what are your thoughts about teenage pregnancy & sex before marriage?

Question

type out all your feelings people...it's good for your health...lol

i personaaly am against it due to my religious belief and naturally believe it should all be planned out to prevent any damage or problems.

what do you think? tell me you views and opinions!

Answer 1

My personal conviction is a religious one, but i cannot rightly hold others to that personal conviction.

However, I do believe that mentally, scientifically, and medically, the repercussions for under aged sex and pregnancy do not even begin to be challegened by the benefits.

A child simply cannot mentally handle an adult relationship with sexual factors involved. There is a reason why the legal age is 18, and even then its a frightfully young age to be reproducing or trying to. The emotional and mental handicap it places on a teenagers development is stunning and cannot be reversed.

Medically a teen aged girl is not in optimal health for carrying, delivering, and providing for a baby. Her own body hasnt finished growing yet, taxing it with the needs of a fetus is dangerous to her long term health, AND that of the childs.

On all levels and all facets it is completely wrong for teenagers to have sex for any reason.

Answer 2

I believe that sex before marriage is a positive thing, you gain experience. Now, that doesn't mean I think people should be havng sex with 10 people before they marry, but 3 or 4 partners can be healthy. Why would you want to get in a relationship without having sex with the person, what if your not compatible in that way- sex can be very important in a relationship.

But pregnancy although, I think should definetely be saved until after marriage. If a person isn't mature enough to practice safe sex, they shouldn't be having it at all. Why do people bring children into the world so unprepared?

Answer 3

it depends on your perspective. Many will say the Bible for instance, does not support sex before marriage. However, my personal belief is that where there is a healthy loving relationship where trust and security is recognized as vital - sex before marriage is OK. What difference does it make if the government recognizes your love for someone? I love my fiance as much as i will the day we are married. So really there is no difference between sex before and after marriage when the people love each other and plan on being together. Casual sex though, is setting people up for hurt feelings i think, as well as a lowered self-image. that is probably a bad idea for personal mental health reasons. not to mention the chances of contracting some nasty disease.

Answer 4

Teenage pregnancy: in principal I think it is a bad idea, teenagers are kids themselves and should be able to be as useless as they are until they grow up properly, and shouldn't have to have their life changed by children so soon. Some teenagers are an exception and want to be parents and are mature enough to do it, but why would you want to?

Sex before marriage: I personally have no problems with sex before marriage, but I don't see the point of marriage in the first place. I do firmly believe though that all sex, whether teenage, adult, or other should involve contraception. Unless a pregnancy is wanted.

Answer 5

I think it's entirely up to the person, I prefer my daughter who is 13 to wait for the right person and be older I drill that into her head. I cannot be with her every second of the day and hope that she uses her best judgement. Her friend who was 11 yo had sex with a 16 yo, I was shocked. But these days some things shock me less and less. She also had another friend whose mom is on her all the time, with her, never lets her out of her sight, house whatever, still she managed to spend the night at someone's house and have sex at the age of 13. I asked my other friend if her daughter was still a virgin and she said no like it was no big deal. ARGH, I guess all I can do is drill drill drill and keep talking to her hope that it sticks!!!

Answer 6

i watched a really good movie just yesterday called " pregnant at 16" it was a really good movie and i think that all schools should view it because it really outlines or shows the issues that arise out of teen pregnancy. It just made me see the issue a whole lot more clearer.

The boyfriend abandons the girlfriend
it destroys families because it puts a strain on all those involved.
It's time consuming
it affects your education
you get looked down on by others
baiscally it takes over all aspects of your life

The only good thing they suggested that comes out of teen pregnancy is the gift of a baby, another human life. But they showed that you have to be willing and be responsible and grow up fast if you want to keep the baby

Answer 7

I was a teenage mom and has sex before I got married. I'm not saying that it's OK but it happens. What upsets me is the teenagers that have kids and then the grandparents raise the kids. Big no,no in my book. If you had the baby you should raise it your self. The sex thing if your going to have sex make sure it's "safe sex." Their are so many nasty things out there, I you decide to be abstinent I give you kudos for that. Not many people can wait until until their married. So good for you!!!

Answer 8

Teenage pregnancy: avoid it. It's natural to want to have sex at that time. As biological animals, that's what nature intended. But use protection. There's no good reason not to.

As for sex before marriage - do it. Do it a lot. Live together. Get to know each other. Enjoy your relationships. I can't tell you how many of my friends wanted to remain "pure" until they got hitched. Once that happened they found their sex lives to be so unfulfilled that the marriage either fell apart or the partners simply decided to cheat.

My wife and I dated and had partners before we met and married. We lived together, and had all the important fights over with before we got married. As a result, we're going on seven years of marriage and fifteen years of having been together. I wouldn't want it any other way.

Answer 9

I think that at certian ages and maturity levels its fine for two people to show there love in this way as long as they take the good with the bad and if an unplanned pregnancy happens then they should be able to handle it like adults sense they decided to have sex

Answer 10

I believe that if a child is having a baby it is wrong, I had two children under 19, but i have a home of my own, a stable enviroment for my children. Girls that just want a baby are very ridiculous. I see Maury and see the 14 year old having sex 100 times trying to get pregnant and then end up not wanting one. You just don't want one, God gives you a baby
