    I think that if you feel you are ready to have sex then you should but also be prepared with a condom. Also think about the consequences I know all about the pregnancy thing and trust me being a teen-mother is much harder than you think. All the crying and noise just think about it okay.

    i think the legal age to have CONSENSUAL sex should be 15 or 16 and NO younger. i just think that under that age, you're considered an "adolescent" and your hormones are still going thru that stage in your life, where 1 minute: you're happy go lucky & the next minute: you're depressed and crying & whatnot. but, i think if you're around 15 or 16 you're starting to get mature enough to make that decision & mature enough to know the consequences & know that you CAN get pregnant. i'm allergic to latex condoms. so, i'm on the pill. unless you're allergic, or what to have a baby, there's no excuse.

    if you think the concent age for sexual intercourse should be at the age of 18 then you should think again because most teenagers have sex even when they are under 16 the majourity of the time.Us at washy school think the age concent should be 15 and over not 18 or 16 because most peopel have already had sexual intercourse with oether their partner or just as a one off occation.
