Is 13 Too Young To Have Sex? My Boyfriend And I Have Been Going Out For 6 Months.

If you are living in Britain, the law is very clear on this point: sex is illegal before the age of 16. If you break the law and anyone finds out, there could be serious consequences: your boyfriend would technically be a sex offender and could find himself on a national register. Once you have been convicted of a sexual offence, this can stay on your record for life.

Apart from the legal aspect, 13 really is very young. Most people's bodies are not fully mature at this age, and also it's really too young to deal with issues like avoiding pregnancy; this is a complicated business and a lot of responsibility, and the consequences can be really serious if you make a mistake.

The fact that you are asking this question shows that you are taking a sensible and serious approach; so I hope you will take this advice, keep the law and wait until you are older (it may not feel like it now, but you really will have plenty of time later.)

13 is way too young to even be thinking about sex. Have you thought about the consequeces that could be involved? Pregnancy? STD's? Emotional feelings? Responsibilities? It has its advantages as well as its disadvantages.

Suppose you get pregnant. How will you care for a child when you are entirely too young to have a job and plus you are still in school? Be smart about it. Stay a kid as long as you can. I mean, you don't have any responsibilities. You can hang out with your friends anytime that you want, go to parties, go to dances, sleep all weekend long.If you and your boyfriend produce a child, all of that will change. No more hanging out or going to parties, to the movies.You will be a mommy. Enjoy being boyfriend and girlfriend. You don't have to have sex now. Wait!

By all means, wait as long as you can to actually know all of the feelings that come along with having sex and all of the consequences. Nowadays it has so many things going around that Doctor's can't find cures for. HIV is one of them which is the lead cause of death in the US right now. Don't put that hardship on yourself babygirl or your family. Be smart.Think Smart. I know you'll do the right thing!

Heck yes girl! I would still be expecting you to be playing with barbie dolls or just now finding out about your period or something but not sex. Let me tell you girlfriend it only takes one time for you to get pregnant and at 13 girl you REALLY DON"T WANT THAT!!! So I said wait a while - in fact wait a few years!

The thing is that, everything has an age and 13 is way too young for sex. Just think, once you are older and you've already had sex, there will not be as much enjoyment to it as there might have been.
