How Old Were You?

---

So are you saying i dont understand the consequences, because I do..

not only that you dont understand it, but how do u think you will handle things when something bad happens. you think you can raise a baby on your own? you think you can find a cure for aids? you think you can take yourself to the doctor to get treatment for stds? i highly doubt it, your parents are gonna be hit with all those responsibilities.

12.... sad

yea it is very sad, I have never heard of a single girl who had a child before she was 18 and became successful or even had a easy life. Thats the kind of thing you only see in tv shows and movies. Reality is if you get pregnant, aids, or stds it will ruin your life. And there isnt anything you can do to fix it after you've messed it up.

14, not 12.

LOLdon't have to be like that... i have done a lot more shit before 12.... not sexual i mean.... but i don't have kids... and i am not pregnant... i am in my 3rd years of university and gonna graduated this coming june... anyway, i pretty much just love to have sex, with the one i loved... however, during my 1st time, my ex bf and i were kind of buzzed... so i didn't get to really know how much pleasure sex can be.... "damn, my 1st time just went like that ? ?!!! "

well you're situation is differnt miku, you are a legal adult and out of high school. You are in a university and almost finished with school. You are not a burden on society like most teenage mothers are. If you were to get pregnant it would be a lot easier for you to take care of things on your own than a 14 year old would. And seeing a pregnant girl in college is a lot easier to see than a pregnant girl in high school. Imagine walking around see these kids who dont even know how to drive yet pregnant....it makes me sick and I feel sorry for their families who have to deal with it. There goes their parents dreams of watching their daughter go on to lead a successful and happy life. Now their daughters will be living with them until they are 30 and not only taking care of their daughters but their daughters baby too.

i was 18 almost 19 she was 15 almost 16 i stayed with her for 5 and a half years she ended up leaving me when i went to iraq on my first tour. It was wieird also because she was my first and she had been with like 6 guys before me. I never could let the past go and I learned alot from her :c)

I was 15, and i lost it to the man i eventually married a few years later.

lol 12 gto a girl and 13 to a man...felt werid with the girl I wasnt really ready and she was to old...she walk like 17 and wasnt a virgin so I was like confused and I wasnt in to it...with the guy though I was in to it major I enjoyed it alot and had lots of fun.

I was 17 when I lost my virginity (was with a guy if that matters). It was kind of odd because I didn't know we were going to go that far. We were fooling around in his bed like normal and I noticed he put some lotion on my penis, thinking he was just using some lube to jerk me off, but than he sat down on it. So yeah was alittle "scared" at first because I have never done anything like that, but after the first shock of it all it was a blast!

I was 16, got pregnant. Got a job and lived on my own (my mom was never a mother to me), and have been on my own ever since. I guess I am not as successful as I would have been if I didn't get pregnant, but I live a pretty comfortable life. Sorry, just wanted to add that.

Well abc, I do understand the consquences, and i protect myself as much as i can (now), at first i was stupid but i realize things that can happen, and i wont get an std, because my boyfriend is clean (he has been checked out before we did anything) and its not like im going around sleeping with other guys.. and say i did get an std.. your sayin im young and itd ruin my life, which is true, but if i was a few years older, it'd do the same thing.

if you were a few years older it would probably be easier. At least you'd be old enough to get a job and drive. Right now at your age, you are totally dependent on your parents not matter what you say. YOu can say you can have awful parents or whatever but they are the ones paying for your clothes and food and other stuff. Without them you'd be homeless pretty much.

in short, save your parents the trouble by waiting to have sex when you are older at least old enough to drive and work. After all they have done for you the least you can do is not put them at risk of having to face all the troubles that will come if something does happen to you.

I understand being able to work, but what has driving got to do with it? So she can drive herself to hospital when she goes into labour? And in a lot of states (if not all of them) the legal age to drive is 15, so she can have sex next year?

sorry bob, the driving thing was kinda suppose to be connected to the working thing (driving to work) but i guess you can walk, bike or take the bus. but working is a difinite must, i think most places are 18+ now. Only places that still hire 16+ are like whacked out stores in the mall that make you wear funny uniforms.

Thats not true, when i was 16 i worked at borders book making good money

Are you saying people need to be old enough to pay for their own abortion?

Damn right they should.
