As for a serious opinion on this, I believe that I was ready for sex younger than 16, but mature enough to realise that, for one, I'd be breaking the law, and two, I would use contraception or be bitten on the arse for it. Hard. Lots of my friends would come into school, boasting their conquests, as young as 14, and their maturity and readiness was never called into question. They probably regret doing it though, and I wouldn't blame them.
Assuming I reproduce again, my daughter will be getting an open sex talk as soon as she hits puberty, and likely birth control. If any potential progeny is male, I'll let Daddy handle it, but they'll be equipped to handle the situation.
I don't buy into that "Informing them is enabling them" BS. Teenagers not knowing about sex isn't going to stop them from having it. People who believe that are lying to themselves and hurting others.
Hell, my grandparents tried that routine on me. It didn't work.
I won't particularly care if my kids are having sex as long as I know they're doing so responsibly. The only "legal" bit that matters to me is the age thing. I don't want my 15 year old sleeping with a 21 year old.

There are a hell of a lot more important things you should be worried about your government spending your money on.Housebroken Lunatic said:
The fact is that most sane, well adjusted teens with access to protection will use it. Telling them not to do it won't help, there's a higher rate of teen pregnancy with families who regulate the subject more. Do you honestly think that we'd be able to restrict something as natural and essential as sex?, even if we don't say anything, kids will figure it out.
And I don't think the fact that you pay taxes gives you control over human will. Besides, by that logic everyone should have a say, yes?. Then what about people who disagree with you, or would use their money to support Neo-Nazis or the KKK?.
An argument could also be made(And I'm playing devils advocate here) that it's not the mother you're helping, but the child unfortunate enough to be born as such.
The situation is shit, but that doesn't mean you can just ignore it. Isn't it your responsibility as a human being to aid those in need?. I don't think so, but there are plenty of tax payers that do.
It's not the teenagers who are asking for your handout, it's the government that controls where tax money goes, if you have a problem, take it up with the people who control it, not the people who benefit from it.
People's lives are their own to live as they see fit. I have no problem with it, with two possible exceptions. Unprotected sex when underage is retarded. It will ruin not only your life, but also your child's and your families(ruin being a relative term). The other exception is the creepy old guy, even 3 years of age difference is starting to push it in my mind(assuming the younger one is underage. 3 years for people in their late 20s is nothing)
You know, as long as they know what they are doing, and doing it safe it's allright to my thinking. Two kids figuring out their bodily functions and all that biologic mumbo jumbo.
However this does not mean I think any 18+ should 'get it on' with someone below the consensual age. On the contrary, keep yer mitts of me kids is more a thought in that scenario.
Ya know, let nature just run it's course. But I agree with what seems the majority, give them some damn information on what to use (not how to do -it-, but how to prevent unplanned pregnancy or anything else rather uncomfy.)

Funny reading what you all are writing especially all you who are talking about the kids need to be intellectually and emotionally ready before they can have sex.
Yes, the kids need to at least have an IQ of 82.5, minimum 8 years of school and they need to know what different emotions are before they can have sex or else they are going to die when they get an orgasm.
What do people mean when they say things like that? the kids need to be intellectually ready before they have sex? You guys talking about knowing when to say yes/no? When to use contraceptives? What to do and not to do? Right and Wrong? Isn't that really something the parents should tell their kids about? Isn't that something the school should educate in?
What are people afraid of? What is it that people are afraid of is going to happen if they have sex? Pregnancies and AIDS and stuff? Well shit, education is a dandy thing to have, in Norway teenage girls can go to the pharmacy (is that the right word?) and get birth-control-pills for free without needing to tell the parents. Same for boys too i believe with condoms.

I think as long as both partners are mature and safe enough it's ok, but definitely not any younger than 16 IMO.
I'd like to view underage se- wait a minute...
Anyway, if both parties consent, I have no problem with it. When both parties have reached puberty, they're going to do something like this even with strict laws in place, and punishing young kids with life-ruining punishments for a victimless crime helps no one.
Education is the answer, to prevent the spread of STDs and pregnancy.
Otherwise, have at, kiddies.

What if they never claim that love is the reason? What if they just want sex?Captain Ponyholder said:
Once you get to be around my age (20), you'll see that 15 and 17 truly aren't very far apart at all concerning sexual maturity, and some people at 20 are less sexually promiscuous or curious than some people at 15. Everyone matures differently and the laws should take this into account when all parties are consenting (even if they are stupid).
I'm against arbitrary restrictions no matter what the form and "you have to be 18 to have sex" is as arbitrary as they get.
If you want to and you have the sort of relationship with someone who will let you, no one you don't know should be able to stop you.

You're 14 and you wanna have sex with another 14 year-old? Creepy, but more power to ya! What's that, you had a kid because one or both of you had the intellect of a piece of moldy bread? Serves you right, you thundering moron!
You're 16-20 and you wanna have sex with another 16-20 year-old? A blessing on your heads! What's that, you had a kid because one or both of you had the intellect of a piece of moldy bread? Well that's unfortunate, but something like this will make you learn really fast and I think will make you a better, smarter person in the long-run.
You're 24 and you wanna have sex with another 24 year-old? A blessing on your heads! What's that, you had a kid because one or both of you had the intellect of a piece of moldy bread? At this point, you need to be taken out of the gene pool.
If you're wondering why I threw in the bit with the hypothetical 24 year-olds, it's to illustrate that teenagers aren't the only ones who can be head-up-the-ass retarded, which coincidentally emphasizes my second paragraph about how older teens and young adults can be responsible and mature. 14 and under, and I'm not sure you're that mentally mature. Heck, I KNOW I was a friggin' idiot when I was in my early teens, even though I'm fairly sure I was still a step above the average back then.

I don't live i the U.S (and I'd never want to live in that crappy society either) so your solution is pretty much useless.xvbones said:
