It might seem too young...but it happens, and let's be honest, there are far worse things in the world than underage sex.

And that is probably the biggest flaw in your argument, at 13-16 you may feel mature, legally you cant work to support your offspring, you have to rely on others. your body be be capable of having young, its not recommended, one of the biggest causes of cervical cancer is overdoing sex at too early an age. As for being emotionally capable of having sex and coping with the result of that decision,

While sex is fun at any age (after puberty of course) there are a lot of potential repercussions even adults dont understand till later life.

While it may be true people are maturing earlier in life physically and mentally they are also supposedly under more pressure at school etc. Do they also need the added stress o being responsible for another life.

Another point to consider is that this kind of implant indirectly helps contribute to rising STD rates. With people deciding not to use a parallel barrier form of contraceptive to prevent spread of sexually transmissable diseases.
