What is the big deal about teens having sex? What's wrong with it? Especially if they are well aware of what they are getting themselves into, and are using protection I seriously don't see anything wrong with it. I understand that teens and some a little younger are getting pregnant but I don't think that they are using protection, or birth control. I know niether of them are really effective but not all teens are becoming pregnant. I think they should also get a second oppinion from parents although parents will say otherwise they probably won't want their teens to be sexually active and who could blame them. I know I wouldn't my kids in the future to be sexually active. I am 15 and I am not a virgin and my mom totally doesn't know, I yes used protection and if he didn't want to use a condom I would have refused to have sex. I know that other people have different points of view such as religion, but its not their body to say anything, although I know they are trying to keep us out of trouble.

teenagers are naturally horny. if we would just let teens, im 16 by the way, have sex it would cause sex to become not as common. honestly, if something is illegal more people will do it. look at alcohol. in europe kids can drink whenever they want. how many alcoholics do they have? like less then 20% of what the US has. more and more teens are getting pregnant and/or STDs because they are afraid or embarrassed about talking to their parents about sex.
let teenagers be teenagers
I'm pretty sure that you have read my forum "Why Sex Now?" Gigglyheart01850, well yeah i get what you are talking about, but i dont want to be mean or rude or anything but you are totally contradicting yourself. You mentioned that its okay to have sex and there is nothing bad with it (except the fact that you can have stds, and all those other diseases or get pregnant...) anyways, but you say that there is nothing bad, yet you wouldnt want to have your kids being sexually active. What? if you dont want them to be sexually active then why are you? Think about it, lets just say you get pregnant at a young age and you have a kid eventually they are going to figure out that you were pregnant at a young age and kids usually follow their parents example, right... but that's in the future, right...
But if you say its okay to have sex and all then isn't is okay for your kids to have sex at a young age too? And you just said that you didnt want them to have sex, then why do you? I'm sorry if i sound a little harsh, but this whole sex topic is something that i want to see change. i hate it when i hear that teens have sex and get pregnant or have disease and stuff like that. But what would your parents think if they find out...will they support you or not? See, you dont really know and do you really want to find out at a young age.
Sex is suppose to be something amazing that is between your husband and you after you get married. Because if you have sex with a boy now then you guys break up...you might regret it and pretty much you gave your virginity to that guy and pretty much a part of you is still kinda with him. Kinda get that? And i'm not just talking to you Gigglyheart01850, i'm talking to everyone out there if they take the time to read this. And, so why kids have sex? We are just teenagers and want to do things that we know that we shouldnt be doing. Not all kids do that, but some do. and just to let you know, Gigglyheart01850, i'm 15 too. and i totally disagree with you. Once again, i'm sorry if that sounds harsh, but its the truth...you can hate me, but oh well, i dont know you so it doesnt really matter.
Why can't teens just wait??????
I'm really not sure if this is relevent to the subject but I would like to throw this out there. Whether anyone likes it or not, teens are going to have sex. I hate parents that try to shield their kids and never talk about it to them. Like juju says, teens are naturally horny and the least parents can do is talk to their children and make sure their child knows how to have safe sex and stress the importance of waiting to have sex. Okay counterpoint time--most teens are NOT aware of what they're getting into when they first have sex. They're not usually thinking about the consequences and there are enough pregnant teenagers out there.
I totally get where your coming from, and i don't hate you btw your intitled to your opinion.
Lots of teens aren't ready for the emotional part of sex.
I think that everybody could expressed their love but not showing off or doing something u are going to regreat in the future if that person really loves u he/she could wait and doing the right thing
I get what you are saying. I'm 15 too, and I'm still a virgin. It's a choice I made- that I should wait until the right person comes because I want it to be special. I couldn't really care less if teens are getting pregnant at a very young age. Maybe parents just want the best for their children. I mean, having a baby at a young age can ruin your life. And parents don't really want to hear their children being sexually active and all because their in a high risk of being pregnant. That's why parents don't really feel that good while talking about sex. I totally respect what you are saying because a lot of teens are horny and they can be experimental at a young age. I salute you for defending many teens about premarital sex...
I think its just the choice of the person. Nobody else should have any say in it. All your parents can do is teach you the risks and conscences of it and send you on your way after that its your choice. I'm 18 now I decided to have sex when i was 16. It was my choice I understood what could happen as of now I hold no regrets from having sex young.
Telling teens it's bad to have sex just makes them want to do it more.
I'm not a virgin. I enjoy sex. I'm well aware that birth control is not 100% effective and my fiancee could get me pregnant at anytime. I'm fully aware of this fact.
However, it's our choice to have sex. Telling us not to or that it's wrong to have sex so young isn't going to make a difference to us. We're young, but we're not stupid.
It's your own business and it's your body. No one else should have the right to tell you that you shouldn't be having sex because you're a teenager. That's complete bs.
If you want to have sex and you feel you're ready, then have sex. Just be aware that any consequences are your fault and you'll have to deal with it. But as long as you remember that, then you're fine.
maybe your body is ready but emotionally, you are not.
I'm sixteen and I know that I'm not ready for sex nor have I met the right person to engage in sex with. The thing is teens are having sex just to have sex. Later on you might regret because when you meet the right person you won't be able to fully give yourself over to him or her because you have given yourself to someone else. Believe it or not having sex is a big responsibility and until you know the reason why your not read to have sex. Before you do anything ask yourself why your going to have sex with whom ever. Be able to say that your 100% ready to give yourself to someone else.
i dont want to have sex right now i feel that i should wait till that special one comes along i mean yeah i have thoughts of doing it but my gut feeling tells me no so i listen...i dont know i guess im wierd but i dont care
