i probably would im not very good at restraining myself At the age of sixteen I can drive, have sex, own property, marry (with parental consent), smoke cigarettes and drink wine, beer and cider. Chances are I'll buy a shit tonne of stock and land and sell it when I go into college and learn to drive but aside from that I won't exorcise any of my new legal rights. |

Because they can, I think. In my years at high school, I think I've seen two pregnant girls. Heck, I remember a rumor that went around during the eight grade dance that two people were having sex in one of the closets. Living for the moment at such a young age is a good way to fuck up your life for decades to come. Chances are no good work, education or social opportunities will present themselves to the pregnant girls once that's on their permanent records and if they decide to get paternity tests done chances are the father's life will be fucked as well. |

Mm, yea. I know. I didn't know any of them personally. |

I request that people do not take this to mean that I am completely against sex before marriage, which I am not. I am, however, against highschool students fucking like rabbits when they are physically mature enough but not socio-emotionally mature enough. Hell, in all honesty I signed a petition sometime back to move back the age of consent and the age of alcoholism to 25 due to the fact that college years and early work years are where people are making names for themselves and it would help present people fucking their lives over with illegitimate children and alcoholism. |

Mm, yea. I know. I didn't know any of them personally. What does it matter if you know them closely? Their lives will be shit from now on because of a mistake they made in highschool. Not only that but they also have to raise children at... What, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen? |

I agree, xD. Did I point out that I am male and that male individuals are typically characterized as wanting to have sex as much as possible and that I'm a teenager and that teenagers are typically characterized as wanting to have all the legal rights that adults have without the responsibilities? God, I love how much I break away from stereotype... |

I explicitly pointed that fact out to emphasize how much I diverge from the common viewpoint. Hell, I'd say that even romantic relationships during highschool are a bad idea due to the fact that often one partner tries to pressure the other into sex and that if things go badly often underage people are forced to work together for school projects and whatnot and that can lead to pure awkwardness. |

So it is statistically an extreme anomaly for a highschool relationship to end up in anything aside from underage sex or awkwardness during group projects, and even then there's bound to be a falling out eventually (according to statistics). |

Yea, that's true. Though, my grandparents defied the statistics, I think. They dated in high school, and then both joined the military. Still married now. |

I'm used to pessimism and cynicism but I honestly can't find anything bad in this. I guess they might have killed some people in the military, but whatever, right? |

Maybe 25 is a bit extreme, but in all honesty drinking is something that seems easier to deal with than sex so the sex age should at least be equal to the drinking age. The other alternative is give sexed at an age higher than eleven, such as 14 or 15 when the kids won't say things such as "gross he's naked" due to lack of the sexual maturity that they're learning about. |

He nearly succeeded in getting to Korea before they found out that he was underage. |

but she was 23
i feel that would be an acceptable age honestly, as long as you were married and at least one of the soon-to-be-parents had a steady job that had enough income to already support the parents, and ready to support a new addition to the family

Probably because my mom rejected my dad for yeas and didn't want kids. |
