Hi there. 12 is well below the age restriction to legally acquire and watch porn. But we have to be realistic and the internet has made such age restrictions impossible to enforce. The number of girls and guys of 12 who 'have have got porn on their phones' or 'watched porn on their laptop' and so on is going to be quite high. In the 14-15 age group (still technically illegal) it will be higher still. When something is so widespread it is hard to say if it is right or wrong, good or bad. I assume you first viewed porn out of curiosity? And I have to assume that you did not find what you saw shocking, disgusting or upsetting in some way? If these assumptions are correct then one has to say that it has not harmed you in any way, so it cannot be said to be bad, as such. At the end of the day, it is only pictures. If the actors/models in the pictures/video were consenting adults aged 18 or over at the time of filming then nothing illegal or unacceptable has taken place in filming and distributing the material. (Child-pornography is of course a VERY different matter. Just the existence of images proves that real, very unpleasant, illegal and unacceptable acts have taken place...and anyone even wishing to view images like this is behaving in an unacceptable way. I hope you are NOT accessing and viewing anything like this, even by accident?).
