After reading 100's of questions about dating, sex, Pregnancy, what should I do if? & my parents are going to kill me if.......? My question is what is wrong with you kids these days? Your parents totlly spoil you by givng you want you want. God forbid you shouldn't have a cell phone or designer clothing. It sounds like most of you are not strong enough to say no to sex. And Most of you just see it as an act or something to do for fun. Most of you are afraid to talk to your parents about anything. Why?? Your parents are your best bet in getting info about life. Your friends don't know anything. Most of you are so weak minded that you have to do what your friends are doing. Don't you have a mind of your own?
I don't understand the need to date at such an early age. I can understand the need to date at the age of 16. But, you don't need to earlier than that. Just like no teen needs sex. Sex is a loving act between two married people.
Get a life kids!

I really don't feel that it's totally the teens' fault . . . I think that some parents are in denial that their "babies" are growing up . . . and then they don't have open relationships where their kids can come and talk to them about anything . . so the kids have to look elsewhere for answers . . . I was somewhat sheltered as a child, but as I got older, my mother had conversations with me about sex and all and told me that if I had questions to come ask her . . and that's what I did . . . . parents don't do that these days . . another reason why most girls are so promiscuous is because 9 times out of 10, there's no father figure in the home . . so she's seeking the love from any male who's willing to give it to her . . and in most cases, they equate love with sex . . then when that's not enough, they want to get pregnant and have babies so that they can have something/someone of their own who will love them unconditionally . . . and that's why we have teens becoming mothers at age 12 . . and 13 year olds who have sex for money . . . . . there are a LOT of issues that cause this . . poor parenting is the biggest one . . . and I do agree that some teens are just buckwild and are going to do whatever they want to anyway, but for the most part, it's because of what they lack or something they've seen Mama do at home . . .

You have a very good point.Even though as a teen I was so stupid,luckily I didn't get pregnant
or sick.I believe that the reason for some of this is because parents don't raise their kids the same way they used to.Over the years they have become so lenient.And over the years
parents have came to spoil their children badly
starting at birth.My problem was that my mother never was my woman figure.She never taught me anything about being a woman or
having boyfriends so I did what I wanted to do.
I am grown now and have been with the same person for five years but I thank God I didn't
suffer for my actions when I was a teen.

Hmmm Jennifer..
I am a parent, and my children are neither spoiled nor out having sex looking for comfort from a male figure, Oh.. did I fail to mention I am also a single mother?
The problem ISN'T the parents.. the problem is the children know that the discipline and restrictions are placed on parents. You can only ground them for this many days.. no no no.. don't spank the kids or they will be taken away.. You are obviously well past the point of naivity.. and damn well smashed into the forest of ignorance!
I have a teenager, who talks to me.. and I talk to him.. not AT each other.. Parents AND CHILDREN need to know a little word called respect! That is where the problem is... I would rather raise my children alone than raise them with a man because society says that is the best way.. is it really???
In my experience.. all my son was going to learn is that knocking your girlfriend/wife around is ok.. and calling her every name in the book is normal.. and teach my daughter that is the best she is going to ever wind up with?? Get a reality check!

Weak minded, spoiled and afraid of my parents...no way. I've always done what i wanted and i've never been one to do what my friends are doing. Spoiled.....i've been completley financially independent from my parents for the past year and i'm still in h.s. I've been working since i was old enough and have paid for all my own clothes etc. since i was 13, i bought my first car and first cell phone myself and i don't wear designer clothes at all. As for sex...i'm in a committed relationship with the man that i will be with for the rest of my life--i don't need a piece of paper to prove that i love him and we will raise our child (due in about 4 months) in a loving, caring home. I have never been one to be scared of my parents and i have a open, honest, friendly relationship with them and i can tell them anything. I'm smart and mature and I really don't like it when people make blanket statements-i'm not an exception to the rules. Maybe you should stop being so close minded......

I have read your other questions and it is really difficult to listen to someone who didn't even have a DATE until they were 25 talk about resisting sex. Of course you didn't have sex when you were young... no one would go out with you. Sorry to be harsh, but you keep harping on the same self-righteous message and attacking the same general group (teenagers).
I am a teen and neither weak minded, spoiled, nor afraid of my parents. Thanks.
Edit: It is also ridiculous to attack a general group (teenagers) based on questions you read on Yahoo Answers. Yahoo Answers is not real life, and is not an accurate representation of the general population.

Kids these days are bombarded by the media while their parents are too busy to sit down and spend time and instill good morals on their kids, instead this happens through the media they attempt to emulate. My childhood was very different than most, i wasnt spoiled, didnt have a boyfriend before the age of 16 and never felt pressured to have sex, as a teenager I didnt have sex. I waited until i was engaged. I also know i can go to my parents about anything. PARENTS NEED TO SPEND TIME WITH THIER KIDS AND MONITOR THEIR MEDIA. Rap music also doesn't help kids these days either

I'm 19 and i dont really talk to my parents about things going on because the never established that relationship. the times i do discuss things with them it comes out with me getting in trouble so i rather deal with things on my own. as for being spoiled.. im not. i have good things but that is because i have worked for it. i dont ask my parents for luxuries like a phone, car, or expensive purses and clothes. that all comes to me because i work hard for it. for the teens out there who listen to their friends opinions about sex and dating i would say i agree. they listen to their friends and that is the stupidest thing you can do. if you get pregnant your friends arent going to be there to help you take care of the baby. i think that parents should have an open relationship where their child can talk to them about anything. i didnt get that and know that it was something that i really missed out on and really needed. kids these days have to get their priorities straigh. go to school and get an education, stop letting your friends influence you so damn much and do what you know is right.

Part of the problem is the mass media. The mass media is perfect. Actors and actresses have not a hair out of place. Their bodies are perfect, and they are always funny, dramatic, or whatever they are supposed to be at just the right times.
I think that people who watch a lot of TV become so accustomed to perfection that they cannot tolerate imperfection. All "appropriate" thoughts, questions, and attitudes are presented to them by their perfect mass media. They tend to shun, and even despise, independent thought of any kind--especially when it runs contrary to the prevailing "thoughts" dished out on the airwaves.
So people who plug in to the mass media shun the most imperfect of all activities: thought.
