im in seventh grade (like my other comment said) anyway theres another problem in my school. Blow Jobs. Its something girls thing they could do and wont get hurt in anyway. Theres still stds. But they obviously dont care. I remember one day in class when a teacher caught a bunch of boys seeing which girl was the lowest price to have her give them blowjobs. DISGUSTING its hard to believe theres sluts in my grade. but its true.

guys seriously beg for a blow job. happened to my friend. but she never did it.

Im in seventh grade and i know about 5 girls that had sex in my grade. and apparently there is not alot of virgins in 8th grade to. i mean the only the reason they want to have sex is for the feeling! and cause they think there in love Ha!theres so much perverts in my grade! and i seem to be the prude cause i never even had a kiss on the lips. Society is obviously changing and theres only one thing at fault
- the media

I think that a lot of people don't really care about waiting until marriage. It might be because of how they were brought up and raised.Morals and values from the parents. lack of education and peer pressure. But i think if the kids are going to have sex at least lets make it safe sex and provide services to them as a type of " life line" or something.
Personally I am waiting till marriage its a promise i made since i was younger and plan on keeping it.
I think now(a lot of kids,especially girls) who are Jonas brothers fans are being inspired to get a purity ring and keep the promise to stay pure until marriage,like their idols, the Jonas Brothers. Yes some people may think it is stupid others may think oh I'm not a big religion person. But i think that it is more than that too. Like u may not be very religious but staying pure until u find the right person for you,well- it will help you stay away from aids,unwanted pregnancy and more.
Well those are my thoughts

People at young ages having sex is never going to stop because lots of them are influenced by the media. But most of the time it is becaucse young girls don't have there father to tell them right from wrong. The only thing we could do is promote safe sex.

kids aren't going to stay virgins until they're married, and that isn't realistic. it is important, however, to teach kids about to safe sex and wait until they're old enough to handle the consequences.

I agree with all of you. But teens are going to have sex. Look at the Media. Movies rated PG can have sexual reference in them! So teens are, whether it's subconscious or not, seeing sex in the media, and identifying it with love. I know my mother has always been very open with me about the issue. But, honestly...that didn't stop me. And I didn't realize the true repricussions until I was faced with them. No matter what anyone says, a teenager who thinks (s)he is in love, is not going to say no to sex. I think the best thing to do is make sure they are protected, and that parents do their best to keep kids away from situations in which they would have the oppurtunity to have sex. Hopefully, teens, such as myself, will realize the seriousness of subject before they make the mistake of engaging in unsafe sex.

well i think it is soo wrong I mean I don't even think they themsevles know what harm their doing to themsevles. I am in seventh grade and I sure wouldn't do that I mean I've never even had a boyfriend before! Really WHAT are they thinking if they actually even are thinking!!!!!

Having sex before marriage is wrong. Obviously, a lot of teenagers are saying yes to sex. "Most feel the pressure to have sex because of the need to become popular, to win or to keep someone's love, or to prove something to someone."
Did you know that
1) "One in four sexually active teens will contract some kind of STD"
2) "No contraceptive method is 100 percent effective"
"43% of all unintended pregnancies occured while using contraception"
3) "A teenager who is sexually active can put his/her reputation on the line"
4) "Most teens who have sex have regrets, become depressed and even commit suicide... = loss of self respect and moral standards"
Just to name a few.... anyways I think it is better to stay a virgin until one gets married

I think the parents are mostly to blame in the whole sex thing thats happening in schools nationwide. I'm not a parent myself, so please don't take this the wrong way, but I think if my parents had spoken to me early on about sex, it would not have been akward to go to them with questions and whatnot. A lot of parents nowadays barely even KNOW their own children. "Lilly would never do that..." "Katie knows she can talk to me about things like that" "Tom takes his schooling very seriously". You are all full of CRAP!

The video games, TV, lack of quality family time, social trends, and many other things changing in the world around us have interrupted the way things SHOULD go.

Your school can raise funds to implement the Baby Think It Over Program (Link: http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/fcs/pub/1999/showcase_nc_299.html). In pairs, teens will take care of a life-like baby for a period of time. And they will realize the consequences for engaging in sexual activity.

By telling kids not to do something, and not really explaining why, makes them want to fight that much harder to disobey their parents, and also try and find out WHY exactly they say this is such a bad thing. Very STUPID.

What's funny is how abstinence only education doesn't work. You can do what you believe in, go for it, but even states like Texas that teach kids not to have sex until marriage have one of the highest teen pregnancy rates of the 50 states.

Looks like kids don't listen or maybe abstinence only education only makes sex seem cooler because it is frowned upon.

I'm praying for you too. I know that its hard but now i know that i am not alone and that makes it easier for me. Best of luck to you.

Finally someone who agrees with me! Your words are strong and so are your Pastor's!! I pray that you are able to achieve your goal! I am in the same boat you're in, yes its hard but we can do it!

