To me being moral is living my life the best way I can while making an effort not to hurt any other people. There is a definite difference between right and wrong and I try to do the right thing even when doing the wrong thing would be easier. People can quibble until the end of time about what is “right” but I’m a firm believer that everything you ever needed to know you learned in Kindergarten. Stealing is wrong, inflicting pain is wrong, etc.
My only “moral” objection to minors having sex is the following. Children are the natural consequence of sex. Can a 16 or 17 year old support a child financially and emotionally without being a burden to society these days? In some cases yes, but in most cases no. If one were able to remove the prospect of having children from this equation I would have no issue with an emotionally stable 16 year old being sexually active if they so wish. Not however, on a public school bus. There is a time and place for everything.
I do think that there is a decline in much of today’s society. In my opinion that decline comes in the form of lack of personal responsibility. We make so many excuses for bad behavior; everything is someone else’s fault. People seem to make decisions these days without thought to the consequences.
