Wait a second. Are you talking about "teens" or "teenagers?" There is a difference, you know. I think that it should only be done if the people in question are very, very mature and have a real understanding of what their actions can lead to but also have a true appreciation of what they're doing. This necessarily requires being in the later years of teenage hood, from 16-18. I have a friend who has a girlfriend with whom he has had sex, and it's going great for him. The main difference is that he takes precautions, and should the precautions fail, he's ready to take responsibility for his actions. He also has a very good understanding of what "love," if you will, is about. He has stuck with his girlfriend for 2 years, and frankly, I congratulate him for it. In most cases, however, people aren't ready to do it, even if they are 16 or 17, because they don't understand what they're doing. I said "disapprove" merely because I disapprove of the majority of instances in which teenagers have sex. |
