First of all, Laura do you really think that it's ok for our 14 and 15 year old children to be out there having sex? Second of all, look at what kids do that is against the law now and have for the most part pretty tough punishments for. Smoking under 18 yrs of age (in the US), drinking under the age of 21 (again in the US), drugs. I say in the US on the first 2 examples because I don't know the age restrictions in other countries. The first time a 14, 15 even a 10 year old is told that they CANNOT have sex till they are say 18 years old that is EXACTLY what they are going to go out and do. No, sex education, not only through the schools but also at home is the answer to stopping our young teans from having sex or at the very least protecting themselves and their partners when having sex. Something else that will help is to have more parents who actually care what their children are doing, where they are going, and who they are with. I'm not saying put a chain on the kid but know what they are up to, help them learn right from wrong. Unfortunately we don't have enough parents who care enough about their kids to be a bit strict with them but yet still let them be themselves!!!! Em
