This question has been brought up a lot in my life - I dont really know why but I think it is because of the growing pressure that kids friends apply to them to do stuff at a young age. Also the stuff that is on tv or at the click of a mouse on the internet - kids are growing up way too fast!
What do you think?
Things only seem to be going downhill these days because we have been lying to ourselves less and less about the gritty stuff since the 1950s. But things have always been "bad". Or maybe its not really bad, that's just how it is. Since the dawn of man, tweeners have been banging eachother and getting banged by older people.
I voted "no". Although I may not like the idea that much, it is so normal and it has been this way for thousands of years. Maybe its not bad. I lost my virginity when I was 16, is that too young? Define "early age", please.
well 16 may not be too young - i am 15, 16 this week - its just people i know have had sex with older people when they were still in middle school, i feelthat i am mature enough to have sex, its just poeple that do it because they feel they have to, to be cool - and i think it is just getting out of control, people that are young and have sex often are people that i am talking about
16 isnt too young at all.. 10, 11, 12, 13, maybe 14 is to early.
ok basicly, you're too young if you cant get any e-jack. othrwise do as your mind does

only, most girls arn't ready to do it til their twenties
What exactly are we comparing it to? People have been having sex at 16 for centuries. They just seem to be getting pregnant now.
yeah other that it's illegal in the US for an 18 year old to bang a minor
I knew 12 year olds that have had sex(They're like 14 now

), or at least they say so. I wouldn't be suprised if they were telling the truth
People used to get married and have sex at 14. Its nothing new.
Kids are not growing up too fast -- quite the opposite. The mass media of today bolsters immaturity levels in most Americans well into their late teens and early twenties. It's disgusting.
Well, Yes...and no. Sometimes its abit early, i knew this kid back last year (i was 12, he was 12, she was 12. yeah..) and they said they we're having Sex, i dunno if its true to tihs day but...i do think 12 is ABIT young to have sex...i think 16 or 17 should be the Age requirement. =P
i mean...
You can get married in Vermont at 12! =D
i wanted to move to vermont this year...but no =( (lol)
ignorance & low morales cause people having sex early.

Uh, no.
Entertainment is the cause for girls to nymphomaniac themselves around.
Edit: S L U T is changed to nymphomaniac? Wtf m8?
I think people should do it when they want to.
If that's 12, and they think they're ready, and they don't have a kid, okay.
If that's 20 something, that's fine.
Whatever they want. They shouldn't be pressured.
Toothfairy, you are completely wrong on this one!
Most girls are ready way before that! Its true that some pressure may be involved, but girls are applying some of these pressures! Girls that have sex when they are freshman in highschool may be a little pressured by uppre classmen, but if they have sex with guys that are freshman also, i dont think there is too much pressure going on there
Some girls are more than ready by the time highschool starts and some arent, some dont have sex till there past highschool, but I think most of them are ready at too young of an age, I think that the age will keep getting lower. Because some people are getting way to comfortable at a younger age and from a little pressure here and there people will start having sex in middle school and if you dont, you will be looked at differently and just a couple years before that it was normal not to have sex in middle school. I think that people are having sex too young, and that it is only going to get worse!

Well it depends.. I believe 17 and higher is alright. I think some people don't have choices like in Africa and such. But everyone wants to experiement which makes it worse. Grade 8 and 7 doing nasty things.. Stupid kids.

That is exactly what I think!
That is what I said summed up perfectly!
I believe the moment you have sex, it means you're mature enough to have it.
It has nothing to do with age, I know girls who have gotten their period at age 9 and others at 16. Trust me, even though a lot of people say it, sex is not a joke. Mostly, it is a state of pleasure for the mind.
Now the side effects that come with it, are the problems, like disease and pregnancy.
Like BeeR said, I would've been able to have sex in grade 5/6, but I know kids in my grade that haven't even hit puberty yet.
Others are simply to imature and get all giggly.
I would have had it when I was in 4th grade then.

The kids are not to blame but the community is!
