A (sort-of) good sign is that 13-y.o. girls may be allowed to get the pill without prescription[^] in the UK - if that cuts the teenage pregnancy rate then it is a good thing (as a kid when you are still that yourself is going to ruin at least two lives). The down side is that it does not encourage the use of condoms, which may cause a rise in STDs. Still, with a few exceptions STD are pretty easy to cure, so on balance I have to say it is a good idea. If you try to legislate against people having sex, all that happens is the problem gets hidden. For about 9 months... [edit]Forgot the linky... :doh: -OriginalGriff[/edit]

No laws will ever stop children fucking. They have the bits to do so, and sooner or later they are going to want to try them out. The only sensible course of action is to accept that many of them will be fucking and educate them to fuck sensibly when they do.

I came across an article here[^]. I do not know about the culture of other countries but India is not very liberal in their lifestyle and we do not give freedom to teenagers for doing anything which may affect them due to lack of the knowledge as their age is concern. What does you think ? Its interesting to know how this things are handled in different cultures and trends.

In the UK 16 is the age of consent, but if both parties are under 16 there is usually no prosecution. Even if the boy is 16 and the girl 15 it is not dealt with. Only when one party is 18 or over and the other is under 16 is there a prosecution.

Other than the odd teacher getting done I've never heard of such a prosecution. Have you examples? :)

A completely ridiculous, unenforceable law. As horrified and upset as I would have been had I found out my daughter was indulging in sex as a teenager I have to face the reality of being a human being: you want sex and there isn't very much that's going to stop you. Rather than, yet again, creating a law that can't be enforced, put that money and effort into education and contraception.

I was 28 she was 17. We have been together for 17 years. What's so wrong with that?

I was 21 she was 17, going on 19 years now.. In the US that would have been statutory if anybody had bothered to report me or any such things. In general here, its when the older partner is more than 3 years older and the minor is exactly that.. a minor.(under 18)
Common sense is not a gift it's a curse. Those of us who have it have to deal with those that don't.... Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow. You can't scare me, I have children.

So how exactly do you insure that they get that information? How do you insure that the information is correct? How is is decided that they have in fact learned it? How are those that make the decision certified?

As India is becoming the most populated peoples on the planet I'd say that this is a moot point!

As the only thing parents can do is show the right direction and its the child who take the instruction in a right way and should not get misleaded. Still if we get misleaded in long life no matter at what age, We then think about our parent advice and than regret why does we didnt follow them.

And as you asked my friend their is no way to read human mind. As of respect the child pretends to be agreed upon the parents advice, but what actually going on in his mind is never be determined.

No one can decide this, Who we are to decide of ones life, just the thing that we are very much protective for our or others child, so we can only advice them that not do the same mistake that many people did in their past. We teach them not only to learn from their own mistake, but learn from others as well. Still if they found making the same mistake means he is the one who did not get the instruction.

Its their personal belief whats right and wrong. Parents who cares for their kids always wants a better future for their kids. I am not telling one should be strictly obedient and should follow all the instruction, but think atleast why each parents teach the same lesson to their kids. Are they just lamb who follows the others? or Are they intelligent enough and had a great experience in their life, and by their knowledge they want to build their kids future better.

Well how does the saying go. Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed. What I read into that is that as soon as a girls body is ready to have children (at age 13 in most cases) the girl will start to experiment with sexual activities. The only thing we can do is to inform them of the possible consequences when they do it in an unsafe manner.
