Bottom line. If you are still in school Middle / High school or even college. If you are still living under your parents roof. If your parents are still paying any of your bills (Thats Tuition / room and board / credit card ANY OF YOUR BILLS). If you are not able to handle any amount of alcohol in a responsible manner. If you do not have a job that you can support yourself and at least one other person on completely. If you do not have your own house and are on any type of government aid. You are too young for a sexual relationship.
You're kidding right? You are saying that nearly everyone under the age of 22 (since a majority of parents pay for college), cannot handle sex. They can marry, smoke, drink (depends on the country i guess),go to war, etc. Did birth control never enter you're vocabulary? The mature and responsible way of having sex is to protect oneself, yes? That includes a precautionary measures to avoid pregnancy, std's etc. Though it is an obvious possibility that having sex may result in pregnancy, there is an easy way to avoid that, since birth control (other than just using a condom) is so highly effective. Beside the fact that we are not talking "sexual relationship" we are talking about sex, since you can have a sexual relationship without technically having sex.

like i said, im 20, i still dont want a kid and honestly i probably wont want one for the entirety of my life, but this doesnt mean i should never have sex imo and the same goes for younger kids i think...they dont have to be wanting a baby in order to have sex, they just have to be responsible
Exactly, the "
well they couldn't handle a child" argument is pointless, a few people have said "
at least wait till 16+"
Does that mean they think a 16yr old could ? Lamesauce.

At 14... arguing over who was cooler - My Chemical Romance or The Used.
Same here, but the group of friends I had, was the one with kids having sex, lol.

Way too young. You're still a baby! You can't even get a learner's permit in most states at that age! Where would you even have sex? Where are your parents???
At fourteen what would you even do if the worst case scenario happened? Can you get a job? With insurance? You can't go to the doctor without your parents knowing, I know that much.
This is making me feel old. And I'm only twenty.

Actually, you can in my state.

I got my permit like two weeks(?) before I lost my virginity, and I was 18, so that made me laugh. I didn't feel any bit more mature than most of the kids in my drivers ed class either.
For the second part-
I'm pretty sure I couldn't do that now

but I'm not sure it would have been any harder than it has been for me to find a job currently, at 14. At least the economy was better then.
I LOL @- that with all this pregnancy talk, no one's mentioned abortion. (I don't think anyone has?)
My opinion, I think it takes a very responsible 14yr old for sex to be even considered ok, but that doesn't mean that they do not exist. Hell, 14yr olds can get jobs, that's a mature responsibility.
As for the "omg your virginity can never be taken back" type arguments, it's sex, big woop. I don't quite understand the big deal with ones virginity. Some people regret who they lost it to, at any age, and some don't.
