So long as they use protection, go ahead. They're old enough to make their own desisions, but it's in their own best interests and better for society for them to be responsible about it.
We had a great sex-education programme in school when I was a teen. Only one girl, in our entire school, got pregnant before graduation.
Education is the key, but saying that it's not good because it's not 100% effective is just plain stupid. It works better than preaching abstinence.
Teens gona fuck no matter what you try to do.
Best thing for it is to educate us horny lot so we don't make a mess of ourselves. Make sure we don't have unwanted kids or contract some ghastly STI.
As long as they're informed, let them do what they want, they're old enoguh to deal with any consequences.
I dont mind too much, where i live kids mature so quickly (yet their brains have yet to catch up) We have a good sex education here but we just keep getting pregnant you know. Contraceptions also free so... Well i dont mind it but be safe.
Me being a teenager I feel sex is overrated and am glad to be a virgin, I personally think that other teenagers should be able to freely have sex with other teens as they want, they know the consequences, they know the risks, they aren't stupid so they should know to protect themselves and have fun.
They're gonna do whatever they want for sure. They're teenagers. I honestly don't like the fact that 13-16 year old tramps are out getting pregnant on purpose. Its stupid, and un-called for. Taking care of a baby in high school would be really difficult. Some teenagers might have other reasons for getting pregnant, maybe a religon or something. On purpose is plain stupid. If you're gonna have sex, just use a damn condom.
Says the aunt and friend of many teens / young adults who decided to have children when they didn't / won't finish High School. Therefore, ruining their and their kids life. Hopefully though they make their kids go to school, but most of the time whatever their parents end up doing, their kids end up doing the same thing as well. Which is going to ruin society as a whole.
Have you heard of protection? Sex doesn't have to = children or diseases.
By the way, as you can read from the title, this is my opinion, therefore I should feel subjective to sharing those opinions. How I express them if up to me. Obviously I'm not going to express them like everyone else since I am my own person. If you took it the wrong way, I apologize since this is the internet everyone takes everything the wrong way. No one can tell what tone you use, etc.
We're talking about teens here, they aren't always going to use protection. No sex doesn't have to equal children or diseases, but I would rather teens shut their legs than to even to think about the risk of either.
And if you want me to bring up abortion (or adoption / foster care), I will.
I agree they're not always going to use protection, and there is a huge teen pregnancy rate in the UK, USA and most prominently in places like Niger... but that's why I think sexual education is a lot more effective than just saying "shut yer legs". Since when do teenagers follow commands?
Proper sex education is the best way to show young people (like myself) the facts about unprotected sex, letting them discuss and make their own choices about their sexuality. That way they will truly learn to be responsible by their own free will.
PS: If you want to bring up abortion/adoption/foster care go ahead, I may not agree with what you say about those matters but I'm not going to avoid the issue.
In holland we don't have this problem, and believe me.. Dutch people are not abstinent..
I wonder if everybody touting "protection" realizes condoms fail at preventing pregnancy at a rate of 10% to 36%, depending on the study.
To my brothers out there: when it fails, and she gets pregnant, child support enforcement will drain your paycheck dry for 18 years, to support a child that she will turn against you. Be very careful.
If I could find a nice older man, sure. But everyone in my school is a tool, anyways.
Ah, the joys of a man over 27.... ;)
ahhhh i remeber my teen years sex best ever well now that i'm older i think they really shouldn't do that but i guess it's okay
Don't want to let the human race die out, do you? Dis-couraging them could be a very big mistake.
Personally, I'm the old fashioned, not until marriage (I'm 18) but for other teens, I don't give a crap about what they do.
I think every generation thinks they invented sex but there just seems to be so much peer pressure with FWBs etc instead of long term relationships. Plus the abuse of alcohol and drugs that seem so readily available to this generation.
I try to publicise at every opportunity that condoms do not protect you from HIV as the spaces between the rubber is larger than the HIV virus.
A baby is not a doll - so God help the teenage mothers!
I looked this up just now, and I'd like to say that I cannot find any evidence to agree with you. The main reason for failure of condoms to prevent HIV is incorrect use (for example, wrong size, letting it fall off or greasy fingers) or inconsistant use (not using one every time you have sex). All of the stupid "only 90% effective" stories are due to incorrect use. Condoms are 100% if you are responsible using them. Don't spread misinformation. And please, if you are going to reply to this and tell me that I am wrong, please provide a link to a reputable scientific source that proves you right, or you'll just be making a fool of yourself.
If a condom is latex, used properly, and labeled that it is for disease control, then the HIV virus doesn't pass through magically. It has to break. You are spreading misinformation if you're telling people HIV permeates a sound, unbroken, properly used, latex condom.
ABSTAIN UNTIL THEY CAN GET A JOB AND PAY TAXES! I'm sick of seeing "oops babies" being born when mommy and daddy are sophomores and juniors in high school. We taxpayers usually support those "oops babies" ( no offense) and mommy and daddy for the first 9 years of their lives. Its a statistic. Fact.hate all u want, I'm tired of paying for that shit... u know, welfare, medical, and WIC. Teens keep your dick/ vagina put away for a few more years PLEASE! They can do some oral tho... as long as she's not ovulating when she does and swallows! Lol
I agree with Ldizzy1234 completely BUT if we all did that and waited life would be oh so boring
