Just out of curiosity
I never used the internet before I was eighteen, but what is the point of confirming your age on a website. When I was fourteen, all that would have done is make me go "excellent!" And confirm I was indeed over eighteen. I mean kids aren't that daft to think their parents will be informed they have clicked 'I am over eighteen.'

It's for sites to be able to say they tried to keep under 18's out.
Without actually trying to stop them.

I figured it was a sort of legal thing
but surely children can't be held responsible for where curiosity leads them? I mean they're just kids. We don't trust them as individuals until they are eighteen to vote (yet oddly allow them 'to be adults' at sixteen and shag each other senseless; and yet not apparently watch other people doing so). We live in a strange world

It doesn't place any responsibility on the children. They won't get into any more trouble than a smack round't head if their mum catches them.
It's purely so the sites can say everyone who entered declared they were over 18.

Frankly, if you're a horny teenager who can't figure out how to access porn you don't deserve to.

I grew up in an age where you had to find porn in carrier bags in the middle of a patch of nettles in the woods...

At age 15 I still had no idea what a virgina actually looked like...
Due to the fact that the women in 70's porn mags didn't shave... so all you saw was open legs and lots of hair...

It's a weird paradox isn't it?
They have to confirm they aren't mature enough to handle the content one *click* ahead?
