>Only a 13 year-old's mentality would postulate that there could exist "consensual" sex between 13 year-olds. I'm appalled that even YOU would have made such an ignorant and idiotic statement. I just had this conversation with three other people roughly my age, including my girlfriend. They all agreed with me that the problem is not that the kids are having sex, but that no one's taught them how to do it in a responsible manner. Granted, we're in Boston, but... -Z

Responsible adults comprehend that 13 year-olds do not need to be engaging in sexual activity. 13 year-olds most assuredly want it for themselves, but that doesn't mean it is sensible or appropriate behavior. Well no age group "needs" to engage in sexual activity. The question is whether it is healthy and beneficail or unhealthy and detrimental. I would say with the current mentality about sex in the US its the latter, but the country would be better off if it changed its values and policies such that sex between young people could become the former. Why should young boys be able to wrestle with each other, but young boy and girls not be able to engage in healthy sexual activity with each other?
