I read about a girl who had sex with a boy at school but when they were caught she accused him of raping her. There are so many stories you hear about kids and sex that it turns the stomach. When you go online to places where you can ask questions, answer questions, or chat you see kids on there around 12, 13, and 14 asking what to do because they are pregnant and scared to tell mom. Some of these claim the to be dad is 20 and older. This sickens me to see kids going online and asking strangers about sex. To know they go online and ask the type of questions they do. It amazes me that so many parents seem to be clueless. We have a problem with kids having kids. We also have a problem with poor role models, women having alot of kids and not being able to support them. Girls are getting pregnant and using abortion like birth control. There was a girl one day,19, asking if she should have her 5th abortion. What is our world coming to?

Some benefits of the law would be less men in jail, if they can't have sex until they are 18 then there is not going to be as much sex with minors going on.
If the girls are held responsible for their actions as well as the guys then they will learn to control themselves and maybe get some self respect back.
If it were controlled there wouldn't be so many kids having kids.
There would not be so many kids put up for adoption.
Kids would have the chance to actually be kids.
Girls could grow into women before having children,there whole experience will be so much better.
I had my son when I was 16 and my youngest at 26. There was a huge difference in the experience. I got to enjoy my last pregnancy much more because my body was better prepared for it, my mind was prepared for it, I knew more about what to expect, and it was a beautiful thing. I took great care of my son, I dropped out of school and stayed home with him and never left his side. Not many young girls will do that. The others who had kids were still running around and leaving their kids with who ever would keep them.
With age you become more able to cope with children as well.
Kids are getting by with way to much these days. They need to know that there is a line that can't or shouldn't be crossed. Parents need to open their eyes and put a stop to kids doing whatever whenever they please. I think to some point parents need to be held responsible as well. They leave their kids at home alone, let them run around at all hours, and generally just do what they want as long as the parent can do as they please. Adults have forgotten what is important and that is our children; not the type of vehicle we drive, how big our house is, or the size of our bank account. I hear from women all the time about how they have to work instead of stay at home, when in reality they don't have to work unless the hummer3, Playstaion3, four wheelers, etc are must haves. Some women work so they can have more material things not to support the things they have to have to survive. So stay home with your kids one night and teach them that it's not okay to do what they please. They need to know where the line is and that it's not a line they want to cross.I do hope to see a law where sex is only legal after a certain age and hopefully right behind it will be one saying you can't have more kids than you can pay for. I think we will then be on the right track.
