On 03/08/06 gary from FL said: i am 16 and i got question because i kissed a 23 year old and i read online that it is legal for 16-23 to be able to have sex and just because i am in foster care they are ridiculous they should be worrying about the kids being abused instead of a harmless kiss
On 02/19/06 Rose from NC said: Kids think they are ready for sex and they are not. Sex is more than a act, everytime you have sex with someone you are having sex with every person they have had sex with in their whole life time. You don't know which one has Aids, HIV, or any other STD. If you can't go get tested for these or are afraid to talk about them, then you are not ready to have sex with anyone. And SEX is different then making LOVE to someone.
On 02/16/06 Mom from MI said: I honestly believe if kids know what sex is all about and they are ready to face any consequences of the act then they are ready to have it. The consequences of sex be prepard..it can be pregnancy, disease, or jail or prison time. My son went out with a girl who told everyone she was 16 years old. He had sex with a girl. Later found out she was only 14. My son walked away with 60 days in jail and probation for 3 years. Im sorry for saying this but teenagers are so eager to have sex they arent thinking about the consequences to others they hurt. Sex isnt worth someones elses life.
On 02/02/06 Kay from NY said: I have had a sexual relationship with someone that is almost 3 years older than me. We were together for a year and a half before we had sex. I believe that if you don't know what you are about to consent to, you shouldn't consent at all. But if you have been with someone for a while and you know you are ready and can give consent, you should be allowed to express your love in the highest form possible.
