kids had sex and got married at 13-15 back in the day
Which is fine if they're actually getting married and not treated as children legally. The issue arises when there's no commitment and the men can't support their women.
I won't lie and say my ideology isn't driven by feelings of having missed out in my youth and thus a desire to see others live in a similar manner but I stand by it.
In one of my anthropology classes, we were reading about women and how often they had babies. The average number of pregnancies an 18 year old female had was 3. They know this because they can count the number of babies females had based on the hip bones (it leaves signs like unto tree ring, I shit you not).
But they didn't get those kids by slutting around in school with random guys like is encouraged now. In the modern day is unacceptable and often illegal for a teen to get married and discouraged to have kids, yet teenage sex is treated as normal, it's fucking disgusting and an absolute inverse how how it should be where sex should be shamed unless reproductive.

100% agreed. My great grandmother was married at 15 to her 17 year old husband. She had 2 kids by 18. And they stayed married the rest of their lives. That's how they "did it" back then. And it worked. People are too selfish these days. So quick to divorce or just act like pieces of shit with not self-awareness.
teenage sex is treated as normal
Because it is normal. It is normal behavior and they are programmed to make babies. I don't mean to bring anything religious up but that's the way God intended it to be. Flood the kids with tons of hormones right after puberty and turn them into adults nearly overnight so they can start making babies before they die at a ripe old age of 30.
So what do we do with this new weird time frame where teens aren't getting married and pairing off at 14-16 like they used to? They are just going to bang like wild animals just like God made them to. Best we can do is ensure parents teach them proper sex education (which includes how to avoid rape scenarios, contraceptives, and abstinence until marriage talks). I think the government should supply Computer Based Education and allow parents to approve which types of CBE the kids go through. Cuts down on teen pregnancy.
