That is all up to the individual person and if they are ready for that step in their life. Teenagers r going to have sex no matter what! If they really want to they will. Just take the precautions so u r safe. Condoms so u dont get pregnant and to help prevent diseases!!! Thats all a parent can ask for is for u to be safe!!! My son is 15 and I know he is still a virgin. We r very cery close and he tell me everything! Sometimes he has me blushing and speechless! lol But if you feel u are ready and you really love the guy then please use protection and do it safely! I cant really say u r too young. I was 17 also. But I had dated him for 3 LONG years and had made him wait for it! We r married still to this day!!!

I think it is wrong for you. You are having second thoughts about it because you are asking this question online.
Go with your "gut" feelings. It's like God talking to you. If it feels wrong, then it is.
You are still very young. You have your whole life ahead of you. Don't let someone pressure you into it. Think it through to the ned before doing it. Think of all the consequences and how you would handle them because they are all a very real possibility if you have sex.
You need to be having fun now not sitting around and having to worry about if you're pregnant or not or if you have a STD. No birth control is 100% safe...not even the birth control pill.
Think and ask the guy you think about having sex with these questions before doing it...if I get pregnant how will we tell my parents? How will we tell your parents? Will we keep the baby or give it up for adoption? Will he stay around to help you and the baby? Will you marry? Will you both finish school? If so and you keep the baby, who will take care of it? If you want to go out on the weekend or to prom who will take the baby? How will you support yourselves and the baby? Will your parents help out?
How about the STD questions? Have either of you ever had sex before? If so then know that you will be sleeping with everyone the one had sex with and have the possibility of getting what they had (and if those people slept with others then you're also sleeping with those people too! GROSS!). You can ask some of the same questions as above too...how would you tell your parents that you have herpes or God forbid, HIV or AIDS?
Having sex comes with a lot of responsibilties and you have to make sure you are ready to handle it all first. Don't just jump in and do it without thinking it through.
Also remember that you can always say no, even if you've had sex once or more. You do NOT have to continue to do it..even with the same partner, but why even start if you haven't done so. Not now.
Now is supposed to be the time of your life. Live it to the fullest in having fun and not having to worry about pregnancy and STD's! Go out with friends, go out in groups. Go to the movies, bowling, dances, football games. Don't be sitting around asking questions on a computer and being worried about having sex, worrying about getting pregnant or if you're pregnant, or if you have any STD's.
Don't let a guy pull the lines on you like "you will if you love me" or "if you don't then I'll find someone who will". Give it back to them. Tell those guys, "you will wait if you love me", "you won't try to force me if you love me", or then I guess you'll have to go and find someone else because I'm not going to do it" and mean it!!! These guys that tell you this only want one thing and it's not a relationship with you, it's sex and sex alone with you. They will move on soon anyway and then you're left feeling used. Not a fun feeling. Better to take the high road, feel confident in yourself and know you made the right decision. You have plenty of time for sex!
Call up some friends and head on out to the beach. Make some good memories and friends so that years from now you can sit around at their homes or a restaurant and share those memories and laugh!
You can't take yesterday back and get it over again so live today now before it's gone. Call up those friends and enjoy the summer!
Live & have fun!

No because your almost 18 and your hormones will act up for real at that age. But i can't tell you to keep on having sex if you are. But no that's not a wrong age to have sex.

Absolutely yes. Your body has to be prepared if something goes wrong and this is not the right age. Even if you are married or preparing to marry, Wait for some more time.

I was just 18 but it was with my husband, There is no magic age really just make sure that you care for the person not just do it for fun, You will not really understand this until you are older but trust me you know the saying why buy the cow if your getting the milk for free? Just keep respect for yourself, if you don't have it for yourself, others won't either
Good luck

well, i think you should wait until at least 18. Be sure to have sex with the right guy. Use protection when having sex. It helps prevent Sexually Transmitted Diseases.

no! that's the perfect age to do it. your almost an adult,mature, and plus you'll be going to college soon and they have thoes parties so no. your fine as long as you use a condom,birth control and be really safe you'll be fine. and also get tested before you do. just in case. good luck

Well, if you are in love, yes.
If you don't feel you're ready, don't do it.
At the end, you have to live with yourself for the rest of your life.
