i dont agree with it, If things didnt happen to me when i was younger and i had the choice i wouldnt have had sex till i was ready which if things was different my first time would have been my 17th birthday.

Kids that young don't have the emotional maturity to handle all the things that come with sex. It is more than sharing body parts. There is alot of emotional baggage. Not to mention, STDs and pregnancy risks.

When asking if it's right, one must really have a dose of perspective here. Some would consider it wrong merely because we generally don't allow marriage that young and we ALL know that sex outside of wedlock will put you on the express bus to Hell. There are certain nations that currently have an age of consent of 12, and in the 19th century, kids could get married at 10 IN THE US! Then we started getting more puritanical in the early 20th century and bow, despite the act that our kids are now hitting puberty before 10, they are not considered adults until their mid-20s. Until they are old enough to graduate COLLEGE, they lack the emotional/mental maturity to even dress themselves. Adulthood is edging closer to 30 now. Hell, even at 34 I am considered a child by many! Seriously, I think it REALLY depends more on the kids and how they were raised. Some people are more mature and well-balanced by age 12 than others are their entire lives. If we insist on measuring emotional maturity by counting the candles on the cake, we are even stupider than I thought.

It is wrong. You're right, it's wrong. Pace, Jerv, but ten has never been a legal age for marriage in any of these United States.

I think it's nearly always wrong. There might be a few who have the emotional maturity to maintain a relationship including sex but Western society at least is making the period of adolescence longer and longer. It's not uncommon for people in their 30's to still be playing the field whereas maybe 20 years or more ago, most people in that age group were married and probably had at least a couple of kids.

I think it is totally wrong. You are definitely right about that. Our culture is so centered around sex, and everyone is open about it. I don't think kids today are taught right and wrong by their parents as well as they used to be.
