should teens have sex?

Question

even if they're educated and know how to use protection? and explain why in the comments.

Answer

I am a teen and I have a boyfriend that I really love and am attracted to and we have had this conversation a few times. I personally feel that sex always carries the possibility of pregnancy no matter how careful you are. I think that waiting until you can support a child and you have your life pretty well together is the best way to go just in case. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I think it should be 18+. But honestly as long as it’s consensual and you’re well educated on sex, and what can happen if you don’t use protection, then i guess go for it? I only think it should be 18+ because it’s alot easier to make mistakes when you’re like 16.

Answer

I think 16 and over. you're able to make decisions. you'll most likely make a bad one but it's just more to learn. Having safe sex is really healthy and good for your body so why not just be smart & think a little ya know.

Answer

I was a teen(15) when I had sex with my now husband. My thoughts were, even if I don't end up with him, I won't regret, because obviously I want it, so if we split up, that's ok! And here I am 12+ years later, married to the love of my life. I used protection. Never got pregnant... still haven't but now I want to 😂😂😂 TTC for 8+ years.

Answer

Im on the fence. I lost my virginity at 16, even though I was planning on waiting until I was 18. Things happen sometimes. We used protection and I got on birth control shortly after, and almost two years later I’m still with the guy, but it’s not always the same situation. Mistakes can easily be made and there are tons of girls in my high school that end up pregnant. So while I personally don’t regret losing my virginity at a young age, it could really affect young teenagers lives, and they really should be focusing on school.

Answer

they should if they know what they are doing. 16+ tho

Answer

16+ as you’re old enough to make decisions, including booking a doctors appointment to get on birth control (here in the uk at least) by yourself. I understand where people come from, but it’s up to the individual on when they believe they’re ready. Despite what the media portrays, there are many safe teenagers in healthy relationships due to their maturity towards the subject. I also believe you should have someone older to talk to about it, especially at 16+, whether its a sibling, parent or close friend, you need someone you know you can rely on if anything does go wrong.

Answer

if you try to control teens by don't have sex they just sneak around and do it any ways and not tell you

Answer

I wish I had waited until I was more emotionally equipped to deal with everything that comes with it. My first time I was 16 with another 16 yr old virgin...he dumped me the next day after six months of pursuing me, I was devastated...had I known to be weary of guys just wanting one thing I would've waited so much longer.  I was very jaded toward sex after that and put too much of my value own in my ability to provide it. It took a long time to get over the abandonment and manipulation. Starting your young adult life without those prejudices and fears is a good thing, learn to make yourself happy before others or life will be like trying to fill a sieve.

Answer

Protection still isn’t 100% safe and it’s a huge emotional decision.
