well let's see. it's pretty young to have sex, cuz usually kids that age don't think of using condoms, or worrying about std's. they just focus on how good it feels and don't think about the consequences. its very important to take all of that into consideration. and nobody wants to be a mom at that age or in the guy's case, get a girl pregnant. and besides hun, wouldn't u want to wait for that special someone that you would want to give it up to? not just any person ya know. ur body is special and u should tell ur friend to treat it with respect. don't follow in ur friends steps babe. if u do u will regret it. just be patient and wait. you'll be glad u did.

People don't really become emotionally and mentally mature until their late twenties.
So it is harder to make good decisions when you're younger, and sex can have MAJOR consequences.
I don't think 15 is the best age to be having sex. But not for moralistic reasons. More in a practical sense.
I read recently that if girls are married (in some cultures this is still occurring) and under 16, their chances of dying in childbirth are 5 times higher than an adult. This implies that even physically, 15 is too young for sex.

If I had the chance to go back again, I would have waited longer. You aren't really mature enough to make a decision like that. The things that can come from having sex at such a young age just aren't worth it. Pregnancy is the least of your worries really. I have been really fortunate and Not gotten any STD's, but that doesn't mean they aren't out there, and they can even kill you. Unless the guy is willing to do STD test with you there or takes you with him to get the results then I wouldn't trust him. If he isn't willing to give you the information on his health, then he doesn't care about you. Same thing goes for girls that won't give you their health information. Before and after every partner get tested and make sure you and your partner are clean.

I am 17 and I think that yes, 15 is too young. People may think that they are all grown up and mature but I can promise that a 15 year old isn't... at all. Most people regret it after and it just makes things a but awkward. I am saying that you should wait for marriage b/c most humans have to give in to the urge before then but waiting until you are an able adult... 18... is probably better.

Of course it is. Sex is a very serious expression of one's love to another and should be done with someone you see yourself spending a long time if not the rest of your life. Right now you are only 15 and believe it or not you are still growing up mentally as well as physically. You should take things slowly and not feel like you have to do things to keep a guy. The best guy you can find is someone who wants to be with you because of who you are not what you are willing to do to keep him.

Yes it is. You are not ready for something like that at such a young age. Even people who are 20 aren't ready for it. At 15 you should be going to the movies with friends and just having fun. NO SEX!

Yes it very much is. Every time you have sex you risk getting pregnant or catching a disease even if you are using protection, that protection can fail and condoms are not effective against some STD's such as herpes and warts which can be caught threw skin to skin contact.
Do you really want to be a parent or have a disease before your even 18?

Too young, hang in for a few years, concentrate on learning and starting off life right.. Sex is the easiest thing in the world to find and accomplish, becomming someone who can stand on their own isn't.. Take the high road

In general, yes, because most, if not all fifteen year olds are not mature enough to handle all of the consequences of sex, like unplanned pregancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and a broken heart.
Sex will always be around...and most poeple would agree that waiting until you've found the right person (which won't happen at fifteen, trust me), is the best route to go.

As long as the 15 year old is prepared to deal with the possible consequences to having sex, such as pregnancy, STDs, reputation, etc. If they're not ready emotionally and financially for any of that, they shouldn't be having sex.
