hey guess what experience comes with.hmmmm, yeah that is right, it comes with age. As you get older you get more experience because of your exposure. Your lack of knowledge is shown (so is mine), but mine is light years ahead of yours. So grow up some then think about it.

GRRR!

Well, then these "mature" people would be smart enough to know that no one at such a young age (12 -> 15 atleast) is ready for the physical, emotional and psychological responsibilities of sex. Every mature person knows that all forms of sex involving penile penetration has atleast 1% of pregnancy or transference of an STD or STI. People under the age of 17 cannot be mature enough to handle THAT responsibility, and neither can many people over 17. But at that age they are given a greater chance of adapting to their new situation, while a child cannot adapt without devastating their own lives in the process.

If you deal with these situation correctly then you'll gain experience. You see what I'm saying.In reply to:Well, then these "mature" people would be smart enough to know that no one at such a young age (12 -> 15 atleast) is ready for the physical, emotional and psychological responsibilities of sex.

So judging from what you said, I'm mature. You said that anyone who knows that sex comes with atleast a 1% pregnancy risk is mature. But that also means that males and females engaging in a homo-sexual act can get pregnant. You can ignore that, I was just playing around(even though I made a point). With all kidding aside, a 17yo can do better because society will accept him better. A 17yo has better job oppotunities than a 14yo. The rest come with maturity and, like I said above, you get from dealing with life.

In reply to: You said that anyone who knows that sex comes with atleast a 1% pregnancy risk is mature. Although that is true, I left out (apologies for this) that true maturity is to not only be aware of the possibility, but also willing and capable to handle the consequences. In reply to: With all kidding aside, a 17yo can do better because society will accept him better. A 17yo has better job oppotunities than a 14yo. Exactly, since a 14yo would have a harder time to be accepted, by taking the risk they are being selfish and, for lack of a better word, stupid for 1)allowing the possibility of a child to be born into such a dificult situation and 2)risking their own health and the health of their partner.Wow, I've never talked so seriously before.

well i'm in my mid twenties and i still know people my own age who aren't mature enough to have sex.....but the do it anyways! and hell, that's how most people here in the good ol' U.S. of A. learn best.... (by their mistakes) I totally agree that life is random. and the best way to go through life is by avoiding any/all mistakes that life may throw at ya, but where's the fun in that? some of the best times i had was when i was doing something i shouldn't have done. but hey i delt with it and moved on. that is what i believe helped me become a better person. so if, anyone here wants to abstain from sex then do so. and if anyone wants to go out and do anything and everything then do it just remember that part of maturing is taking responsiblity for your actions.

In reply to: that's how most people here in the good ol' U.S. of A. learn best.... (by their mistakes) Well, pretty much every where else people try to learn from others mistakes, so we don't have to make them. And I'm not trying to preach, sorry if it sounds like I am, I'm just expressing and defending how I feel. But you're right, everybody has the right to live life as they choose and to make their own mistakes.

Dude you are just helping my point. Yes and the more situations you have the more experience you get. In order to deal with more situations you have to be older b/c the kind of sitautions that provide most experience happen in you later teens. Not when you are 10. I gained a lot of experience when i was younger, but you are not metally developed enough to process that experience use it properly. I do not care what you say, you are very young and dumb. So just wait, grow up, and enjoy life properly b/c what is going to happen if she gets pregnant, what happens if you get an STD? Are you prepared to the max mentally to accept that. If you get a disease that ruins the rest of your life how are you going to handle it. The same goes for a child, that is life right there buddy. Not only yours but you generally ruin the girls b/c she is going to have to take more time away from school to take care of herself and child.
So get a clue and just accept that you have to grow up.

*Cough *CoughExcuse me ! ! ! ! YOUR point? Its not just YOUR point ! ! ! ! ! !

lol...but i explained myself well. I am defending on how he is too young.

In reply to:and dumb.Lets try to refrain from name calling.In reply to:13!Acutally I'm much older...I'm 14.lol
-
Well said Walken...again.I don't get why kids won't listen to people who have been there done that. Suppose I say to you "Yeah, when I was 14 I also thought I was knowledgable enough and mature enough to have sex. But now that I'm 32 I realize I didn't know squat, and I'm paying for it." If you were REALLY a mature 14 year old, you would say, "Wow, he thought the same thing I'm saying when he was my age. But he's older now and understands that he was wrong, and now he's paying for it."But you're not doing that, you're saying "I don't care what he says. I know better than people who are well over twice my age. I'm wiser than they."That doesn't make you mature, that makes you pompous. I hope and pray you figure it out before you become a 32 year old man who regrets your pompous 14 year old decisions.

Well, actually Amz, the starter of this thread, is 17.

In reply to:I don't get why kids won't listen to people who have been there done that.If you had read the posts then you would know that they are virgins.In reply to:wrongThere is no such thing as wrong it's just perspective and opinion.
-
A few of us may be virgins, but we are surrounded by people(or atleast I am) who have thrown their lives away by having sex way too young.
-
Yes, those people have thrown their lives away. My sister had sex when she was 14 or 15(can't remember right now) and she's fine. Like I've been trying to say, it all depends on the person and how they deal with it. Many people have ruined their lives by having sex at a young age but many have benefited from it.
-
so because I am a virgin it does not allow me to know people who are not virgins and people who are virgins. You also need to understand I am giving advice in the best interest for you. I am not look for personal sification here. This is for you and people thinking the same as you. You need to understand maturity before you can call yourself mature. I cannot explain how to do that because you just have to go through life to gain that knowledge. So listen to how serious we are and know that this all for you. And stop debating us because it is a deabte that you will lose.
-
Well, we all seem to be looking at this situation from different angles and none of us seem to be looking, or even glancing in a different direction. So lets just call it quits and stop argueing. Everyone agree?
-
no, i am now focusing on how you should take what we say seriously, not debate us on saying that you are mature when you do not understand maturity.
-
In reply to: ...the original poster is 13! TOO YOUNG to handle all of the things that we're tossing on the table in this discussion. okay....i tend to forget that we have youngens here.i think this is turning to a morality/ethics issuse!? i have to stay out of it....or I'll go on and on. j/k lol
-
If I told you not to breathe would you listen? no....Kids..again..do things because. If we always listened how will we learn? Stop trying to pave the road, cushion the blow, sugar coat it...ok maybe not. But kids are stupid, they will get smarter through experiences. So w/e, if kids wanna have sex fine. If kids don't then fine. But they're just experimenting with lives..life's too short to always listen to everyone...
