Speaking as another 16 year old, that's a very mature line you're taking. I'm still at the "OMG BOOBIES" stage.
The way I see it, sex is just sex. Fun for both parties involved and if you excercise caution and act responsibly then their isn't a problem. Sex isn't an adult thing, young people do it all the time - it is just part of life and growing up. Here in the UK the age of consent is 16, most relationships at that age don't mean anything too special, and they don't have too. But that's not to say they can't mean anything special, in some cases they do.Jiraiya72 said:Despite what you may think, You're not even close to being adults. Not even young ones. Even if you understand exactly what's going on doesn't change your age nor the possible consequences.Pennyy9 said:Jiraiya72 said:Not even halfway through highschool, still shouldn't have done it.
Early graduate my friend. But please explain why I shouldn't have.
Pennyy9 said:Kadamon said:First off: You're still fucking young.
Second off: As you can see, the relationship didn't work well in the end anyway.
If people don't have something to hold out for, then we simply won't. We're all shallow creatures and if we give someone our all then there is nothing left to work for. Nothing left to discover. It's sad but it's true.
You're saying in a nutshell that we need to save something simply because we'll get bored if we run out of things to give to other people?
This probably doesn't matter much (I'm guessing the OP is American) but in England 16 the legal age of consent anyway, so I don't quite think you could say they're not mature enough to be making the decision. As for before marriage, I'm personally secular and I'm gonna say that what your heart says is more important than old Yahweh's permission slip.Jiraiya72 said:Not even halfway through highschool, still shouldn't have done it.
Ditto! Proud Londoner - living in America - and still a proud virginCaptain_Maku said:Eh, depends on where you're from, matey. I'm from the UK; legal age is 16. So therefore I don't see the problem.
I'm 18 and still a virgin. Yay me.
Actually the Pope is never mentioned in the Bible and actually goes against lots of what the Bible says. Without meaning to offend anyone, the best way to describe the Catholics is as a well organized cult (I believe the Bible by the way).Therumancer said:...like the Pope being infallible and pretty much the right hand/mouthpiece of god in a literal sense.
Man, I know exactly how you feel.. My best friend and I both lost our virginity to the same girl on the same night. Needless to say we shunned the HELL out of her the next day.thejdcole said:One night stand at a party.. i thought i really liked that girl (talked to her at school A LOT etc.)... then, (as i learn the next day), she decided to sleep with my best friend on the same night (after i had been knocked unconcious by alcohol). Needless to say my friend didn't know that I slept with her, otherwise he wouldn't have done it. So when we were talking the next day we realise what she did to both of us. The most ridiculous thing is that she asked us both (individually), whether we would like to hook up with her. We both just told her to gtfo. Sleeping with her is the biggest regret i have.
Just so you all know we were all over 16.

If you shag as much as me and my girl do than that's about 1-3 times a day...which means in a couple months she should be preggy just by doing the math lol.Pennyy9 said:Funny how the most the argument against teen pregnancy has is the smaller-than-1 percent chance of conception.

In my opinion I say stay safe and use protection. The people that don't and then whine and cry about it because they are going to be parents at a young is is really annoying. Plus, it lowers my faith in humanity and that is never good.
