Why does everyone think that teens should not have sex? Didn't you as a teen?

Question

Unless its because everyone does not want teenage pregnancy

Answer 1

Yes, because more and more, we see children raising children, or worse, grandparents raising their irresponsible childrens kids.

Answer 2

i was an adult before I had any type of sex and before intercourse I had a good job and a way to support my spouse and child without any problems. I do not believe sex of any kind is for children I do not see a purpose to engage in a relationship at this age. for urges I think masturbation is good enough but when they start relationships they load themselves down with more than they can handle. these are the learning years the dating and relationship years come fast enough. having sex brings on resposibilities and I have yet to meet a teen that could handle a relationship and or support a child. and still havethe right amount of time to learn. It is disturbing to see children in such a hurry to grow up. there are over 20 million unwanted children in the world and 87% of them came from a teenager and over 40 thousand children that were still born or died soon after by teenagers. you can say safe sex is being done but honestly nothing is 100% safe except not having sex with a partner. I heard just last night on yahoo answers a 14 year old female child talking about her 20 something year old boy friend,. this tells me that children do not understand relationships and are not resposible enough to have them. learn to respect yourselves learn how to be somebody sex is a great thing I wont lie to you but there is also a lot bad about it and although you may not see it as such a big deal it is very much a big deal.

Answer 3

I think it is because sex is related to a mature emotion that as teens you can not possibly understand. There is also the issue of teen pregnancy. I strongly believe that until you are absolutely ready to be a mom or dad, not just a parent, but a mom and dad than you are not ready to maturely have sex.

In addition, sex should not just be sex it should be making love. This is an experience that should not be taken lightly. It should be shared with someone that you know everything about, and have known for at least a year before experiencing this passionate exchange. Sex should be with the one you love, that can not be achived in its full complexity as a teen.

Answer 4

I did have sex as a teen and ended up pregnant at 16. I was on the pill with my 1st and on the shot with my 2nd. I just had a real good friend die of aids in December he was in his 40's. He got HIV when he was 19 and suffered until he died. He was an awesome person and would do anything for anyone, he did not deserve to suffer the way he did. There are so many diseases out there and all it takes is once and you will be paying for the rest of your life. Just make sure the person you decide to sleep with is the right one and you be careful.

Answer 5

Its because most adults have had sex as teenagers that they don't want their teen children to have sex. As a teenager, we usually make reckless, uninformed choices about sex ... especially teenage girls. No one's sexual experiences as a teenager turn out well. At the very worst, they result in unwanted pregnancy ... or at the very least, someone ends up with a broken heart. Most teenagers have sex because they think its what is expected of them, not because its something that they truly want and are ready for.

Answer 6

Had sex at 14. Am 24 now and realize how completely stupid I was in high school and college. Most teenagers, and even 20 somethings, don't use protection. I'm not exactly sure of the statistics, but if you get pregnant while in high school, your are less likely to finish high school, less likely to go to college and more likely to live in poverty for the rest of your life. Not to mention all the STD's that are out there. Most parents really just want to protect their kids from having a difficult life and unlike the kids, they realize the consequences that can come from unprotected sex.

Answer 7

I had sex as a teen,and that is exactly why I wouldn't advise anyone to do it.I know that because their bodies begin to look like those of adults,but the truth of the matter is that the brain is slower in keeping up.Hormones can make you feel like a woman or a man,but the brain is still that of a child.The pregnancy thing is also an issue.When teens have children,who ends up providing for that child?Right,the parents of the teen.Why?Because they are not mentally or financially capable of doing it alone,its unfortunate that their bodies were capable of making babies at such a young age.Afterall,sex has always and will always be.There is plenty of time for it.It's not going anywhere.It will still be here,when you struggle to feed yourself,find a job,pay bills,and even when things are great in your life,it will be here.So,What's the rush????

Answer 8

Sex and teens dont mix. Unless you are old enough to be a parent, you shouldnt even consider having sex. It can cause you to get pregnant and then guess what? You could be a mommy or a daddy. All teens think of sex, but you shouldnt have it while your young.

Answer 9

I did and now that I am older and wiser I know why I shouldn't have done it. I was not mature enough to understand the full emotional consequences. I really thought me and my bf would be together for ever (wrong) and was sooo hurt that I gave him something I felt was so special. I believe teens should wait more for the emotional reasons then anything. Not to mention that getting pregnant would change the course of your life for ever.

Answer 10

Duh? Of course, we did. That's why we tell you not to! Not necessarily because we had bad experiences, but because when we got older we realized that we didn't know what we thought we did. As well as, sex could have waited, just like the "older" people told us. And you won't realize that you really weren't in love as you thought, until years from now. Not to mention, life as a teenager is a lot less stressful and intense if we wouldn't have complicated it with trying to be grown-up by having sex. That's why - now you know.

Answer 11

I didn't have sex in my teens. Only because the guys I was with in a relationship was all about the booty or just a dog period. Not that I never wanted too, that little voice in my head told me he11 no!! But, in retrospect I was 21 when I lost my virginity and I'm with my loving husband same one who I was with and broke my virginity..
