I think it is totally wrong for someone to have sex at such a young age. Do people really think they are in love when they're 13? It's probably just me, but love is something that is lasting, not something that happens for a couple of months then fails. It's something you work at and honor with marriage. Then have sex. Your virginity is the most sacred and precious thing you could ever give someone, so why waste it on some dope you're probably not going to marry when you're 13?
Well, not everyone wants to get married, for one. Second, not everybody views virginity as sacred. Not to mention, you never know when love will fall. It could be a couple of months after you started dating, a few years after dating, a few years after marriage...

AIDS and STDs aren't the problem. Plenty of married and older people get them. To me, it's the mind-set of the thing. Who wants to be one of those girls, or guys, who are crying to their friends over the phone because they've dated this person for months and gave them their virginity and now things are over? It's disgusting.
The thing is, I'Ve seen plenty of girls crying to their friends after a nasty breakup, sometimes after dating for more then a year. Sometimes they had sex, sometimes they were still virgins. When you love someone, it hurts to break up, especially if the other person is a jerk about it. Breakups can be painful, sex or no sex.

Of course, I'm sure there are plenty of people who have had sex with someone and then grown up to get married. Good for them! They made it work! They rode the ups and downs together and that's something to admire.
But with divorce rates growing and the sex age getting lower and lower, I think the number of people who can make it work are dwindling
But what does having sex at a younger age have to do with divorse rates?
