Is underage sex bad behaviour?
I dont think theres any straight answer to this because it depends on the circumstances.
Personally legally I was underage when i "did it" for the first time i was in a long term relationship and it just happened, at the time i didnt think much of it, but now im in a longer term relationship and am not bit older i can honestly say i wish i had waited!
The picture to the left about the 13 year old dad intrigued me, i found a video of him on youtube holding the baby,
When they speak to him they ask him how hes going to support the baby financially and his reply was "whats that mean?" The mother of the child is only 15 and as a couple they decided to keep it and not to have an abortion, it just makes you wonder how they took it so far and made such grown up decisions. I remember sex education when i was at school and it honestly wasnt all that great and looking back now it makes me realise no wonder young kids havent got a clue of the responsibilty involved especially at the age of 13.
What happens if you have underage sex?
The law sees it as sexual assault - it's a criminal offence. This is because in the eyes of the law we are unable to give informed consent to sex when still a child.
A boy who has sex with a girl under 16 (17 in NI) is breaking the law. Even if she agrees.
If she is 13-15, the boy could go to prison for two years.
If she is under 13 he could be sentenced to life imprisonment.
A girl age 16 or over who has sex with a boy under 16 can be prosecuted for indecent assault.

In some respects i wonder if a young couple are having sex then it is between them and the law wont no so that doesnt help i dont think the issue is having sex before your supposed to. Lets face it i have a younger sister and the amount her and her friends go on about sex and how there all "doing it" its just what people do now... Sex to many doesnt mean as much as it used to it literally is just sex with no love or attachment... Personally rather than trying to stop underage sex i think instead people should tackle the lack of knowledge about protection and target sex education its always going to happen people will always do it underage especially if there in a long relationship so shouldnt we look at stopping pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases...
All in all i wouldnt say its bad behaviour it most circumstances...
