teenagers...........sex?

Question

Why is everyone so agaisnt teens having sex. like i dont really see the problem wit it.

Answer 1

it was fun when I was a teen

Answer 2

Ok, Em, just going to lay the facts out for you:

*Teens get pregnant more easily because their eggs are fertilized more easily. In general, pregnancy is a risk, and teenage motherhood isn't exactly a prize.

*STDs are on the rise, and if the teens of America could abstain, the numbers would decrease.

*Older people are against it because, in the past, sex has been one of those things not even accepted until marriage!! Recently, premarital sex has become a norm. Teen sex will take some time for people to get used to.

Hope that made sense for you.

Answer 3

because almost all teens, especcially 17 and under, dont understand the concept of sex and how to stay safe. the world is overpopulated enough without a bunch of pregnant 14 year olds walking around. sex should be with a person that you are in love with. anyone that young doesnt have the life experience to know what love is and how not to get hurt, emotionally and physically.

Answer 4

It's not usually the sex they have the problem with but the consequences of the unprotected sex. Teen parents and teen disease rates are horribly high and people are against both of those because teens lack the resources to care for themselves and any children they have.

If you're going to have sex, make sure it's protected sex.

Answer 5

uh huh.. that shows how much you know!

First of all, you could get pregnant

Then there are these:

Chlamydia. No symptoms may occur at first or at all, especially in women. Later symptoms for women may include itching around the vagina, a yellow, odorless discharge from the vagina, pain during sex, and needing to urinate often or having pain when urinating. Women may also have bleeding between periods or dull pain in the pelvic area. Symptoms for men may include pain or burning when urinating and a watery, milky-colored discharge from the penis.

Gonorrhea (or "GC"). Men may have a thick, yellow discharge from the penis and pain when urinating or may have no symptoms. The opening of the penis may be sore. Gonorrhea doesn't cause symptoms in most women. When symptoms do occur, women may have white, green or yellow discharge from the vagina, pain when urinating, spotting between periods, or heavy bleeding during periods. Sometimes fever and abdominal pain occur. Gonorrhea can cause sore throats in people who have oral sex or can cause pain in the anus in people who have anal sex.

Syphilis. Early signs include a chancre (a painless, red sore). The sores may appear where you were touched during sex, including your genitals, anus, tongue and throat. The glands near the chancre may swell. A few months later, you may have a fever, sore throat, and headache, not feel hungry or have joint pain. A scaly rash may appear on the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. After these symptoms pass, you may not have any symptoms for a number of years. When the symptoms return, the infections can affect the brain, spinal cord, and skin and bone.

Caused by viruses

Hepatitis B. Symptoms may include muscle aches, fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, headache and dizziness. As the disease worsens, you may have dark urine, loose, light-coloured stools, yellow eyes and skin, and tenderness in the liver area (just below the ribs on the right side). Hepatitis B can be fatal if it leads to liver failure or liver cancer.

Herpes. Symptoms start with tingling or itching around your genitals. Small blisters may form in the area and then pop open. When this happens, you might feel burning, especially when urinating. The sores then turn to scabs. During the first outbreak, you might have swollen glands, fever and body aches. But some people don't have such obvious symptoms. Outbreaks may occur for the rest of your life, but usually become less frequent and less painful with time.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV is the virus that causes AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). It weakens your body's ability to fight off disease. As your body's immune system weakens, illnesses begin to develop until you can no longer fight them off. Symptoms may take years to develop and may include unusual infections, unexplained fatigue, night sweats and weight loss.

Human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV may cause a growth of soft, flesh-coloured warts around the genital area or on the cervix. The warts are painless, but may be bothersome because of the way they look. Sometimes the virus causes warts that can't be seen by the naked eye. There is a link between some types of HPV and cancer of the cervix; this is why Pap smears are so important.

And that's only to name a few. Those arent even some of the worst ones, such as AIDs.

The thing is, everyone is so againest teens having sex because it can be dangerous, and there are many chances you are taking when you have it before your married. Most of the time, condems and latex stuff doesnt even work.

Answer 6

teens are not able to handle the respnosibilities. even if you use protection, accidents happen teens cant handle going to school having a job and handling a baby. also what about STD's accidents happen besides you need to save your self for the man or woman you truly love after you get married

Answer 7

Do you not know?

Pregnancy!

Come on, Emily, would you rather be pregnant and your life screwed, or lead a successful life THEN have a kid afterwards?

You said you wanted to be a cheerleader, right?

Well, those kind of people are one target for sexual activity.

I swear, if you get pregnant in the ninth grade, I'll find you and personally tell your head off.

Now shut up.

Answer 8

There is nothin wrong with it. . . . .its just that its not the age for doing that stuff. . .. . .and then many kids get pregnant because of lack of knowlegde. . . . . .so its not advisable. . . .plus many people may be physically ready for sex but they're not ready for it mentally and emotionally . . . . i'm 17 and i've already done it but then again i knew i could take whatever came my way and so i went on . . . . . .another reason its looked down on is because many kids mistake crushes for love and they commit themselves to things that won't last

Answer 9

With that type of attitude others have a right to be concerned with teen sexual activity.It is not a recreational sport.It should not be entered into without a lot of thought to consequences.I would say you ( or children your age) are too young to be sexually active.

Answer 10

there are several reasons.
stds are EVERYWHERE and thats disgusting.
if you get pregnant what are you going to do?
are you financially or emotionally ready to handle that?
most teens arent.

and dont think that you wont get an std or pregnant. no one is above it.

plus no one wants to be number 25 that youve been with.

Answer 11

Two things: pregnancy, AIDS.

There's this whole thing about the past and a guy making sex look really bad, but if you use protection it should be okay.
