Also, there isn't 100 % agreement here at all ; not even amongst all adults, on most subjects.
You may think that , at 17, you are more grownup than an 11 or 12 year old. You haven't proved that on this thread.
Not sure what the first 5 words are supposed to form...anyway. Am I a minnow? I think this is a very simple debate. I don't care who others sleep with as long as it doesn't affect me. Conservatives think otherwise because they want to run others lives for them. Good luck. It won't work. I believe it is the parents job to teach their children what they want them to believe. Much of the time, a child will come to disagree with a parent and form their own life philosophy.
Should 12 year-olds be engaging in sex? No. From an biological point of view, the bodies of many a twelve year old cannot handle childbirth nor are their emotions developed enough to handle such activity. It's all fun and games at that time.
