 That is a recipe for disaster if you allow them to be alone in the bedroom.
If you are in a hurry to have grandchildren , then it is OK.
Sex and emotions are powerful forces even adults cannot handle, let alone teens.

My parents felt it depended on how responsible/mature I was. I think 18 is old enough as I don't know about the UK but in Australia you're considered an adult at 18.

I guess it depends on how mature they actually are. If you feel they will be responsible and use protection etc then theres not much to worry about.
Having said, the age in the UK to legally have sex is 16 so maybe its best to wait till they reach this age.

Your right they shouldn't be alone at all....if ur home I say they can be in the room but the door can't be locked! Or closed all the way. Cause teens are doing so much now a days. But if they wanna have sex they will find a way! So make sure wit the 17 year old you ask if she needs birthcontrol or know about stds!!! Cause the all think the can tell by the way they look. Cause you may think she's not having sex but if she gets pregnat you will wish you told her about it and where she can get it. But tell her and the other kids to use condoms! Cause they are passing everthing even though they are young
