I agree that if one thinks one is old enough to have sex, one is also old enough to live up to all the consequences and responsibilities.

And as human we need to know the balance with instinct, desires, consequence and responsibilities despite that sex is a natural instinct. This is not just for teenager but the society as a whole.

I think educating our kids, making them fully aware of the consequences (especially the natural ones) is the best measure against any unwanted consequences.
There is something I saw previously which I thought somewhat relate :-

"Unexamined shame on either the individual or societal level becomes an almost insurmountable obstacle to the realization of inner wholeness and true connection with others, because shame reveals us all as lesser, worthless, deficient - in a word, profoundly and unspeakably inferior."
-Gershen Kaufman & Lev Raphael


Thanks for this!
