+7Sex is a natural part of being alive. Everybody does it, some for fun and others just to produce offspring. (Fun fact: Dolphins have sex for fun :). ) No one should be ashamed of it, or feel like a whore for it, or anything like that. I mean, why not do something that feels good? haha :)
I think, maybe, they wait until they are responsible and smart about it.
Rather than trying to stop them, educate them.
why is it okay for someone under 18 to have sex with someone under 18?
The net result is effectively the same.

sorry its an act, at that age they don't know what true love is
Another excuse is “But we are in love!” True love will wait until marriage so that one can show and give his or her whole and complete self to the one that she or he loves. “Sex is a powerful force that can destroy if not used properly. Like atomic power, sex is the most powerful creative force given to man. When atomic power is used correctly it can create boundless energy; when it is used in the wrong way it destroys life. Sex is the same kind of powerful force… But if you play with this powerful force outside the bounds of marriage, it destroys you and those close to you.”(Hanna) “Your virginity is the most precious thing you have to give to your spouse. Once you lose it, nothing in the world can bring it back. Don't lose something so precious in a thoughtless way.”(Hanna) Save your virginity for your future spouse in marriage.

“Love is too powerful for teens to understand,” says junior Ramone Simmons. He believes that teens confuse sex with love and that they’re too young to really understand the meaning of true love. So, he does not think teens know what love is. It seems as if some people think teens have not gone through enough experiences to understand the whole concept.
It seems like people have different inputs on where love comes from. Some say love comes from the heart, not from your age. But some people think that at a certain age, you don’t know what love is.
junior, said, “Teens get confused with the word love.”
When someone says “I love you,” it does not most likely mean that they are in love with you.
A lot of people get confused with that and end up with their heart broken.
Goldy Young, a junior in a teen relationship, says that age shows a lot in a relationship. “Younger teens really don’t know what love is compared to older teens, around the ages 16 and up. All because they have not went through enough experiences to know what it is.”

It can be sometimes be difficult to tell the difference between infatuation and love. This is especially true at the beginning of a relationship. It is easy to think that you have found true love as the intensity of infatuation takes over your life. Love, however, rarely comes on suddenly. It is a slow, gradual process that can only happen after the rush of infatuation starts to ebb.
Infatuation describes the intense range of feelings present at the beginning of most relationships; sweaty palms, rapidly beating heart, butterflies in the stomach. The world is a better, more beautiful place because object of your affection is with you. Every time you touch is thrilling, you remember every conversation, and your thoughts revolve around them. In more common terms, this is a crush. Crushes are a very real, normal part of human life. Everyone experiences at least one crush at some point or another in their lives.
Infatuation is caused by a chemical reaction in the body. The hormones released accounts for some of the feelings of elation. In truth, you are "high" on dopamine. This is an important evolutionary response to meeting a potential future mate. These hormones assure that two people will spend enough time together to possibly produce children, thus ensuring the survival of the special
Love, on the other hand, is a calmer, more mature feeling. It is a sense of stability. Love is still exciting, at times. It can change day-to-day. Love takes work. The feelings are not supported by the highs of hormones, but by a shared love and respect for each other. Love is what exists after infatuation fades, if you are lucky.
Infatuation and love are different in many ways. While both result in pleasant feelings, the feeling of infatuation is more intense than the feeling of love. Love may not be as intense, but it is usually a much deeper emotion. Relationships that start as infatuation can mature into love.
One of the biggest differences between infatuation and love is how long each can last for. Infatuation can last, at most, several months before it starts to fade. Love, on the other hand, is capable of lasting fifty years or more, if both people in the relationship work for it. Infatuation is almost effortless. Anything put into the relationship is because you want to. Everything you do for the other person brings great pleasure for you, too. This isn’t always the case in love. You do things that you don’t want to do, things that you will get no pleasure from, because it is the fair thing to do. Love is about compromise.
Infatuation and love are both different in the amount of unpleasant tension that is part of the relationship some days. Infatuation discourages any real disagreements from taking place. You both are on your best behavior during all the time you spend together. Anything that could cause a discrepancy to the idea of a perfect relationship is avoided. Everything is perfect, and no one wants to mess that up.
Love allows people to be who they really are. While arguments aren’t encouraged, they happen. Sometimes they happen a lot, especially in times of stress. Love is admitting that your partner has faults, and so do you, but that is okay. You have realistic expectations of each other. Love is accepting.
Infatuation and love are two separate emotions, and there are many differences between them. They are, however, similar in some ways. Infatuation is like a shiny new pair of dress shoes, where as love is the comfy old sneakers you’ve had for years. Infatuation is fun, while it lasts. Eventually, though, the night out ends, and you slip into the sneakers that fit perfectly, even if they are starting to give at the seams and the tread is worn out. This is what happens in relationships. As the brilliance of infatuation fades, couples move into a contented place where, even if there are problems, they know they can depend on one another to provide the love and support they need. That is the difference between infatuation and love.
the idiotic things people do for pleasure only to have that pleasure overtaken by humiliation, shame, grief, and suffering.
By the way, I don't agree with you. That wasn't the point of my post though.
I really hope you change your mind. before you end up saying something along the lines of:
"This is incredible, mom, and it really doesn't seem possible. it's some kind of mistake, i think. it looks to me like somebody, somehow got me pregnant."
"oh honey, i love you, i really do, but I've got to tell you I've been feeling nauseated since we've been hanging out in the back of your van."
"I thought love was supposed to make you feel good. Why do I feel like vomiting all the time?"
"you're kidding! I can't be pregnant! I'm certain I kept most of my clothes on!"
"We've done it once in our lives and now I'm pregnant. Nobody is that potent, are they?"
"He told me five times that he was sterile."
"This really makes me mad. He said he has lots of experience doing this and nobody ever gets pregnant!"
"He said if I really love him I should prove it by sleeping with him; Honest! He said he wanted to sleep with me, he never mentioned the other stuff he intended to do."
"it must have happened when I was asleep! really, as far as I can remember, I wasn't even around when I got pregnant!"
"he said if we used a colorful, French condom everything would be fine."
"Why can't the guys get pregnant for once??"
"That guy was so rude! we were kissing in his corvette a...

"Why don't guys take these things as seriously as girls do?"
these quotes are from the book Teen Sexuality, A Humorous Guide to a Serious Matter, by Rolf McEwen.
I was merely pointing out that - once again - abstinence isn't sex. Because you tried to say in your first post that the best sex is no sex. And I was just pointing out the error in your logic.
Also, the girls in those quotes sound naive and stupid.
with a mindset like yours, I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up saying one of those lines in the next couple years.
I do imagine there are odd couples out there who are truly in love and ready to have sex, under the age of 18, but I don't think that speaks true for most.
can't really pin a specific age to it
