too young?

[moo]

is it a bad idea 2 start having sex too early in life? and how early is too early?

[bernardo]

If you're still spelling "to" as "2", then you're too young.

dont listen -2- bernardo! your too youn if your not ready or prepared. if u want to have sex then make sure he is safe and use protection! make sure its the right guy please!

Having sex below the legal age is not a wise idea. Both parties involved could get into a lot of serious trouble, and that would be a sad way to end something that should be special.

Essentially there is no right time or wrong time (unless you are below the legal age) to have sex. It is different for everyone. Don't let yourself be pressured into anything, you don't have to prove anything to anyone else. If your partner is pressuring you, tell them your not ready. If they truly love you they will understand. When you feel the time is right take things slowly, don't rush.

Take care moo, all the best.

well yes 'too' early is too early. having sex early is not a problem if you are prepared mentally, physically, and emotionally. could you deal with pregnancy?

Starting to have sex at an early age has been linked to developing cancer of the cervix in later life. However, if you wish to have sex please use condoms, not only to protect against unwanted pregnancy, but also STD's. Oh, and if a boy says he doesn't want to use them then ditch him cause he obviously doesn't care enough about you, or himself, to want you to stay safe.

You can only really have sex when you are sure that you are emotionally and physically ready.This is hard to judge, as you may be so wrapped up in the person (or the moment) that you can't make a "rational" decision. Maybe you could talk to a sibling, friend, parent or even teacher for an objective view.Just remember that you need to be old enough to deal with getting (and dealing with) an STD, pregnancy, and a broken heart. If you aren't positive about the boy (or girl)then it's best to wait. Also if you are aware of them pressurising you, then that's not on. Wait until you are with someone who you LOVE and who loves you back, not who just wants sex.

Sounds like you have been giving it quite a lot of thought which is good. I definitely agree that it shouldn't be a spur of the moment thing when you're young, if your first time ends up being a one night stand I promise you'll regret it big time, even aside from the very important health issues. My first time was a month short of my 16th birthday, with my boyfriend of 1.5 yr who was also my best friend and who i trusted totally, he was also same age as me. We'd been talking about it for prob about 4 months before actually doing the deed... neither of us felt pressured. We split up 1 yr after that, just grew apart. Now, 7 years later, I don't regret it at all and I'm so glad he was my first. We are still good friends! But on the other hand, we were talking about it the other day, and both agreed that if any child of ours was having sex that young we'd go ballistic!!!! Funny how things change... just give it LOTS of thought and try and think about how you might feel about it in the future (though I do realise this is pretty much impossible!).
