    you could say that about many laws, if your old enough to have sex your old enough to face the consequences in my view. e.g. a 14 year old can hardly bring up a child.so if your not old enough to face the risks, then dont!

    Good point, but why discriminate against young people, why let drug addicts and alcoholics have sex.

    lol cos they are too stoned/drunk to know what they are doing!
    In many peoples eyes, sex is for adults not for children. I agree with the age but thats cos I wasnt interested untill then. People mature at different levels though.

    The point I've been trying to make throughout these debates is that the Law is not the best way to deal with underage sex, look at the statistics it doesn't work, it also forces young people into hiding what they are doing.

    Treat 14/15 year olds like adults, show them respect, show them the choices explain to them that they own their bodies and that it's there right to say "no" to sex if they wish.

    How can you tell a young girl that she own's her own body, that virginity is something presious, to be given away only when she is ready, then take the decision out of her hands by saying if you have sex you are breaking the law.

    I didn't know there was an age restriction at Ann Summers, my wife tries to drag me in there sometimes, and I've seen lots of people in there who look like there still at school.

    yeah, if you look young (like me, but im18) they ask for i.d. which is fair enough!

    I'm suprised by that, I wouldn't have thought the stuff they sell in there would be age restricted, as far as I know they don't sell pornography, not sure if vibrators are age restricted, I guess they might be.

    You can go in Ann Summers at any age to buy the lingerie, but you can't go into the restricted section where the vibrators and sex-wear is sold until you are 18.

    They aren't always arsey about it. If you are obviouslky 14 and taking the piss the staff will boot you out, if you are being sensible they normally won't.

    *clears throat*

    Well, I can surely see that this thread was started due to my own thread and would like to thank the one that started this. I know that legally I AM too young, but that wasn't exactly what I was looking for. Everybody is telling me stuff that I already knew and that's really not why I posted. I was curious about the moral side of the issue and very few gave me what I was looking for.

    The age restrictions can get out of hand, but I do agree that one age restriction should not contradict the second one. It just doesn't work that way. :lol:

    maybe its because its designed to help you learn things naturally in your own way, and learns things by your self as you are maturing
