A very serious issue...

Ok, so today I have a very serious issue to discuss: it is way too hard to tell the age of people. Have you ever been at a high school dance, mall, store, etc. and wondered "how old is he/she?"  It especially gets more difficult to as you get older with all of the laws on harassment and such.  You want to talk to that person but you don't want to be a creepy or viewed as a molester or worse. So there is the problem.  Solution? Yes.
I have discussed this issue with many people before and we have come to the conclusion that if you are under 18, you should have to wear a tag on your forehead or shirt clearly stating or age.  Or maybe just have it stamped on there.  It would make things sooo much easier in so many aspects.  Also, it would help prosecutors because people would no longer have the excuse "I thought she was 18."  If they lie about their age, they get punished. Simple as that.  It would clear things up.  Good idea? I thought so.
