Under-Age Sex
- Thread starter Nebulous
- Start date
As a teenager myself, I'm going to admit that when I'm in a relationship for long enough and I think that both parties are ready for it then I wouldn't say no to sex. I don't disapprove of people my age having sex IF they take a mature approach to it, realise what they're doing and all. I'm not a parent nor technically very responsible, so that's just my take. But you see a lot of 14 year old idiots who have sex and really don't know what they're doing.
sex would be acceptable for teenagers, but i fear having waaaaay more rape happening each week if teens were allowed. i'd say lower the age to 15
I think kids should enjoy being a kid. I mean you only get to be a kid for like 20 years but you get to be an adult for like 60 years. Whats the point of rushing things and missing out on the short time you have to be a kid? Adult activities should be for adults. Most people who have sex at young ages look back and regret how stupid they were being when they are older, then they figure they can do right by trying to teach their kids what is right and wrong. But teenagers are to stubborn to listen to their parents and know that they are just trying to protect them and they are speaking from experience.
Personally, I think any kid under 15 shouldn't ever have sex. But there are a lot of 12-15 year olds out there having sex nowadays. Like last year, there was this 12 year old boy who already had a kid with a 13 year old girl, now that is messed up! But I agree, they should change the legal age for sex to 16, instead of 18.

I meant in America.
i know. i was talking about britain
Really, I think that if the time is right, the time is right. Everyone bases everything off of age, and life just doesnt work that way. Such as a 14 year old who own sigle handedly, a multi million post forum. Consideration is needed.
I know a lot of teenagers that aren't responsible enough to care for a hamster--let alone the responsibility of caring for a child. And like it or not, there is always the chance of a pregnancy that can result if they have sex.
I think that if a kid thinks that he/she is adult enough to have sex, then they are adult enough to handle the consequences themselves. Be it pregnancy, or an STD/STI. You can't sit up and say that you are adult enough to have sex and then turn around and run to mommy and daddy because you caught something, you got knocked up or you knocked someone up. It doesn't work that way. If the kid was adult enough to disrespect and disobey their parents, then they should be adult enough to get a job, get their own place, and take care of themselves, and any consequence they may have as a result. Because they sure as hell weren't smart enough to stop think that their parents might have been a valid reason for telling them not to have sex.
I think having sex underage is OK as long as you and that person are ready for it. But we all know that's not the case in most underage sex schemes. Most of them are where they both can't keep their hormones in long enough to find the first person. But it all comes down to who your having sex with.
I disagree with that because I think you should have sex when you ready, not because some law tells you to.

What if an 9 year old feels they are ready? Children often THINK they are ready for things but the do not know what they are getting themsleves into. Most of the time, children need guidance and direction from their parents, loved ones, school, and/or those who have been-there/done-that as they know what they are talking about. Sad thing is, some of those who receive that guidance refuse to listen to it. Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.
I guess in a way, kids that young wouldn't be old enough to think about what they are doing, I wouldn't call it sex. I guess I did underestimate how young a child can be to have sex. My mind was in the age range of 14-17 (more or less).

You are contradicting yourself now. Before you said anyone should be able to have sex if they are ready (or think they are ready). Most 14-17 year olds are going puberty, emotions are out of wack, rebellious, irresponsible, etc etc etc.. I would know I used to be one of them. Lol... I wouldnt call them the most logical decision makers. That is why they need guidance and direction from their parents, loved ones, school, and/or those who have been-there/done-that as they know what they are talking about. Sad thing is, some of those who receive that guidance refuse to listen to it. Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. as I said above.
Well I strongly disapprove of it because it really could lead to some bad stuff that could jepardize their future. But to be honest it happens so often now and it isn't the worst thing going on in the world right now.
