The parents of these teens need to be sitting down and talking with their children so they do not come online asking questions about sex and adult things from total strangers. It is getting way out of hand which is causing too many teen pregnancies. The boys need to keep it in their pants and the girls need to keep their legs closed.
For those teens who have had more than one baby, apparently you did not learn from the first baby.
Kids these days are just in too much of a hurry to grow up. They are quick to do ADULT things but when faced with being pregnant they get scared. Well apparently you were not too scared to lay down and do the deed.
I advise all of you teens out there who are thinking of engaging in adult acts to sit down with your parents because it is not right at all, kids do not need to be engaging in adult activities. You need to keep your head in those books.
The teen girls need to keep their legs closed till they are married JMO.

When you are able to pay rent and provide for yourself then do as you will but as long as you are living with your parents you should not been thinking about sex and babies whatsoever.

Yeah it maybe your life but your parents need to have more control of your life before you are an adult. There are too many babies born to teens and too many teens having abortions just because they cannot take care of them.
I have always been able to talk to my parents about things such as without going to some stranger.
Most people on here give advice a parent would give but these teens do not listen. Why? Because most of these teens think they are grown.
Someone should start an organization to put an end to teen pregnancy and teens having sex, they are just babies not adults anyway.

Teens need to learn not to let peer pressure get to them, it is not like someone put a gun to your head. Even as adult and I speak for most adults we still have peer pressure but we know where to draw the line. It is not hard to say NO when someone is pressuring you to do something you know is wrong.

First of all I do not need to take my own advice because I am a grown woman and married thank you very much. I have 2 daughters and another on the way I will do everything in my power to make sure they do not do any of the things teens do to today.
When people tell you it is wrong to be having babies and sex as a teen, then why go do it anyway? It makes no sense to me at all.
This is an issue among many things in our country that needs to be dealt with.
With some of you teens having such a nasty attitude talking the way you do to an adult it goes to show that apparently you lack self respect and respect for those around you.
My generation was not like this at all. Yes there was teen pregnancy but in this day and time it is getting worse.

Keeping it in your pants and your legs closed is not UNREALISTIC. It can be done if they just do it. Simple as that.

If teens can have sex, then why are they so scared when a baby comes into the picture or they catch some kind of STD? You were not scared to have sex and know what results in having sex, but when those results comes to play you get all scared. To me that is just plain ignorant.
It is like if you rob a bank, you know you are going to jail so why rob a bank if you know the outcome?
The same goes for teen sex, if you know you can get pregnant or catch an STD then why have sex?
They have alcohol laws and cigarette laws, they should make a law for sex too. Unless you are 18 years of age you should not be having sex that is the way our society and government should run things. That should put a stop to teen pregnancy.

Parents can do something about it if they really cared about their children, it can be done.
You stated that you do not listen to adults anyway, that is the problem your parents will tell you what is right and wrong, you do not listen. Why? Because when you are a child you think the world revolves around you and it does not. Parents just need to take more control of their kids and monitor what they do. Apparently for so many teens to have access to the internet and come post questions about adult things, then that tells us the parent is not at home monitoring their children or they just do not care what their kids do.
Society do not need to educating someone else's children, the parents who laid down and had them need to do so and if you have a child that is so out of control and won't listen to you, throw them in jail or embarass them in public so society can see how bad they are behaving.

A teen is still a child, just because a teenage girl has grown some breasts and has hair around her genital does not make her an adult and reason to be engaging in sex or getting pregnant. The same for a teen boy, just because he done got funky under the arms and has hair down there does not make him a man and should be getting into girls pants. Boys keep it zipped and girls say NO. Parents need to start educating your kids and monitoring them.

Yes parents should teach their children about sex, but they need to enforce NOT to have sex because they are not adults. You need to be an adult to have sex. Children under the age of 18 should not be having sex because they are just children. When a child has sex and the parent finds out, yes the parent gets angry because the parent has told them NOT to do it. It is not based on trust. Children need to listen to their parents and if they come here to get answers and most of adults are trying to keep the children from having sex then they need to listen to the adults because most of adults know right from wrong and it is WRONG for CHILDREN TO HAVE SEX.

