What Do You Think On Teen Having Sex And Getting Pregent At Such A Young ?Age?

Answer 1

It's been happening for eons. No, there's really no way to stop it. You DO have higher odds of NOT having it happen to your kid if you educate them about their bodies and sex. If you leave it up to the public school system, you're really leaving it up to their friends!

On an emotional level, I think it's heartwrenching. Teens aren't ready for the emotional aspect of sex (and they don't realize it for the most part until after they've already done it). THAT is the part we REALLY need to emphasize for teens--sex isn't just a physical act!

Answer 2

I agree that 13, 14 and 15 is too young. Although I do not feel qualified to make a judgment on anyone in particular, I do know that at the age of 13-16 I was too immature to handle such responsibility. I still think I am to immature to be sexually active and I think that most kids that lose their virginity at a young age will regret it later. I'm pretty sure that anyone at that age will look back and wonder what they were thinking... I just don't understand many young teens these days.

Answer 3

I think it's awful. i was 25 when i had my first and i still was not ready. I can not imagine being a teen and having a baby. They have so much growing up to do at that age. My daughter is 8 years old and i will be having the sex talk when she is curious and i will supply birth control and condoms when she becomes sexually active. I do not condone her having sex but i know, a teen will do it regardless and i would rather have my daughter use protection and not get pregnant at such a young age. They really ruin their whole life having a baby as a teen. A baby is a lot of hard work and not all fun and games and teens really need to realize that. It's another human being you have to take care of and i will preach that to my daughter. She sees me with her 10 month old brother and she realizes it's a lot of hard work so hopefully, i have helped her not to get pregnant at a young age, just by simply having her brother. She has been saying since she was 6 years old, she does not want kids.

Answer 4

There are two major problems with teenage sex. One is that teens are so ... scared of their parents reactions that they don't talk to them about sex and how to practice it safely. This leads to pregnancy, the spread of STD's and having sex before you're emotionally ready (which is not an age thing, but a matter of maturity). The second problem is the parents. They are often so against it or too embaressed to talk about it that they end up making their children feel like they can't talk about it with them and don't educate their children correctly. You can't stop teens from having sex, all you can do is try to be there for them when it happens, to be open to talking about sex at any time, and to educate them at a young age. Because lets face it, some kids have sex as young as 11 years old for whatever reason, and a lot of the time they are completely uneducated because parents won't talk to their children until their kids are older.

There's nothing WRONG with teenage sex as long as you are being safe and are emotionally ready for it.

Answer 5

I honestly think that before any teen decides to have sex that they should get really educated about sex and what are the physical consequences at such a young age, as well getting educated on STDs and pregnancy....Teens need to realize that having sex is a huge responsibility and can have huge consequenses.

Answer 6

The symptom to the problem is teens getting pregnant, the problem is, their aren't enough involved parents. When your not talking or educating your kids, even more when your so consumed with issues going on in your own life that you neglect your children your going to continue seeing pregnant teens. If kids have nothing to do, or nowhere positive to spend their time their going become more curious about actually trying things, like sex and drugs, etc. You have to talk to your kids and not just when they bring it up in their teenage years, no, you have to start young, age appropriate, but still young. Also theirs not enough men in the home teaching their daughters what a relationship means, or how a boy should treat a girl. And when a young girl whom is fatherless meats a boy that shes interested in, she looks to them for that male affection. See the problem is the parents, a kid gets there first modeling from the home, and if the home ain't right then the kids are just going to imitate what they've learned. And if there not learning, then guess what, we wind up with pregnant teens and more fatherless babies!

Answer 7

Teens have sex for many reasons....to fit in, peer pressure, wanting to grow up faster...whatever the reason may be, many of them are becoming pregnant as a result. They aren't educated about birth control and STD's. Parents need to talk more to their kids.

I personally lost my virginity at age 14. I became pregnant at age 15. My parents talked to me and I knew about STD's and pregnancy...I was even on birth control (that I failed to take regularly)...and I wasn't a "WHORE"....However, I was "in love" and needless to say became pregnant. I also finished school, graduated college and am now a successful librarian. I am a single parent of 2 children, but they gave me the motivation to become successful. I didn't want my mistakes to turn into their problems. There IS hope for these teen parents. I'm not sayin teen pregnancy is a "good" thing, and I HATE when teen mothers use it as an excuse to be lazy and leech off the government.

Answer 8

A lot of tennager have sex and get prgent so young because they want to be together and have a family. Others reason for teenagers to have sex so early because they know their parents will pair them up with someone else. So if they have sex and is pregent then their parents can't do anything but let them get married.

Answer 9

i think they are only getting pregnant because they think the person they are with will stay longer with them. they also have a baby so they can have someone to love and someone to love them back but it doesnt alwayz happen that way. i think they should wait until they know they can take care of a child on thier own. i was pregnant once to but i had an abortion because i wasnt ready for one and couldnt take care of it yet and i learned my lesson from that. i hope they learn their lesson too. first they say their child is going to have this and that but when the baby is born it aint the same as what they thought at first. its much harder than that. i just hope they learn like i did and dont have any kids until your ready.

Answer 10

I think that it's a bad idea. They may think that it's cool and this and that, but they do not realize that they are throwing their life away. A baby changes everything. Having a baby forces one to grow up. It brings on financial responsibilities and often times it becomes necessary to drop out of school.

A teenager that chooses to have a baby is choosing to throw the good times and precious years away they are forcing themselves to become adults.
