I disagree with some of your post although i agree with the age of consent rant. The age of consent needs to be changed, it doesn't have much to do with age but more to do with maturity of the person in question.
" They don't think you have the right to decide when you want to have sex and with whom because they say you don't have the psychological and emotional maturity to make those decisions. To me that really means that they think your brain is underdeveloped and that you have an inferior intellect. " Both wrong. Its not that parents want you to wait cuz they think you are stupid or can't handle it psychological. Its the repercussions of your actions you dont fully understand. While you are underage, you do not have the responsibility of life. You dont even have to buy your own clothes or food. How is it ok to put the responsibility of sex/baby in your own hands. Lord knows you can't handle it. No matter how strong or responsible you thin k you are. You're not. You would in no way be able to handle a baby. The bills. And the responsibility of life. That's why you must grow up and learn how to. All you know how to do is go to school and do homework. Awesome keep it up. You need skills and a path before you can take matters into your own hands. Would you want to have a child one day and have them tell you that they know it all. That they are able to have sex and go out and make their own curfew. When you are their parent Its you rules. You wouldnt want to have to pay for your child's mistake because they couldn't listen to you. As far as tattoos and piercings. No again. They want you to understand that one day you will feel different. You just will. You will wonder why you ever stuck a piece of metal through your body or ever got that tattoo of a star on your hip. etc. etc. The rules are their for you to understand that you cant break them. Real life has the same rules. In a round about way. You need to understand if you break their rules there will be consequences as in the real world. Everything they do is to prepare you. You have no idea. And the day you realize why they do what they do, You'll be like "ohhhhhhhhhhh". It will be a good day. 
I disagree with you on a few aspects of your post. I never mentioned anything about a child, having a child would depend on the person in questions mentality and their financial situation. If a teenager who has a child has a middle class-wealthy family and a family member that could look after the child when the teenager cannot i don't see the negative impact it could have on the teenager. I know a woman (she is now 30) who had a child when she was 17, She and her child turned out just fine and live a perfectly normal, healthy life. The things you mentioned are not limited to only teenagers, i have seen people who are well into adulthood and have had children and cannot look after them. Sexual intercourse doesn't = reproduction. Anyway the age of consent in my country (Australia) is 16.

"If a teenager who has a child has a middle class-wealthy family and a family member that could look after the child when the teenager cannot i don't see the negative impact it could have on the teenager. " wtf? Really? You dont see the negative impact of a child having a child? You dont see whats wrong with the fact its not ok for someone who cant even raise themselves to have another person to take care of? Oh you think that is what a family member is for. Regardless of economic status. Its wrong. Yes sex does not necessarily mean a baby. Thats beside the fact that, that could be the outcome. It doesnt matter how many examples of teenage pregnancy went fine, that you have seen. Its the fact that, you can tell she is a child. Period. The fact that she is so up in arms about not having the same rights as some one who is an adult. Fuck age. Age is a number. Adulthood and maturity come with experience. And you can get plenty of that without having a child, without bitching about sexual consent. Without bitching about curfew. Whatever. Im sick of writing about how children dont understand shit. They and you people hate to hear it, but guess what? You will understand when you are older. Hopefully, thats saying that they mature and learn from their lessons and their parents who obviously aren't in the wrong. Post edited at 2:46 pm on July 2, 2009 by Placebo Effect

I agree with the poster. We're seen as children and treated as children so a lot of teenagers act as if they are. I get what the other people are saying that we're not adults. That's obvious but not being adults doesn't mean we're children. That's why the three stages have different names.

Okay then, What is the negative impact? Say i decide to have a kid at this age (16). My family is relatively wealthy so money is not an issue which means i can provide food, clothes, shelter and pretty much anything else that is needed. When i am at school i can have my mother look after the child, when i am out of school i can look after the child. What is the negative impact? I'm not saying that every scenario would be like mine but explain why mine would be negative.

What is wrong about it? 
It's my opinion that a child should be raised by his own parents not his/her grand parents. Just because the daughter didnt want to be safe and use protection, that doesnt mean that good ol mom gets to take care of the child. How is that right? You haven't even passed English 4 but yet you can raise a child. You haven't had any real life experience but yet its okay to have a baby. You dont even know what its like, to not give up your time to the school system. Its not right that the grandma has to raise the child. Plus, as far as bonding goes, its like wtf. Miss his/her first step, first words, first everything most likely on top of everything else. If you can't understand my reasons or any other reasons why it would not be 'ok' to have a baby at 16, well then you clearly aren't mature enough to have one.
