I know things are different now but my Mom got pregnant with me at 15, I married my Ex at 17, our Neighbors Daughter had a Baby at 12 which made her Mom Grandmother at 24, know a 14 year old that was trying to get pregnant.
Not saying it is right, just out there and have seen much younger. Such as Prostitution down on the Mexican Border.
Perspective from a guy in his mid 20s, people I knew growing up started losing their V-cards in waves the summer before freshman year of high school. So at around age 15.
I would understand it either way but I would not encourage to having sex. I am "not before marriage"-person myself. I don't judge if my kid does not follow my path.
Nothing wrong with it at all, provided they use protection.
In fact, delaying sex too long may cause as many problems as having sex too early. Sexual intimacy, like all aspects of relationships, needs to be learned. Nobody wants to get stuck dealing with partner who is 25 going on 15...
Somehow, it doesn't seem like there's a long learning curve! As my mom used to say, "it's doing what comes naturally".
I think the later in the teens the better. I remember watching a TV show about teen pregnancy that showed a high school student who'd fathered a child going to prom with someone else. I think there's a maturity issue, no matter how much they "like kids", etc.

Interesting. I don't know many people who lost it that early. 16-17 was more the average around my school.
I would say sex before 16 is not good...at all. Teenagers that young are way too immature to handle it. Also, being 16 doesn't guarantee they are ready for it. I certainly wasn't. I only started warming up to the prospect at 19. I was a late bloomer though.
Well I don't think you can really stop them if they really wanna do it, just teach them about the consequences of unwanted pregnancies and what not, if it's not already obvious, and say if anything happens it's their responsibility.
