Children as young as 11-16 having s*x?Wrong or right?

Question

I think all of those ages r wrong especially the 11-15 part!I mean who lets there child have s*x at the ages of preeteens and teens and that means 30% o the females those ages get pregnant!Honesty i think you should be at least 18 or older!

Answer 1

Well, that's a parenting thing. They control their kids. Or the kids crave to control themselves. Either way, s*x is a beautiful experience and children have the right!

Answer 2

Extremely wrong! Don't think many parents "let" their children engage in sexual activities. May not educate them enough bout s*x though.

Answer 3

my friend and i were talking about s*x one night. (donn't ask why but we were)

and we were talking about when we wanted to lose our virginity.

he kinda has (but that was like 3 years ago and we don't really count it)

i told him i just wanted to know what it was like but i still wanted it to be with some one i trusted.

he said that he would with me if i wanted.

but we're only 14 and thats to young

i decided i'm not going to have s*x till i'm 16 at least.!

but its not going to be just to have s*x.

Answer 4

I think getting pregnant at that ages is wrong.  

I think that when you are mature enough to:

-know you have to use protection

-also really use it

-know you're using it because you can't handle the responsibility for kids yet.

then you can have all the s*x you want.

Honestly, what's the real harm in it if you don't get kids?

s*x is like one of the greatest feeling things, why stop people from doing it just because they couldn't handle kids which won't come?

But that's my opinion.

Ps: Please try not to answer your own questions. Kinda closes the door for other opinions.

Answer 5

anytime before 15 is rediculous but jesus 11 thats insane

i think kids should wait but they will find ways to do it honestly i think its important to teach or daughters and sons what s*x should entail and especially the risks and how to protect themselves

but even more so we as the older generations need to teach girls and boys to respect themselves and eachother girls are treated like pieces of meat and guys treat them like meat  we have to show them that is not acceptable

Answer 6

Even 10 year old kids haveing s*x its sad,but yes you right teenagers must not have s*x, you think better have s*x when you are 20+ years old, i think even 18 and 19 yr old is litle young

but that just me ...

Answer 7

It does sound frustrating but that's the way it is, society is like that, and kids want to experience, to know what it is. Teens don't really do that out of perverse or stuff like that in the end I guess,  they want to know what lies in the world, and often end up 'experiencing' too far so that they can't turn back, or sometimes it's just peers, wanting to do what the other has done not to feel left out. 11-years-old should be thinking about football or Harry Potter or getting grades, not s*x. Yeah but it's up to the parent to control their kids, by checking at what he's doing and who he socialises with, but not to harshly, for the kid not to rebel and want to break the rules even more. With this, he gets more comfortable asking his parents on advice about this. Pop culture has its effects too, more than a half of the movies nowadays have s*x in them, the music or even the books.

Answer 8

Answer 9

I agree with you, thats very wrong. Teenagers and Pre-Teenagers should not be pregnant. I would certainly NEVER let my daughter have s*x at her age. I actually told her NO DATING until she's 12 anyway. I did not have s*x until I was 20 and a half and gave birth at 21. I don't think anyone under 19 should be participating in sexual intercourses. When someone brings up sexual content or language in my household they pay one dollar!

Answer 10

No one should have s*x until they are ready to face the consequences.  Children should be taught better, especially facts like 1 in 5 Americans carry a sexually transmitted disease, and that very few STDs are curable.  Having s*x too early can make it where they can't have children in the future.  

When they're older, the fact that they were sexually active at a younger age often leads to trust issues.  I'm glad I waited until I was 18, and I married the man I was with.  Mine was an exceptionally wonderful life with him, until his death when I was 21.  My best friend in high school had a baby at 16, and ended up really having life very hard, with 3 kids before she was 24, and problems with men.

What amazes me is the ignorance that some of these young girls think that the government has deep pockets and will help them raise these kids.  The foster care system, the food stamps system, and more are under such financial strain because so many are applying for assistance.  The money can't be there very much longer.

Answer 11

i agree but there are so many kids having s*x and having babies and i am not sure how to stop it.  i think the best you can do is educate your kids and get them birth control if they are going to have s*x anyway. hopefully you have a good relationship with them and they feel comfortable talking to you in that way. i agree that 18 or older is ideal but not realistic.

Answer 12

now i lost my virginity at the age of 15. and looking back now i wish i would have waited until i was older. so yeah i agree with you that its too young....expecially freaking 11. my God thats still a baby.

Answer 13

I agree it should be older. But you also have to look at the world around us. We are selling s*x everywhere. From the way fashion is to television to internet. These kids really have been sold this lie that s*x is okay from a young age.

