teenage girls (13-17) I am asking this again.?

Question

why is it that some of you girls choose to have sex at a young age, and yet don't use some kind of contraception (condoms, birth control). Did it ever occur to you that you are putting yourself up at risk for pregnancy, and STD's? Did yall not take sex education? I am not being rude or anything, but this is something that I have been reading on the forum lately. Please, protect yourselfs young ladies, or else you will regret it for the rest of your lives.

thank you for your responses. I never mentioned my age, but I am in my early 20's actually.

also the reason why i had asked the question is because more and more teen girls are going into early parenthood missing out on the rest of their teen years. i would like to try to get the message across that safe sex can prevent alot of things from happening. hope i made myself clear. :)

Answer 1

Sadly not everyone has access to the important information you learn in sex ed. I was fortunate to have learned what condoms are for when I was 8 years old. So when I started having sex I knew to use a condom every time and I won't get pregnant. We need to make sure everyone knows about birth control long by the time they need to use it.

Answer 2

i know. i am not in your age range. older. sex education helped me alot in school. i am a college student and no way do i want to get pregnant this time in life!

I know i come on here and read sad storied about teens who are getting pregnant by older men like 18 to 20. whihc is a shame. i also question the school ability of their sex ed. my teachers were very open and honest about everything. we asked all the questions and they would give us all the details... lol i had sex ed when i was in 7th grade and again in biology when i was in 10th grade.

but what always got to me were the birth videos! and then on top of that they would show us gross pictures of stds on the genitals and even gohnorreah of the eye! ACK. i didnt knwo there was suck a thing! lol but it was very disturbing..

i also t hink peopel jst want to grow up too fast nowadays. when i was in high school (graduated from h.s. 2 years ago) there was alot of talk abotu having sex. some of my friend even slept wiht people at parties they didnt even know! just to loose their virginity which was completely disgusting to me.. now it seems to be "the cool thing to do"

Answer 3

Im only 14 and i personally choose to get married b4 having sex
but u know that will be a long time from now. My mom says i shouldnt even be intrested in boys at my age (but i am) im just not intrested in having sex, i know what some results from having sex at a young age are...and there bad. i know enuff people that this has happened to, and it just dosent appeal to me. i have this frend and she had a baby @ 15, and shes not doing well in school, and she is thinking about not going to college ( thats a bad idea ) and she is always telling me how bad life is for her. so i never want to be in that situation. i personally think having sex under the ellegal age is pretty stupid ( unless some 1 got raped or sumthing ). I go to a christian school, and it taught us sex ed. in 5th grade. so most of my friends in school know not to do th@. But my parents r from Grenada and they say that "back home" every 1 knows every1 and you could do whatever you want, but now that its such a harmfull world, they choose not let me... whats the word?...go. they dont want me to go anywhere that could put me at risk. ( its gets annoying cuz i cant go to frends houses ) but its out of love and alot of teens dont have that from parents. so i agree with you. and everything you sed. u know about using protection and stuff.


much luv- Ashley

Answer 4

I'll be 15 in march and I am a virgin and proud to be and I am homeschooled sence the middle of 5th gread. My mother taught me about sex stds and all that I knew of all that when I was 8 years old because I asked her and she told me. There is something that pepole seem not to think about such as waaay back in the day ( like before my grandmas time ) if girls wasn't married at 10-12 and having kids something was wrong with them and now adays kids who are 13-17 having children it's like WTF!!!!! now I realize back then they was married so it didn't seem so bad but they was mead to get married so it might as well just as been bad besides only few pepole actualy think it's bad cause there not married most of them think it is bad that they have babies that young because of there age nothing to do with the marrige thing witch if you ask me is retarded. Now personialy I think that having kids at those ages IS to young but every child is a gift from god in my eyes. but yeah there stupid if they don't protect themselfs

Answer 5

Sadly not all young people have the money to access birth control options. Its up to parents to supervise their young teenagers more closely. Where are all the parents?I dont approve of young people having sex as it seems to be getting earlier and earlier. I agree with what you say.

Answer 6

I'm older than 21 and I agree with you all the way. I never had sex before 20 and even then I used protction.

Answer 7

im 15 AND virgin, the only anser to that girls who have underage sex are just plain* STUPID* also because the media glorifies it. everything from movies,adverts,newspapers,magazines etc, they all tlk about how it. it's totally ruling the world man. you can manipulate anyone with sex.

Answer 8

mmost people have that feeling, THAT WON'THAPPEN TO ME!! like you dont budkle up because you think oh car crashes only happen to other peopel nto me, and so the same with sex. and i guess, that they dont want their parents to find out, so condoms might...? idk. but people are just so stupid now.

Answer 9

im 16 but i ALWAYS use protection....its just stupid not to

Answer 10

BECAUSE WE'RE HUMAN!!!!!!!!!!!