I want early sex to end as much as the next person but the question is how? First of all you can't make a person not have sex when they want to, it has to be in thier minds to not want to have sex. Well how do you put in thier minds? Well i guess my educating girls and boys about the negative consequences of sex. Here is something my pastor always tells me about sex:

Sex is a good thing, It is a gift from god given to married people. When two people get married they should be two dummies who never had sex together learning how to do it together. THis way you get ride of the feeling of my last befriend was better than him, he's not satisfying me, and etc.
My pastor would also say that when you ahve sex with a person it is like having sex with every other person that that person has had sex with.
My pastor would also say that you are worth waiting for.

I have made a vow with my self to remain a virgin until my wedding night becuse i know im worth it. I know that it'll be hard and that there will be many times where i am going to be tempted but i pray that i stay strong.

My advice to all girls out there is that you are worth waiting for. Yes you are so special and wonderful that you are worth waiting for and don't let any one tell you otherwise.

Early sex...
I have just recently, within the last week, have found out that all my girl friends who are 16 are no longer virgins... and none of them are ashamed, excited actually.
My problem with early sex is that girls even at sixteen have no idea what is going on with their bodies even with the health class we are required to take at my school... girls dont understand ovulation and the period of time when you can actually become pregnant due to the opening of the cervix ...
one of my friends started to have sex and then asked her doctor to be put on the pill... when I asked her if she knew that the pill makes your body pretend its pregnant in order to control when your period occurs.. she said no even after seeing her doctor.. she didnt ask any questions!!!!

Advertising, music, books... its hard to get away from the images and references to sex.. how are teenages supposed to wait until they are married if start seeing these images so early?

I dont believe in waiting until marriage to have sex... i believe in expressing one's sexuality... yet dont be cunfused... i mean that i encourage girls/women to be ok with their bodies, be comfortable in their own skin, not afraid to say vagina, vulva and uterus.... to not be afraid of masturbation... to be educated about what is occuring inside of them...
instead of listenin to what their boyfriend, who they "love", tells them and then allow them to take away something you can never get back...

In intermediate school this year, (after we graduate elementary school in 4th grade, we go to The Intermediate School for 5-6th grades, then we go to the middle school, where I am now. We have a way wacked out school system, I know.) a girl in 6th grade was pregnant. I heard a girl in 8th grade was pregnant and she had her friend kick her in the stomach repeatedly to kill the baby. And I know some girls my age (7th grade) have lost their virginity. My parents have stressed for me not to sex before I get married, and I don't plan to.

Ushergirl_06 you are rite they should not be making out with people in the sixth grade. I started dating boy's when I was in the 11th grade cause I knew then I could a boy if I wanted to but tou know I never did cause I waited until my Senior year and then kissed a guy and that's the guy I have been with every since and now I am pregnant but thank god I waited until at least I was 20 you know ? you Sixth grade's dont need to do that nor be kissing. I am a parent and if I was them gurls mommy I would beat your tails for having sex now

You guys are too young to be doing that kind of stuff. The parents should teach their kids that this stuff is wrong. Especially at your age.

At my MIDDLE SCHOOL, in the seventh grade i KNOW there are TWO pregnant girls that got pregnant over LAST SUMMER!!!!! That means they were not even in the seventh grade when they had sex!!!!

I have never kissed a boy, had sex, drank beer, nuthin like that and i tend for it to stay that way for a while (except maybe the kissing thing(: but yeah)

i'm am in the SIXTH grade and some of my friend's have already made out with people OVER FIVE TIMES!!!!!
and most of them were not woth the same people!!!!!

4 SIXTH graders made out w/ each other at a SCHOOL CONCERT in the girl's bathroom!
that is just plain NASTY!

Okay Heroes, you're crazy, and Wingus, I agree with you, you've brought up some great points. Yes its very ludicrous to believe that it will bring people closer, at our age, it usually breaks the couple up, and they end up feeling dirty, and.....well you get the point, the next day. So I don't agree with what you're saying.

Heroes, how is teenage pregnancy unhealthy? While I don't support teenage sex which ultimately leads to pregnancy, in history people were having children and beginning families during their teens years, some girls as young as 14. Yes there are tests to diagnose an STD but how many teens would be mature enough to tell someone that they have it? Many teens partake in sex through random hookups, which is why I doubt someone would risk not having sex by telling the truth. Not to mention the fact that when a person goes public with the fact that they have an STD, society and their social group immediately ostracize them for having the disease.

I honestly can't believe you think sex will make a couple grow closer and that “fun” is a valid enough reason to risk pregnancy and getting an STD. Condoms, birth control and other methods are not 100%. Your whole growing closer to partner is simply ludicrous, I know many people who have sex one day with their partner and then their relationship falls the next.

