And as far as I'm aware is is not illegal to have consenting sexual intercourse before 18 with someone who is also under 18.
From the universal declaration of their rights:
Principle 7
The child is entitled to receive education, which shall be free and compulsory, at least in the elementary stages. He shall be given an education which will promote his general culture and enable him, on a basis of equal opportunity, to develop his abilities, his individual judgement, and his sense of moral and social responsibility, and to become a useful member of society.
The best interests of the child shall be the guiding principle of those responsible for his education and guidance; that responsibility lies in the first place with his parents.
The child shall have full opportunity for play and recreation, which should be directed to the same purposes as education; society and the public authorities shall endeavour to promote the enjoyment of this right.
Principle 10
The child shall be protected from practices which may foster racial, religious and any other form of discrimination. He shall be brought up in a spirit of understanding, tolerance, friendship among peoples, peace and universal brotherhood, and in full consciousness that his energy and talents should be devoted to the service of his fellow men.
So, unlike you are saying, children ARE entitled of their own beliefs. They should be, at least, according to this.

I was tought how to use a condom at the STD awareness class I attended in 6th grade where they also emphasized abstinance.
Nice google work there. UN
I never said they were not entitled to thier own beliefs. I am talking about actions. While I do believe that it is great for kids to come up with thier own way of viewing things, I also believe that when you are a kid you are very vulnerable and trusting. Kids need to be taken care of, hence they don't have the freedom to put all of these ideas into motion because some of the ideas are harmfull to themselves as well as others.
And you do notice that it says BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD right?
Does a 10 year old have a right to choose to drive a car down the freeway because of free choice? I garantee if you have a couple of 8 year olds fucking and there will be problems. I'm sorry, but as much as I thought I had the right to have sex when I was 16 I WAS WRONG. I did not. I was just a little girl who thought it was cool and could have gotten myself into a lot of trouble. It was not my right to choose. My parents had my best interest in mind when they said I should not.
