Kevin, Please don't be naive. Increasing the age of consent will do nothing, zilch, nada to change young Bahamians promiscuity. Better sex education, access to birth control, planned parenthood type facilities, and above all else, better parenting standards are more likely to have a positive effect.
Since time began, young 'uns (including myself), have always been intrigued by the forbidden taboo of sex, and most have 'experimented' well before the legal age of consent. Even now, in some cultures, girls as young as 13 are allowed to marry and start having babies, based on them reaching the age where their bodies can biologically produce offspring. Heck, it wasn't that long ago when you could get married as young as 10 in some US States.
I agree that young girls (and boys, if they bothered to stick around) are too immature to understand the sacrifices and financial burdens of having a child. Many of these girls think that having a baby so young is what they are supposed to do, rather than getting themselves a good education. Unfortunately in most cases the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and they are just repeating what their own mother did.
Is it my imagination that many of these reports about the shooting deaths of these young men, seem to have the young men living with their grandparents or some other relative, or at least the articles in The Tribune include comments from grandparents or other relatives. Where are the parents of these young men?
Hustler and Penthouse were so 40 years ago Kevin. Based on my experience, I think most of their readers were adolescent teenage boys, not porn addicts.
1/3 of how many deaths? And, how many fully vaccinated people didn't get the delta variant of COVID or didn't die from it. Please complete the whole story. Figures can be very misleading. If only 3 people died, then only 1 of them would have been fully vaccinated.

Only 8% of UK Delta variant cases were in fully vaccinated people. This was for the period Feb - June 2021. Stop with your misleading information.
