I find it a challenge to accept this as well. For me it's an exercise in open mindedness.
You know these things are under heavy influence of culture and religion. If you are a moral person who believes in good and bad, then the idea of a teenage girl being sexually active seems just plain wrong. You wouldn't have any doubts about it.
However, if you were to ask a number of psychiatrists and philosophers whether sexual behavior under 16 is healthy or not and you might hear different answers. They aren't so sure.
It's hard to let go of moral bias.
