I don't think it's a bad thing. Because even though kids are starting earlier, teen pregnancy is declining.

Emily, it is kinda bad.
For starters, those idiots don't know the meaning of a condom.
Secondly, The girls could get pregnant.
Thirdly, the guys will then go for sets and rears, not personality.
Finally, it's just, bleh.

This is NOT good. I would not expect my little sister to be having a boyfriend, let alone having sex!!!??? This is horrible. I hope your source is wrong, because this is innappropriate for such young children. 5th graders at my middle school already try to act "ghetto" and speak bad language and I am shocked since that didn't happen when I was in that grade. This is not good at all! If they are sexually active, then be worried because that will lead into teen pregnancy and children. This is definitely a bad thing. Sex should only occur after marriage!

Who has sex in 5th grade?! That's just plain scary.......
I hope that they at least ALL use proper protection.
If kids are starting earlier how would teen pregnancy be declining?
Is it because the aren't able to "make" a child?
I still think kids in 5th grade having sex is way wrong...

ARE YOU CRAZY yes it is a bad thing teen pregnancy is down but what does that have to do with fifth graders most of them aren't teens yet you normally go into 7th grade at age 12.

How can you think it's a GOOD thing? Many ADULTS that I know cannot handle the stresses of having a child. A 5th grader does not have the maturity to prevent pregnancy let alone the intimacy of sexual relations. I not only find it a BAD thing, I find it utterly DISGUSTING.

I cant believe all you dumBSh**s actually believe her I am going to ask every single 10 year old I know and ask them if they even no how to have sex and not a single one out of them will know. I expected all of you to know that this is bs. I am giving a thumbs down to every one who believed her.
Hey Kristen, teen pregnancy increasing means more TEENS are having sex it doesn't mean that the range is lower because 10 year olds have no sex drive and if they did then they still dont know how to have sex. Also Your science teacher teaches Science not SEX ED or FAMILY Life OK so you shouldn't trust him that much about that and you misinterpreted what he meant by a long shot i will prove it because I want you to ask him if what he meant was that now 1/4 10 year olds are having sex.
The girl even told me that she found this out at wikipedia which is the most untrusted site you can use for info because anybody can write information about stuff on that site so some drunk guy probably thought it was funny to write this BS on wikipedia and see who believed it and it is obviously funny because you all believed this cr*p when all you have to do is listen to family life class and you would know that this would not be possible unless the 2 little kids were forced to by some crazy guy and didn't know what was going on. I mean, Come on isn't anybody smarter than this.

That is like saying its OK to set a fire because only 25% of the buildings will burn down.
No, it is NOT OK. Sex is just NOT a physical act. It is emotional, psychological, spiritual, and requires adult maturity to handle the repercussions of the act. Children (and I include any up to the age of marriage) do NOT have the developmental capacity to handle that.
Sex can be (in the wrong setting and that is mostly the case) demeaning (do you like to be seen naked by others?), clumsy, painful, embarrassing, and self depreciating. It causes one to lose respect for themselves (so they go out and engage in one sexual act after another with multiple partners), lose respect for others, and get a screwed up view on what a solid marriage-partner relationship should be.
Sex becomes lust, there is no love involved. It is done because "without having sex I will lose him/her". Better they should be lost. . . permanently.
We won't mention the obvious. You say pregnancies are going down but that has nothing to do with the fact that 5th graders and younger are already sexually active. It is because birth control for older teens is more readily available. The pregnancies are occurring with these active preteen and young teens.
STDs however are on the way up. . . way up and the biggest growth area is in preteens and teens.
Your thinking has a lot of holes in it. I suspect you are already sexually active and as a result to feel better about yourself you are OK with others getting emotionally and physically hurt by participating in unwise, and foolish sexual activity outside of marriage.
. . . and we wonder why there are more teen suicides, self loathing, guilt, worry, and stress. . . . go figure.
Sex belongs ONLY in marriage.

It is a terrible thing. Just because it is declining does not mean it isn't happening!! How would you feel if your daughter comes home crying and you ask her why and she answers, " When I was supposed to be _____________ I actually had sex with someone and now I am pregnant!!!" The chances that they become pregnant is still very high and what child should be put in that position???

Well with the stuff that's on TV nowadays, this shouldn't be surprising. America has to figure out a way to get kids back on track. Its sad, sad indeed for 10, 11 year olds to be involved with this kind of riskiness