My daughter is 14, she is the first to tell you that SEX has NEVER crossed her mind..Kids these days have sex because they don't have parents telling them other wise... Parents don't raise their kids anymore, they shove them to the side and allow them to do whatever they please, just as long as they don't have to deal with them. I know everything my daughter does, she tells me and her daddy everything. I have always raised my own kids, its my job to raise both my kids to be decent adults, raise them to respect themselves. I have always told my daughter, that the most important thing to a girl should be her reputation, and once that reputation has been tarnished, its hard to change it, once you are labeled, as a skank, whore, slut ETC you will always be just that, no matter how much you have turned your life around, once you are labeled that's it... Girls these days dress like hookers, talk like sailors and have more sex than newlyweds. It all comes down to the parents.

Unfortunately, many kids have problems talking to their parents about these issues. That is a result of bad parenting and, in many cases, it's not the teen's fault.
Instead of being upset that the teens are asking these questions, we as adults should take them under our wing and answer the things they want to know. Knowledge is power.
I'm not saying to hand out advice to teens on how to have sex or perform certain sexual practices. But answering questions about missed periods, safe sex, and STDs is a good way of informing the UNDER-informed so that they can at least have the chance of improving their behavior.
If they don't get their questions answered by anyone and receive no help, they'll just continue with the same irresponsible behavior.

People are curious about these things and they should know before anything happens. Advice from others that have been through similar situations is probably one the best advice they can get. Talking to your parents about things like pregnancy is a very awkward thing to do. I have a hard time talking to my parents about these things and not everyone has a close relationship with them. Typing their questions on yahoo!answers is a way where no one knows who you are and lets people ask these questions freely. Not everyone is at a level like yours where they would want to wait till marriage. Everyone has different views on this.

Wanna know why they do it. Its simple realy - because parents are to blind to see that there kids will have sex if given the opertunity to do so. My parents were to freakin scared to sit down with me and talk about that kind of stuff when i was that age. However its great that you dont want your kids to do this. I however have no intention of listening to anything any adult says. I lost it when i was 13 and have no regrets about it cuz i married the guy (no not becuse i was pregnent) I am very happy. Bottom line kids will do what they want. There is simply nothing parents can do about it.

Good luck on getting any positive answers...these kids on here are not going to listen. It's about how they perceive themselves and how they were brought up; unfortunately this means they feel entitled and on an equal footing with adults. I pity them because they have no idea what the consequences of sex really mean (AIDS, teen motherhood, etc.).
Bottom line, it's up to their parents to guide them into adulthood. Too bad so many parents are not doing their jobs right, if at all.

Teens ask questions here because they are curious about sex. Parents usually are uncomfortable talking to their teen-aged children about sex. Everyday teens are bombarded with images about sex. The urges they feel are very powerful. That's why teens ask questions about sex here. You said, "The boys need to keep it in their pants and the girls need to keep their legs closed.." That would maybe happen in a perfect world. The reality is that teen boys and girls are having sex. So if a teen ask a question about sex, answer it. Tell them about sexually transmitted diseases. Tell them all about birth control. Tell them about pregnancy. Educate them about the good or bad consequences about sex. Telling them to keep their legs closed or just don't have sex is very antiquated and unrealistic.

cuz some teens arent comfertable talking to there parents about sex and there bodies. there is absolutly nothing wrong with that either. no matter what you say, teens are gonna have sex because it feels good. marriage is NOT always the best time to have sex because it might not be the right moment. we are not trying to grow up fast, teens are teens and no matter how much you may not like the idea, teens are still gonna do it. You were a teen once. And if you have kids, you should know that kids do "discover themselves". You have no control over that. Would you rather have "kids" not know any imformation about sex, and when they do have sex, they get caught with STD or AIDS! Wouldn't you want your son or daughter to know what sex is and know the dangers AND pleasures of it. Seriously! maybe your the one who needs help! Sex doesnt come at a specific date, it happens. so you need to get your head out of ur AS.S and get a ****** clue!

I remember my first time was when I was 16, maybe too young but we did use protection...Also he pressured me for a really long time, time after time. on the night in question he wouldn't give up and he asked me for about an hour and said he'd buy me lots of stuff. I was really scared and he even said he would wear TWO condoms. I think the boys can be too aggressive and won't give up.

If parents talk to their kids about sex and make sure their is condoms available.parents tell the child to let them know if they have sex so that they can get on bithcontrol when the kids ask the parents blow up and the trust is gone.

it's easier to ask complete strangers these types of questions than to ask your own parents. reason being you don't know these people and you probably never have to talk to them again. about teens being sexually active that is their decision. its not affecting you in any way. so if anything just take care of yourself and take your own advice of keeping your legs shut. and maybe your mouth too. you are no one to judge and i think 4 kids is enough.
