Should teens be allowed to have sex?

I am just making this debate and no I am not interested in having sex when I am a teenager. 

Yes

Well it certainly shouldn't be illegal. Although I'd expect the parents to advice against it.

I think if a teenager feels ready to do it and they're doing it whether the parents permit them or not. Really then parents should allow the teenager to choose and offer them all the support they can so they can do it in a safe way.

I'm not interested in having sex until I'm older, but I don't think it should be banned for teens.

First of all, how would you enforce it?

Second of all, why would you do this? It's not fair to teenagers to take away their right to do what they want with their body. As long as they're both in consent, I don't see a problem with it.

The most you should do is educate them on the dangers of STIs and pregnancy, and make birth control and STI screenings readily available.

Yes. They are human beings too, and, sex being one of the most natural things one could participate in, they should be allowed. Not that they really give a damn about what people say anyway.

No, teens are not at the age of responsibilty. They could not manage having a child; espicially when they haven't yet left home.

Side: No

No not really. I don't think it's something they should be doing when the responsibilities associated with sex, is usually more than most teens can handle. By responsibilities I mean children.

Side: No

No because contraception can fail and underage pregnancy has a higher risk of complications.

Both these are true for women over 35 too.

No, it should not be permitted. There's not much to gain and too much to lose in the long run.

Side: No
