Why are teens (not all) ignorant when it comes to sex?

Question

What is it with all the questions teens are asking about " I didnt use a condom and Im pregnant how do I tell my parents?" or I didnt where a condom and my girlfreind is pregnant what should I do?" Simple solution protect yourself and you have less of a chance of this happening. Eveyone thinks sex feels good without protection but think about how its going to feel when you end up pregnant or with some nasty desease and AIDS is now number 3 as far as deadliest deases in the world. What is up with all the ignorance and not using common sence ? Teens are obviously going to have sex but why be so ignorant about it and put yourself at risk, sex can be like russain roullett one time and it can kill you!!!!!

Answer 1

I seen what STD's look like and if some would see that maybe they wouldnt second guess the condom.

As for birth control they need if, if they didnt want the child they need it.

I am one of those ones who has to know if the guy or myself has a std first (and will get tested after every single time I hadd had intercourse)

Answer 2

Teens listen to all the media hype about how they are going to do it because they can't control their hormones... which you just said too.... "Teens are obviously going to have sex..." Well, that is not true. There are still some who don't.

When people say those things, the real message is that the kids are nothing more than a male dog going after a ***** in heat! And that they have no choice.

We need to teach kids that they have choices in their lives and teach them how to make good choices for themselves.

Even with a condom, sex is like Russian Roulette. Condoms don't protect 100% and in fact, nowhere near it. It is "some" protection, but when it comes to STDs, I pefer to be totally safe. And that means no sex or second best is to have sex only in a monogamous relationship. I say second best because if your partner cheats you still may be exposed.

My observation of many teens today is that they have sex just for the sake of having sex, and multiple partners are now the norm. What do we expect when we tell them there is no God, no right or wrong, morality is all relative, and they are nothing more than animals.... a mammal on the earth.

We tell them they come from apes, and expect them to act better? I personally, think more highly of humanity than that and believe our kids can be so much more and that they do have choices about their behavior.

Answer 3

Because few of these kids are looking for answers. Fewer yet are kids.

This place has become just another hangout for people to come to get their jollies off while supposedly sincere, supposedly women come to their aid with all sorts of funs sexual responses.

Try doing some research on them before answering.

Last night for instance, person was all worried because she caught her 12 yr old daughter masturbating, in previous answers she said she was 14. Her questions for the most part had something to sex, and soliciting responses about sex with minors.... so we see a trend here?

So next time someone here says they are 13 and just had sex and think they might be pregnant, answer them as you should, but keep in mind that there is a good chance they are 26 and just had a fantasy about a 13yr old girl and want to see how the world would react if it only came true.

Answer 4

Caz the schools don't even teach it right. All they say is, "don't have sex, but if you do, use a condom" all they're telling them is "since your going to anyway..." A condom does not always work, and whether it holds together or not, it does not protect against STDs. So hopefully these horny little devils will get an STD and the cry and moan the rest of their lives about what they did! Then, maybe they'll learn!

Answer 5

Exactly teens these days need to understand that if their going to fool around with each other behind their parents backs that using protection whether it's birth control or a condom is a small price to pay compared to getting pregnant and/or getting an STD or AIDS.

Answer 6

i agree but with some states not properly informing kids about the risks of having unprotected sex and or condom usage this is what the outcome is. i honestly was dumb about sex until i was taught by my nursing teacher my freshmen year in high school. you'd think that with the technology we have today kids would be more informed.

it also goes back to role models like britney spears showing her crotch and lindsay lohan drinking and partying. they say that it's okay to be out there and be promiscuous and if a teen doesn't have a stable home life then of course they're going to be influenced by these women and men.

Answer 7

Teenagers are not renowned for having sound judgement. Everyone knows sex leads to pregnancy (one would hope) but teenagers always think it can't happen to them.

One great book I'm going to use to educate my kids: The Cartoon Guide to Sex by Larry Gronik. Honest, accurate, has great sections with the facts of pregnancy and STDs and making responsible choices.

Answer 8

okay you cant really accuse all teens ( and when i mean teens i dont mean all teens like you said ) because there is alot of teens that do do it and use protection e.g. condom and birth control pills.. maybe their pregnant or have an std because the pills failed and the condom broke.

Answer 9

well thank you for saying not all or me and my friends would be offended. we all have a crush on someone and the person we have a crush on likes us too but we all are going to stay virgins till we are married(the boys too) most teenagers think it is cool I have read some thing where a teen is deciding to stay a virgin but all of his/her friends think it is cool and tell him/her to join in and then since he/she doesn't join he/ she is picked on and all of them are true stories. so like i said they think it is cool

Answer 10

because nobody teaches them correctly - theyre parents pussy out and leave it up 2 the school - then the kids cut class 2 go have sex and everyone is literally "******" hahaha
