Teens are going to have sex. It's pretty much unavoidable with all the hormones flowing around 16 and 17 year olds. Instead of teaching them that it's wrong because...we say so, and then punishing them for it, we should try to educate them as much as possible on how to enjoy it safely and morally (i.e., full consent and such). Adjudicating against them just seems to screw up their views of sexuality more, not to mention slapping them with a record.
