Question

i dont see the problem in teens having sex when theyre 15 i mean yea if they gett pregnant then theyve screwed up their life but i mean use protection and haveing birthcontrol should do some good use.. i just dont see the problem

Answer 1

Nothing guaranties that you won't get pregnant or get an STD. Nothing!

Answer 2

We care because when the children do get pregnant the government
usually pays for it. This is working peoples tax money. Many times the teen is not very educated and stays on welfare. Not only have they screwed up their life but they also have put burden on other peoples lives as well.
Now per say this teen did use protection and is on birth control. Remember that condoms are not 100% effective. If the teen does get a STD of some sort , again the government pays for the medical attention (Tax payers money). Some STD are very expensive to treat and some require medical attention til death.
The problem is that teens aren't responsible enough to handle the possible outcomes of sex.

Answer 3

Well there are a lot of reasons. First of all sex leads up to many emotional things that teenagers can not handle. Many adults can not handle. Plus many are not mature enough to understand many of those emotional things that come along. Not just heartbreak but friendships being lost etc.
They have sex for different reasons and do not always want to protect themselves.
Sex is supposed to be something shared amongst a man and a women in love a tie and a commitment. Not something that you do simply for pleasure.
Often their bodies are not developed enough and it is not about pleasure but about seaking attention and love from someone else. And that is only going to get them hurt worse not help the problems that they are having.
Even with protection there is still the chance of getting an STD.
Even with protection there is still the chance of getting pregnant or getting a girl pregnant. Now I hate throwing statistics out there because I was a teen mother and I have risen far above the odds. But the ugly statics PROVE that teen parents not only ruin their own lives but they ruin the lives of their children and of people around them. EVERYONE suffers in many of the cases. Why take the chance of doing that to a child?

I could go on and on. Point is sex is for adults.

Answer 4

I think the problem is the long term ramifications of having sex too early. Think of it this way if you start having se at 15 and let's say you have 3 different partners every year until you are 30 (when you are ready to settle down) that makes a total of 45 different partners. That's not adding in ALL the possible STDs, unwanted pregnancy and other just bad things that can happen.

I look at it this way - how many 15 year olds do you know are 100% responsible (as a teacher I can say not many)? How many 15 year olds have true common sense? Again not many. Why risk all of the bad things that can/will happen?

Answer 5

Let me guess, your 15. Protection doesn't always work. I was on the pill and used condoms and still got pregnant. Sadly I lost the child but I later got pregnant on the depo shot.
First, sex is saved for marriage, read your bible. Second, you need to be prepared for the consequences. Not just children but AIDS, herpes, chlamydia. Some of these STD's can cause you to become infertile.
Children shouldn't have sex, they just aren't ready. What's the rush in growing up anyway? Do you think it's fun to worry about the mortgage or how you're going to get to work because your car is in the shop or what are you going do with your baby because your sitter is sick and can't watch them and you have to be at work in an hour. Don't be ignorant.

Answer 6

I don't think children (and yes, if you're under 18, you're still a child in my book) can fully grasp the concept of sex. There's SO much more to it than the good feelings that come along with it. Sex for some people (such as myself) is more mental than anything. Sure, there are still the aforementioned "good feelings" but when you have sex with someone you truly, deeply love and are committed to, it's SO much better. I don't think any 15 year old children can understand that concept. I don't think their bodies or their brains are mature enough to understand.

I've been in both situations...sex as a teenager and now, sex as a married woman, and I can tell you, it's much more enjoyable now. Thinking back (and, although I'm ashamed to admit it, I lost my virginity at 16 years old) sex then seemed so cheap and tawdry. It wasn't sex...it was just f*cking (pardon my French).

Answer 7

Adults don't want 15 year olds having sex because we are afraid you are too young to understand what a loving relationship is. Sex is so much more than an act. It should be with someone who means something to you. And it shouldn't be because you are looking for love.
The other reason is condoms break, HIV and STD's are everywhere pregnancy is the least of the issues. In an adult relationship you are better able to protect yourself and have the emotional connection we are all searching to find.
Loose the additude and think about what you want for your life, accept that there are somethings you may not know yet.
If you are having sex keep using condoms, I urge you to have your partner tested before having sex even with condoms.

Answer 8

Because at 15 you are not ready to handle the consequences that usually com ealong with sex. maybe right now you feel like you can deal with it, but what happens when one of these guys tells the world you are a slut, or when a guy has heard about you and tires to force himself on you. Or what happens when all of the other girls turn against you for sleeping around? Or what happens when you find out you have an STD or you are pregnant?
Are you really able to say you could deal with any of those?

Answer 9

The problem that I see is that there are too many kids having sex for the wrong reason. Some kids who are 15 may be ready for sex and kids, if so, go ahead! It's none of my business. But I think the problem is that these kids are having sex because of pressure. And that isn't right. I find no problem with SOME kids having sex that early, just as long as they are ready and actually want to do it for themselves, not just from pressure.

Answer 10

"they" care because kids are trying to grow up way too fast these days. Kids are becoming sexually active younger and younger. Do you see a problem with an 11 year old having sex and getting pregnant? how about smoking pot? It IS a problem because your body is not done growing, and by doing these things, not only are you mentally troubling yourself, you are physically causing your body harm. children's, (yes, you are still a child at 15), bodies are not ment to go through these things.

I hope when you actually become an adult, you look back at the immature and irresponsible decisions you made and realize what the problem is and why " they" cared.

Answer 11

When I was 15 sex wasn't an option...I dont think its right when your that young..for one I wouldnt want my daughter running around having sex when shes 15..Think about that would you want your kids doing that knowing that no matter if they use protection or not they could still get pregnant or get someone pregnant? Just be careful if you are having sex...only takes one time to make a baby!
