I refuse to argue with you. You're pointless and immoral.

thats just taking away their innocence. thats like telling a kid santa is not real. you keep a kid safe from letting him/her know things that they shouldnt know. and if they are 10 they definately should not know about sex until 12 cause their hormones kick in at that age.

i think much older teens should be okay to have sex if and only if they have a serious relationship, and if they are comfortable with it.

Teenage pregnancy.

^yay Kevin! even birth control pills can't stop that! (well..sometimes)

That is what birth control pills DO. Stop pregnancy...combined with the use of condoms, it is very VERY very VERYYYY hard to get pregnant.

^Yeah but it was said that birth control pills aren't entirely reliable. There's stilla a very tiny chance...

and it's not like kids go to the store and actually buy them. There are some that do, but according to some reports (overpopulation report) half of kids who have under age sex do not buy protection (mostly because of fear..I think you know what they're afraid of). And can you just imagine a 10-year old or 12-year old buying condoms?

well IMO kids are going to learn about sex regardless of if they are doing or not. why dont ppl stop acting like kids arent going to learn about it and just meet them head on and provide efficient sex-ed for them? if kids are taught properly instead of having parents too scared to talk about it then kids wouldnt have to find things out for themselves.


im immoral?

kids used to take the throne at the age 10 or 12 in some countries... yet you think they are incapable of poppin some girl's cherry... yeah so immoral... please


yeah and birth control pills do work, nothing is ever %100... that like saying don't wear seatbelts in cars b/c they don't ALWAYS work... of course there is the chance that you'll still get pregnant but its highly unlikely

I didn't say don't use birth control pills because they might not work, I'm saying don't have sex because you might get knocked up. Those countries who have sex at a young age is usually because of an arranged marriage or something related to culture.

Of course, there are those countries with people who are uneducated about protection which is causing overpopulation.

But in the United States and other countries who are educated about these sort of things are responsible enough to make the right decision.

And the right decision for them might be to have sex.

Having sex before marriage is completely up to the person, you have no right to tell me that I am immoral just because I am not a virgin.

I don't think it's wrong. I mean, if you're ready then you're ready. Despite the age.

It's the right decision not to have sex if you're like.....13 or 10! Keep the innocence till adult hood. And I called that dude (sillakilla) immoral because he used a 10-year old as an example.

I dont care what example the person used, who are you to stay who's immormal and who isnt?

Underage sex? Fine as long as you're mature enough (and no, you cant possibly be mature enough at 12. I'm talking 15 maybe, 16), both people aggree to it, and you use protection. And the fact that if you're under 18, you're underage is a bit dumb. When I turn 18 I'm suddenly lightyears more mature than I was when I was 17?

caitlinnn is wise beyond her years

Society does.

I thought the whole idea of a debate was to debate. Don't call someone immoral and pointless just because they don't hold the same belief system as you do.

Anyway, I see a lot of recurring patterns in today's society..people against gay marriage..spitting on abortion, and now this..

Our only problem is that we need to shut the hell up and mind our own business. Let people live their lives. Don't let it affect yours if you don't like it.

So we can look at the issue of underage sex as a symptom of other problems, namely self-esteem issues, then? Perhaps, then, if we teach kids to be happier and more content with themselves, and to not use sex as a way of getting ahead, then we could curb rates of underage sex?

Of course, that requires proactive steps on the part of adults, who are often just as guilty of using sex as a tool as children.

Calling someone immoral is more or less, as I see it, based on your own personal opinions... Underaged sex isn't immoral, not even taboo in our society - well, depending on where you live. If you're 12, yeah, that's definitely taboo, and I personally think that's too young of an age to be having sex. 13, as well, and maybe even 14. However, if someone is having sex at that age, I have no problem with it because it doesn't concern me. It doesn't affect me in any way and I am in no position, same with everyone else, to scold such behavior.

But that's just my opinion

i think it's very wrong. underaged kids think they know everything and the conciquenes but they don't. and i think they're too irresponsible for anything as big as sex.

Who cares? If it happens that there aren't any consequences, like the girl doesn't get pregnent or an STD, how does that affect you?

I don't think that it's wrong, I just think it's really really bad for you. I couldn't really care less about the people who do it, I just think that they should know what could potentially happen- pregnancy, STDs, and the like. I personally would never ever ever want to have underage sex, I just don't get the point, but if other people do, it's their fault if they get in deep shit.

What is the point of even making this topic if you claim that society scorns underaged sex? Obviously there are people with different views.

Sex isn't immoral; it's a part of life and whether you're younger than 18 or not shouldn't really make it 'moral or immoral'! If you're irresponsible, don't use protection, get pregnant and put the kid up for adoption or abortion, I can understand 'immoral'. It really depends on the situation of whether it's 'right or wrong'. Unless you're younger than 15, sex really shouldn't be an option. There is no reason to take the risk; at that young of an age one is normally not experienced enough with society or aware of the consequences, so they make mistakes that could cost them dearly.

So, is underaged sex wrong? No, as long as you are responsible and truly know what you're doing.

So what sillakilla is saying is that 10 year olds are to be encouraged to have sex if they, themselves, claim that they're "mature and responsible?"

we never said, sex was immoral. I did say that sex when you're 10 years old is immoral. Wouldn't you think so? so let's say a 13-year old uses condoms and birth control pills. Would you say it's okay for that kid to have sex? You did say it was not an option but then you said underage sex isn't wrong.

When have I ever stated that society scorns underaged sex? There was someone who asked "who are you to stay who's immormal and who isnt?" and I responded.

Agreed.