Answer 14

Wrong, because s*x has no meaning to them. s*x is meant as a display of love, and children have no idea what actual love is. People in serious relationships should indulge in intercourse, and let's face it children don't have a clue about the merits of mature and true relationships...

Answer 15

well kids do it behind parents backs. its not like there gonna be mom ama go have s*x with my boyfriend.l0l.well i think its wrong . teens and preteens should wait when they can actualy think of what they are doing.

Answer 16

in my life i've known several gals who were sexually active at age 11.  i found, & still find, that appalling. however, human beings are programmed to procreate and ensure the future of  the next generation. self-control should be taught & practiced, but raging hormones are difficult to manage.  teenage s*x is a natural byproduct of hormonal changes, but in today's culture, it's frowned upon; back in the day, girls got married young, had children young, lots of them sometimes, since the mortality rate was so high, but nowadays, girls should wait until they're at least 18 to have s*x (with adequate protection, of course) and older still to have children -- a huge resposibility.  that's just my opinion.

Answer 17

Wrong, wrong, wrong!!!!  11?  When I was 11 I was playing with dolls still???!!!  I am 13 now and s*x is out of the picture for me.  I agree I think that especially 11-15 are bad.  16 isn't as bad, but I still think you should be 18 or older.  Unfortunatley there are many people having s*x far too young.

Answer 18

that is wrong to have s*x at that age people at that age could get pregnet or std's if they have s*x so i don't think it is a good idea but everyone is different and we shouldn't judge them on there s*x life

Answer 19

you cannot consent to s*x legally until you are 16 years old.

However, its still wrong, especially for eleven year olds having s*x. When I was eleven, I was crying to my mom because I didn't want to sit next to a boy in my class. I wasn't having s*x, but I blame no one but the parents for not watching their children. However, At the age of 16 its okay.

But I strongly urge children and teens to wait, until they are in love, this way they won't look like a who.re.

I waited, and I was glad I did.

Answer 20

i agree with you.. wait till you are able to make your own choices and know that there right like 18 and if you dont think your ready wait. see what happened on that show the secret life of an american teenager. thats what is going to happen and you are not going to be able to take care of you baby!

Answer 21

I think it's wrong. Having s*x too young messes up lives. Plus they are too immature to truly understand what they are doing, let alone consequences if/when they happen. I agree with you--people should wait.

Answer 22

definitely wrong because there not having s*x for the RIGHT reason there just having it because they have low self esteem and are curious and want to see what it feels like they dont have it because they love him or her

Answer 23

umm...no one just says "ok sweetie go have s*x now". parents don't "let" their kids have s*x, duh.

I honestly don't see any point in this question other than using yahoo answers as a place to rant, which is against the rules. you're not changing the world by complaining, so give it up.

Answer 24

WRONG

I'm sure this sounds preachy...

In ancient times the human life expectancy was in the mid 30s. As soon as a girl reached the age where she could bare a child she was wed.  It made sense back then, but not now.

*shrug

Answer 25

That is so wrong. I think they should make it a law to be pure until marriage. Usually if you have a baby before you get married your life is totally messed up because the baby ends up having no father!

Answer 26

I am 14.

honestly i dont think its wrong its if youre ready or not.

some poeple find it enjoyable and not passionate... it's all how mature you are at those ages.

i have friends who lost tha vcard when they was 11 and 12.

...and they're perfectly normal people.

and law says you do have to be 18 or older.

Answer 27

I think someone should be married before having s*x. That would make our society better. Next best would be adults through college stable in careers and living together in a committed relationship.

Eleven I cannot even imagine and up to age 17 I do not think someone can handle the emotional fallout from a sexual relationship.

Answer 28

It is wrong in many ways. The age of consent is different in different states in SC it is 14 for girls and 16 for boys.

Answer 29

I am in agreement with you the problem stems from progress of society. It has progressed so far that it has inevitably regressed into a primal state of being with no thought of consequences for its actions. Yes s*x at that age is morally wrong and possibly medically hazardous.

Answer 30

I recently read an article that said that younger people having s*x are less likely to become depressed later in life.  Also it said that younger people were not having more s*x than they were 15 years ago.

Answer 31

Well I agree that "CHILDREN" shouldn't have s*x I also think that if they want to they will.

I think that parents NEED to take a serious roll in educating there kids about s*x. That means talking to them about things that they may feel embarrassed about. Being open and honest about s*x may just help the teens either protect themselves or not do it at all.
