Can harm: I don't believe a 12 year old child has the emotional maturity to deal with sexual intercourse. When a person decides to become sexually active - that carries a great deal of responsibility. The responsibility not to get or spread sexually transmitted diseases. The responsibility not to become pregnant (until ready for parenthood). At age 12, sexual activity can have harmful emotional effects.
