why is it important NOT to have sex at a early age.?

Answer 1

Your answer IS the subject under which you asked this question.

Answer 2

younger people don't have the same regard for life as older people do, therefore they will risk theirs and the lives of others more easily than an older person might. What I am referring to is that younger people will have unprotected sex because they don't have the firmest grasp on the reality of contracting HIV or spreading the disease to other people. Also, In the event that a young girl gets pregnant, which is also a big risk with young people, it will likely not end well for the baby no matter what happens. This is also a tragic example of youth's disregard for the lives of others. It's too bad that sex has become such a hazardous activity. Naturally, I believe a person is mentally prepared (not to mention physically) for sex at the age of about 16. And in a simpler, more innocent society, this wouldn't be such a problem, but in today's society it is a problem and kids are having sex more and more at younger and younger ages like 14 and 13 years old. I don't believe any 13 year old can even grasp the idea of what sex is even supposed to mean.

Answer 3

Many believe the human body is not mature enough to have sex at an early age. Also, it is the fact that the person could get pregnant which is too big of a responsibility to handle while one is still in school and parents do not want to deal with their child having a baby at such a young age.

Another thing is the chance of getting a disease from your partner.

Basically, you are risking many things if you were to have sex at a young age and should wait until your body is more mature and ready for sex.

Answer 5

There are many reasons both physical and psychological. Youngsters are not prepared physically to engage in sex because their bodies have not yet matured. Many a young person, both male and female, has suffered from bladder infections and yeast infections. Then there are complications from pregnancies which are almost all ways high risk because it is too soon. Preeclampsia, hypertension, and even gestational diabetes are common among very young teen mothers because they don't know enough about nutrition to ensure a healthy diet is followed. Nor do they always get adequate prenatal care or follow the advice of their obstetricians. Then there are the problems that society has to deal with by using our resources to support teen moms and their children for years!
(As an educator, I wish it were MANDATORY for teen parents to be enrolled in parenting classes as a condition of CUSTODY. Only if they passed a series of classes and a practicum observation by a certified child care clinician would they be allowed to keep their children. Otherwise, a guardian would have to be assigned. Just think of the long term negative consequences we could avoid if we had such laws on the books and enforced them. We might end up a more literate and less criminal society for starters. But, I digress.)
STD's are another area of concern for both sexes.
Psychologically, youngsters are not prepared for the emotional changes that a sexual encounter can generate. The don't know how to protect one another from emotional damage by being thoughful and sensitive to a partner. Many ADULTS haven't mastered that either.
Children who engage in sex don't fit into the world of adults or their peers. They may try to act too "fast" or withdraw and become depressed.
Ultimately, marriage is the best choice for anyone before engaging in sex. It is the best chance to avoid emotional and physical problems. Laws ensure that those who marry are at least physically mature enough to engage in sex. Manogamy would cure the world of many a ill behavior if we would all practice it.

oh--- HPV

Human papilloma virus (HPV)

99 percent of cervical cancers are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV).

There are over 100 different types of HPV of which only about 12 are important. Each virus is assigned a number and the five types most commonly associated with cervical cancer are 16, 18, 31, 33 and 45.

HPV is a common virus that can be passed on through sex. It usually causes no symptoms at all. In most women, the immune system will get rid of the infection so they might never be aware of it. Only a small proportion of women with the HPV types listed above will develop cervical cancer.

HPV is from the same family of virus that causes genital warts. However the types of virus that cause genital warts do not put you at greater risk of developing cervical cancer.

Other risk factors for cervical cancer include the following.

* Starting to have sex at an early age (before 17) may expose the cervix to HPV at an especially susceptible time. Plus, the more sexual partners you have, the greater the risk of getting HPV.
* Using the contraceptive pill long-term may increase the risk of cervical cancer. Using the pill may discourage women to use barrier methods such as condoms, which give some protection from HPV. However for some women the benefits of using the contraceptive pill outweigh the risk of cervical cancer.
* Women who smoke are more likely to get cervical cancer than non-smokers.
* A weakened immune system from autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or taking immunosuppressant drugs after an organ transplant increases the risk.

Answer 7

well from a guys point of view i would say that it is not important to have sex because first of all some guys would just want to so they can just get some. but its very important to save your virginity to the very person u love because u will never know what can happen, even if u use protection, i might rip and u might not even know. thats why people should not have sex at an early age, well i gave u the best information i could bye

Answer 8

People who have sex at an early age do not have a full understanding of STD's, Pregancies, or Safety, or even AIDS But adults as well are not aware of all the extra baggage sex has. Although, adults are more educated than a child would be! Kids should not be thinking about sex anyway!

Answer 9

There are more important things to accomplish first before you end up spending all your spare time having sex, looking for sex, spending time around people trying to get you to have sex, etc.

The emotional considerations are huge.

Also, abstinence is 100% effective at preventing pregnancy and STDs, including STDs that go un noticed. For example, women with multiple partners have a higher risk for cervical cancer.

Answer 10

Well, I'll tell you one thing. I started having sex at 16. I didn't really begin to ENJOY sex until my mid 20s. I don't think you're body is developed enough at a young age to get any benefit from having sex.

Answer 11

Cervical cancer, for one thing. HPV is a virus, very common, and condoms do not really protect you from it very well. You get it through skin-to-skin contact, and condoms only cover part of the skin. It can cause cancer of the cervix.
There's a vaccine, but it doesn't prevent all forms of the virus.
The same virus causes genital warts, which is a very unpleasant experience, and in some cases can cause life-long problems, including vocal cord polyps in the babies you may want some day.

The same is true of herpes. Painful. Very common. Skin-to-skin transmission, and you could have it for life.

Of course there are other STDs, such as gonorrhea & chlamydia, both of which can cause infertility. Fortunately condoms can protect you from these.
And let's not forget HIV.

AND let's not forget pregnancy.

So, every sexual partner you have should be WORTH the risk. He/she should be somebody who you think you could very well be with forever.
