How do you feel about young kids (12-16) having sex?

Question

I know this is probably a touchy subject, but let's be honest about it! There are a lot of kids who have sex at young ages because maybe they think they're mentally ready, maybe they feel like they have to do it, maybe they're just convinced.

Personally, I find it a little gross and it seems dumb to me... There are a lot more things in life to worry about and focus on than sex (especially at that age!), but look at our culture and how we conduct ourselves. Sex shouldn't be a topic that makes people embarrassed, but I believe it should viewed as important to save for someone you intend to spend the rest of your life with and frankly... Most young couples don't stay together.

Answer

I only care if it's my own children. Lol

Answer

I agree with the other comment. I know a lot of young kids are sexually active nowadays but I'll be more concerned if it's my kids one day. I'll be encouraging them to wait because honestly it's worth the wait.

Answer

I mean it makes me uncomfortable sure but they're gonna do what they wanna do and if their minds are set on havin sex they're gonna have sex no matter what. The least we can do is make sure they're doing so safely and being smart about it. But I do think most of the young people having sex at those ages do it out of peer pressure? Maybe not tho who knows. All I know is that when I had sex at 16, I regretted it so so bad. So I try to keep other people from feeling the same way but there's only so much you can do.

Answer

I'm in this age group and, personally, I find it stupid. I wear a purity ring as a reminder because we may love purple but we're young and fall in and out of love all the time

Answer

If the kids MENTAL age is bigger than their physical, and they're smart enough to use protection, then they can go at it.