Teens need to be responsible for their actions. If they can not support their own family at the age in which they are having sex, they need to not partake in it.

Replace 'promote' with 'accept' and you've got it.

So basically you don't promote teenage pregnancy, but you DO promote teen sex?

Sex is fun, procreation, and a way to grow closer with your partner. Ignoring any of these facets is ignoble.

But face it: we have tests to establish who does and does not have an STD. We have many forms of birth control, including but not limited to condoms, spermicidal lubricant, the pill, the shot, the morning-after pill, and numerous methods of abortion. If two teenagers can establish that neither of them has an STD, then what is to stop them from having fun and growing closer as partners through sex?

If someone does not want to have a child, they will not. I stand firmly by that statement. There are too many barriers and modern conveniences for it to be false. If, despite the pill, condoms, and the morning-after pill, a woman manages to become pregnant, there are MANY options for cheap (even free) and very safe abortions.

(Keep the distinction in mind here: if someone does not 'believe' in abortions for religious reasons, that is still a CHOICE and does not void my statement)

I don't see any reason to say safe teenage sex is unhealthy. I think teenage pregnancy is ALWAYS unhealthy and should be avoided at all costs...I think it's stupifying that sometimes it is not.

Sex isnt just fun, its something to be taken seriously. Getting married or not, you should always be careful b/c you can catch STD's.

The first time I had sex I was 17 and I think I was having fun but I am fixing to get married and having a girl and its not a problem for having sex it's just fun u know

Oh so you got banned, you had to make a new screenname? Oh I can suck your balls? Nice comeback. Yeah shows how mature you really are. Why don't you grow up? How old are you? 2? Come on! You've got to be the dumbest person I've ever met.

[Other Admin] Thanks, dawg

All I am going to say is you need some serious help. and if that statement were true about being horny, then I know dozens of people who would've already had sex, but haven't yet. You really need to get your head on straight.

Yeah as do I.....

Technically yes. Religiously I would hope there would be a better reason.

Yeah I agree with you, except with the statement of only being put here to keep our species alive. Do you think thats the only reason we're here? just asking.....

We were put on this earth to repopulate. To keep our species alive. We never evolved to only be able to reproduce at a certian age. After puberty technically, we would be having sex. "Back in the day" which I am assuming you are referring to 17th century, there were very few STDs. Only recently have diseases such as AIDS have developed.

Personally I don't think teens should have sex. We are neither economically or mentally able to become parents. A baby costs over $1,000 dollars a month to care for.

I agree with you tink about the sex statements.

]i think sex as a teenager is wrong! and people back then probably didnt no about std's and stuff. besides, they didnt live as long as we do now, so they had to rush things, and no we weren't put on this earth to have sex at fifteen. just becuz people in the 17th century did doesnt mean we have to! and, your right, i dont have to laugh at your jokes and your obligated to crack them where ever your heart desires! : )

My you are something arent you? lol

tinklover: Whether or not I feel like cracking jokes about this subject is my business. Whether or not you laugh is yours .

You forget in your statement that 'people were not put on this earth to have sex at age 15' that that is precisely what people did hundreds of years ago. If I recall correctly, back in the 16th and 17th centuries it was common practice to marry young - often as young as 13. That, naturally, included sex. Catholics back then must not have thought 15 was too early, although they likely do now.

I don't necessarily advocate early sex; I am an advocate against those who say that sex as a teenager is wrong!

Yeah I agree with you

this is no joking mater! people were not put on this earth to have sex at age 15! the average person lives to be 75 years old. so why are we so worried about having sex at 15 years old! i just dont get it. IF you get an STD then thats at least 60 years to live with it. THERE IS NO CURE! so go joke about something else that doesnt effect people's LIVES!

Cute, what kind of dogs do you have? I've got 2 labs, brother and sister, The male is yellow, named Yeller, and the female is black, named April. I also have a black and gray striped with white cat, with huge emerald green eyes named Buster.

hahah yea. wingus is a combination of two of my dogs names. Winnie + Angus = Wingus. Odd but true.

No it was actually by your screenname......Yeah I feel you, I'm interested in the world too, its nice to meet someone my age whose in agreement about waiting to have sex.

That's akward. I'm just a girl who is very interested in politics and the world. I have no idea how people assume someone's gender based off posts but no worries. I have been wrong many a time before but on different things like board game trivia.

LOL!!!!!!!!! Wow dont I feel sheepish? I kinda thought you were a guy. Ah well, (dont get mad at me!)

F

back to heosdoexist07 because teens dont get tested, and most the time they dont think about protection. now i live in tennessee and thats just how it is here

I'm 16 too, so we're about the same age, thats cool. I was raised around adults. Next question, are you M or F?

hahah. I get that alot oddly enough. I am actually 16 but because I grew up in a divorced household and am a latchkey kid I was independent at a young age. So I guess it can be attributed to my childhood and just plain who I am.
