+318 When people only lived to 40, it was necessary to have children soon after reaching puberty. Now that our life span has doubled, most decide to wait until their 20s. Our bodies did not change with our social customs, however, so we still go through puberty at a young age. It makes sense, then, that young teens quickly fall in "love," because that is what humans are designed to do at that age: become physically attracted and mate, amirite?

I know! I hate it when people say that teenagers aren't "mature" enough to have sex

Mentally. Not physically. And even then most teenage girls bodies can't handle a baby. My general rule is if you can't handle a baby, you can't have sex.

Aren't you like 13 or something? Have you actually even in that position?

by Anonymous 11 years ago

when do people ever say that. and that's a really stupid stance, should poor people just never have sex?

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Oh my god. I just said if your body can handle it. I didn't mention sti's at all. Jarden, were you talking to me? Because if you were, it doesn't fucking matter if I have been in that position or not. I'm not thirteen but even if I was, fuck you. Age is NOT an indication if maturity and you know NOTHING about my life

To rephrase my original comment: it's not that you can't have sex, it's that you generally shouldn't.

I am thirteen as well, an I do agree with your point. But Id have to say, getting angry over someone voicing their opinion and cussing them out is generally not very mature.

They were being a total idiot. And so was I, now that I look back. These comments were written a long time ago, and I have since changed. I still don't think that it's okay for thirteen year olds to be having sex. And I will never think it's okay.

11 days is a long time, now?

OH. Looking back at the last comment I thought it was from a different thread.

...I was a week a way from my 15th birthday when I got mine. I am pretty small for my age but still, it was awkward that I was literally the only girl I knew my age without it

Are we the same person? The exact same thing happened to me except it was the day before I turned 15

So it wasn't the exact same thing

mine started when I was 12. I had such terrible pains in my stomach that day that I couldn't even get out of bed without cringing. so I stayed home from school, and then it happened.
