Some adults know that their children are sexualy and they give them advice about what to do and what not to do. I just want to know what most adults think in a situation like this.

Everyone says sex is for adults or married couples, which is true. But we all know that more than half of us lost our virginity at a young age. Sad but true. I was 15.5, I'm not ashamed. Six yrs later and were still together.

Well that all depends on how old they are and if they use protection. If there are two sixteen year olds and they decide to have sex with protection that doesn't bother me. I think if they are any younger and want to contemplate it, I think they should think twice. Sure sex is apart of life, but at that age I think they should be exploring the other parts of life first. Sex with or without protection would be a great strain on their bodies and their mental health when they are still sooo young. But of course every young person and adult should use protection at every sexual experience! I also believe that sex is something that should come from two people who love one another. And when you're a teen you barely know what love is if you can define it at all. Mind you, a lot of teenagers view virginity is some kind of t-shirt that is no longer in fashion. Which means the sooner you loose it the better you'll be...not likely! There are teens out there that wear their sexual experiences on their chests like some kind of medal! The more they have the more medals to wear! Sex shouldn't be like that and that's why it is best to wait for the most part until you're eighteen. By all accounts and purposes one is supposed to be more worldly by then. Of course that is seldom the case. But whom am I to interfer with the ways of teenagers? No one. However, my advise or opinon is sought and I say that youngsters must wait and see what they truly want(outside of peer pressure) and then they will know what is right for them. With one proviso you must always have protection above all else!

I can only speak for myself but I find teens having sex are ususally doing it for the wrong reason.
Sex has so many levels and interactions with human relations that it should not be practiced until you are more mature. Even when you are in a committed relationship in your teen years, there's just so much more going on than you realize.
I've been young and I recognize now how naive and foolish some of my behavior was - and, yes, I did learn from all my mistakes. But it so much nicer to learn without having to make mistakes.
As adults we realize that, once a teenager has sex, they will likely have it again. Perhaps telling them what to do or taking them for birth control is the adults way of trying to protect them.

I think that the teens should think about the fact that no birth control is 100% and they shouldn't do the deed if they aren't willing to take on the responsibility that could come from having sex (the baby)...in fact, that's my opinion on some young adults that have sex too.

Teens shouldn't have sex and I say that because at one time a teen having sex. There is to much emtional attachment that goes on with sex. It happends but it is very rare that someone marries there highschool sweet heart. The things you do as a teen can dictate the rest of your life and if your not careful it can screw it up. Teens are not ready to make that kind of commitment. They have a life time to have sex, they need to keep their childhood as long as possible.

I believe all you can do, as a parent, is teach kids that sex comes with consequences and that, if they choose to do it, they need to be careful and responsible. Wear protection ALWAYS! Don't listen to that girl who says she's on the pill; don't listen to that boy who says he'll just put it in "A little". Condoms. Always. Seriously, you can't make them not do it, but you can insure that they think about it first. I hope my sons will wait (one on one dating won't even be an option until they are 15 or 16!) and, at least, save it for a girl they really care about, but at a certain point, it is out of your parental hands and you ahve to rely on them to make the right decisions. I just want my sons to be responsible with their sexuality. I don't want to be a grandma, yet.

Having two 17 year old sons, I must say that I do not recommend them having sex at this age. Most people at this age are not really able to handle it emotionally, or can they handle it if the girl gets preganant.

i don't think teens under 18 should be having sex as they are too young to handle the consequences. you are emotionally mentally ready or financially plus your body isnt finished growing your too young to have sex. sex is for married adults

if the teen are the same age, it's not too bad. if he is over 18, he should be in jail. you should worry more about school, and forget about sex.
