AGE LIMIT FOR SEX?
Posted: 07-23-03 03:28am

i AM 14 YEARS OLD AND I KNOW THAT THAT IS KIND OF YOUNG 2 BE HAVING SEX BUT I WANT 2 BE RESPONSIBLE ABOUT IT, WHY IS THAT CLINICS SAY THAT YOU HAVE TO BE 17 TO BE TESTED FOR ANY STD? DO YOU AGREE WITH THIS?

im 14 years old and just had sex with my boyfriend without a condom...ive called about every clinic in my area asking if i could get a test to see if i was pregnant or the morning after pill...i think its unfair that you have to be 17 what am i supposed to do now? if i wait until i can take a pregancy test and it will be accurate and i am pregnant what am i supposed to do then? id rather find out now and take the morning after pill but because im underage i cant? i think its very unfair...

You are doing one mature thing here,that I have seen.You are concerned about testing .You are playing in an adult field...sex is meant to be a way to multiply,pleasure is an added bonus. Since you insist on doing such a "grown up" thing then take responsibility for your actions.You should be tested if your sexually active.Since the laws in your state say you have to be a certain age or have adult consent ,you should step up to the big person plate and do the"mature" thing....tell your parents.If you can't mange this ,then consider yourself too young too be doing that adult thing.

i guess this is just another good thing about being in canada....no age limit. i do not think there should be an age limit, as it will only cause more problems down the road. by making services and INFO available to everyone, regardless of age, at least there is a chance more kids under the age of 16 will be more responsible for their actions, and hopefully reduce the chances of teen pregnancy and STDs. kids are constantly told to use condoms, and go on the pill, etc, but how are these kids able to protect themselves if the doors are being closed on them? although I think 14 is too young to be having sex, i still believe that the more precautions made available to these kids, the better and more responsible they will be with their actions.

what in god's name are you doing having sex when you are 13 yrs old girl!!!! thats just flipping crazy. if you were my kid id kill you. not to sound mean or anything but seirously you need to get your priorities straight. you probably feel sick b/c you are worrying so much. if you think youre pregnant then take a test or go to a doctor and have blood drawn. morning sickness is definetly a sign of being prego along with upper body soreness and fatigue. my advice to you is to hold off on the sex sister. there is no way that guy loves you when you are only 13 yrs old.

Just to answer the question, you wouldn't even notice any signs of being pregnant for more than a month from now... You're probably just feeling sick because it's pretty hard on girls, even when ur older, their first few times.

What The....?
Posted: 08-20-04 04:42am

What the hell are you doing having sex at 13???? I'm almost 15 and that is the furthest thing from my mind, thank you very much!
To anwser the first question, I do not think that the information should be withheld from anyone at any age, but I do hold to the belief that people should at least wait until they are somewhat mature to start having sex, ya know 17/18. Call me old fashoned, but i'm personally gonna wait till i'm married. Wink if you can't at least commit to sharing your life with this person, you shouldn't be at risk of having to commit to bringing another life into this world. A child's life is worth more than that. Don't get me wrong, I love kids, espically when they're little. Laughing they're so cute! But I also respect them, believe it or not. Anyways, i'm babbling.
Good luck to all of you!
