I suppose I'll start with what Ostinato said, as I can remember that best. I completely agree, and hold that view myself and always have done. If you've even got half a brain you'll use protection etc, and if you want to keep the relationship going you'll make sure your partner is ready first.
The person who said the thing about law, I personally dont believe the law has any significant input into your decision, or at least shouldn't. The law is there as a guideline, and although it is actually a law, no-one is looking for underage people who have had sex and is locking them all up. the law is merely there so brainless people who thing they're hard (chavs) don't go and get pregnant (not that it's stopped many chavs yet, but you can only hope).
But this of course is not counting religion. If you religion doesn't permit it, don't go against it. It is primarily your choice which religion, if any, you follow, and since you have chosen it yourself, you should follow the rules. You cannot call yourself a true follower otherwise.
My personal opinion is you are never too young past about 13 when you have at least started puberty, but don't go and waste your first time. Make it special, plan it if needs be and make sure it's something you can remember for the rest of your life as a good thing. You only have one shot at a first time. Aside from that, go for it, let it happen and enjoy it.
And in case you haven't already guessed, no, I'm not, and I don't care what anyone else thinks. Im happy with my decision and even if i wasn't, i can't change it now.
And just in case you wanted to put that into context, I'm 14, so please take my advice if you want, but don't use it as a concrete law.
