What age....?

Question

What age does the majority of people consider appropiate to have a child, or even have sex for that matter. I know that it really doesn't matter as long as you can support the child and are ready, but what about getting pregnant or having sex at 14 and 15, sometimes younger, what do you think about that. This question is more for just an opinion from other people.

Answer 1

well i'm 17 i'm 6 months pregnant which if you think about it means i got pregnant when i was sixteen. People always look at me like im a sinful monster but i dont care because i made the descision to have sexual intercourse. I believe as long as you're mature enough to know the concenquences and mature enough to know what to do so it doesn't hurt you then you're old enough if your old enough to know hey i'm gonna get preggo then your old enough to know OMG hell no i'm gonna get preggo!

that is my opinion take it or leave it

Answer 2

Sex is something that should NOT happen unless you know that person mentally for a while. Reason being: You have sex and get pregnant and that guy starts changing because he doesn't want kids or the responsibility that comes along with being a parent. Had you known him better you would have known that he's not mature enough for kids or you. On that same note if you are 14-17 years old and want to have sex, you need to find other things to do with your time than to worry about that.18 is the youngest age because in the eyes of the law you are considered an adult. Once you have SEX your innocence is lost and you can NEVER get it. (just my opinion).

Answer 3

I am a firm believer in waiting until marriage to have sex. That is what I did and that is what my husband did. I was 19 going on 20 and he was 25. Having sex at 14 or 15 is dangerous because if you conceive a child you will not be able to take care of it. You need to wait until you are old enough and stable enough and MARRIED to be able to deal with one of the major consequences of having sex...having a baby.

Answer 4

I think that 14 is way to young to have sex. You aren't mature enough to deal with the consequences at that age. You'd be finishing school when your child is starting preschool. I think that you need to be able to deal with pregnancy or stds if you're going to have sex. Birth control isn't 100% effective. I also think that if you're going to have sex as a minor than you need to be mature enough to openly discuss it with your partner and I don't just mean where and how. I think that you need to discuss your feelings about it what would happen if you did get pregnant. I know when you're a teenage you feel like you're old enough but you're not. I had sex at 17, and I really wish I would have waited until I was married so that I could share that first time experience with the man I am going to spend the rest of my life with. If you aren't going to wait til marriage at least wait until love and you're done with high school.

Answer 5

Having sex at 14 or 15 is in my opinion ridiculous. There aren't many of that age who can support themsevles and a child and very few are mature enough to take on that kind of responsiblity to begin with. And I don't know many taxpayers who appreciate having to foot the bill of raising children born to children either.

Answer 6

It all depends on the society you're in. In some countries, as soon as a girl begins to menstruate, she is considered ready to mate. Unfortunately, religions differ in their restrictions, as do countries in their laws.
My opinion is that sex education should start before puberty, and then with sound knowledge, and adult advice, sexual relationships can start as soon as they like. I also believe that every boy should be initiated by a week-end with a friend of his mother at the onset of puberty. A boy who knows what he's doing will find it easier, safer, and more rewarding to satisfy a girl, rather than the fumbling disaster which usually occurs with two virginal children.

Answer 7

I think 14-15 is WAY to young to be having a baby, their still babie themselves, i knew a girl who had sex & had a baby at the age of 13 but i think that people should wait till their finished with high school at least before having children, sex is one thing but having children while in school, thats to stressful (i think anyway).

Answer 8

I don't think women should be having babies until they are a legal adult. Then they are responsible for what happens to them and the choices they make. As for sex it really depends on the maturity level. There are some very immature girls out there who know nothing about life but think they know everything. And there are plenty of boys to but they are not the one who gets pregnant and whether we like it or not it is usually the girl who gets stuck with the baby. It is very hard raising kids on your own but to these girls it's a novelty for a while.

Answer 9

each and every cellular has DNA and this is consisted of two strands tightly woven around one yet another. the ingredient that prevents the two strands from breaking aside is named a telomeric cap (that's random nucleotide sequences called nonsense codons. Codon is a three sequence of nucleotides that codes for amino acids eg. CUU is a amino acid called proline . A nonsense codon is one that doesnt code for any amino acid production) each time your cells divide a small sequence is lost there by utilising reducing the steadiness of the cellular's DNA (in layman's words). this could ultimately lead do maximum of Ur cells' DNA turning out to be risky. and frequently while a mistake occurs in DNA the cellular will carry out vehicle cytolysis (cellular suicide) to ward off issues. So once you're old maximum of ur cells telomeric caps would be low and that they are vendors to die while they attempt to divide.. Whats fairly thrilling approximately this concept is the impression it has on evolution (because of the fact this occurs on the two meiotic besides as mitotic divisions. meaning that a species grows old too till now it mutates.. yet thats a diverse tale)

Answer 10

Sex and pregnancy at 14 or 15 is a big fat NO. Waaay too young. I think the appropriate time is when one is married, financially stable and mature. I was 27 and I think that was PERFECT.
