Virgin until marriage is sounding better everyday. It just re-enforces what i believe, but it's sad, it really is.

It's rather comical, some girls (like in my family, me and my sisters) will become smarter than most people, while some decide they would have sex to feel it when they are young. It's ridicuous, really, and could never have been beleived several years ago. Now, it's the most common thing. It's actually NOT comical, now that I look at it. It's depression, knowing that people do that. Seeing that makes me lose faith in the human race,

Pretty "good" odds if you consider there are probably a good 50 million or so "teenagers" in the united states... Perhaps better than winning the lottery but hey. You have to remember that its mostly the stupid kids that this happens to. ...
Play it safe, use protection, don't be a whore... and you're likely to be ok.

I think that I am glad that I avoid all that mess.
Its sad though. I heard that the number of teenage girls that have been getting pregnant have been going down over the years though.

It kind of makes me wonder where this sperm is coming from because the girls aren't impregnating themselves. That and it's incredibly hard to get an STD from lesbian sex so it would seem, once again, that the teenage boys are the catalysts.

i think this means that A LOT of teenage girls are having sex and should either not do it in the first place or if they choose to, use proper protection (condoms/and or birth control) and if they do become pregnant they should def take respons. for it and not just "throwing their innocent child away" for their mistakes. for girls who miscarry i feel terribly bad for them it must be very difficult to go through.
