. In addition, in many states, the cost of criminal liability is significantly reduced if the target and subject of the crime are in a legally certified marriage.
Well, perhaps, now let’s move on to specifics and consider the most interesting laws relating to air pollution control in some US states. For example, as was written above, the age of entry into custody in California is 18 years. At the same time, two minors who, by mutual consent, committed sexual acts may face criminal penalties for this.
Also quite interesting laws in the states of Colorado and Ohio. In Colorado, the age of legal participation begins at age 17, but can be reduced to 15 if the difference between partners is no more than 10 years. In Ohio, the age of sexual consent starts at 16 years old. But it can again be reduced to 13 if the partner has not reached the age of majority.
As for the punishment for non-compliance with such laws, in the USA everything is strict with this. Most states provide for serious criminal penalties. As a rule, these are long prison terms (about 10 years, depending on the conditions).
