    i think cassie from ca makes a good point. i mean i am 23 married and have kids but i was that age once and you are born with the ability to love and just because you are not 18 does not mean that it is not ok to love it is your god givin ability. why would you be given that ability to not use it?it does not have an on and off switch or it does not just turn on on your 18th birthday you were built to love from day one. you young ones it is ok to love but if you are going to be having sex please just play it safe get birth control condoms something you know.

    also my best friends parents had one child by the time the mother was 17 and the father was 25, and married at same age. im being charged with second degree sexual assualt in the state of wisconsin, and i have to say that the only reason that is is because we got "caught" and no other reason than that. anyone that tells you "no," in my experience, has already done what they are telling you not to do. automatically making that person a hyporcrite, im also going to state that unless a person has personally experienced the situation they cannot make an accurate judgment on the situation at hand

    the fact that people are more commonly relying at least partially on their parents until they are out of college and have a full time job to support themselves. what id like to know is when the laws concerning sexual activity and age limitations on them were approved into the U.S. legal system, and what provoked the legalization of the regulations in effect. btw i am 19 my fiancee just turned 15, and due to a situation im in now ive realized that our nation and its authority is filled with hypocrisy, my mom had two children, me and my older sister by the time she was 18 and was married by 17
