Why can't teens have sex?

Question

i mean there is birth control and condoms right? protection! so why do we have to wait to have sex?

and no i havent had sex yet im just wondering and by the way i am 15

Answer 1

They can't have sex because they can't deal with the consequences, i.e. potentially a baby - no protection is 100 per cent, you should know that at your age - and STDs, as well as the emotional problems that come with taking that step in a relationship. Or worse, outside a relationship.

This is clearly a generalisation, by the way - I know not all teens are bad and blah blah blah...

Answer 2

Yeah, there are birth control and condoms. I was on the birth control shot and My boyfriends used a condom and it broke so I got pregnant! The 1st time.
I never thought about having sex at age 15. I had enough changing going on with my body that I wanted someone to see it! lol. I didn't have sex until I was 18. Me and girlfriends met up with some old guy friends had a party! Doesn't matter what age you are sometimes you aren't all there. And later you will regret doing it all the time. I am with a special guy now and I have two kids by him and i wish I could of saved myself for him. When you have sex with someone. You want to make sure that moment is so special that no one could take that thought away and never feel embarrassed about it. (maybe dream about it)
Your only 15, right? what you do is you business and no one Else's. But, be pure and wait until you know you are ready. Because there are so many STD's out there and that would be a shame if your first time you got more then you wanted!!
A baby or disease!

Answer 3

There is birth control and condoms.....but they are not 100% effective. While your body is maturing and you may think you are ready to have sex... are you ready for the chance, even if it is a very small one if you are careful, to get pregnant?
The people that tell you that you can't have sex are trying to protect you. As grown up as you feel physically and emotionally you are not an adult yet and you won't really understand that until you are adult.
Remember if you do make the choice there is no going back. You can't take back your virginity if you realize you gave it to the wrong person.
If you do decide to have sex use a condom EVERY time.

Answer 4

I think it is a maturity thing there is no birth control besides abstinence that can prevent pregnancy or std's 1 in 10 girls get pregnant from using condoms. The aids virus is 10000 times smaller than semen so if semen can get through a comndom 1 out of 10 times how many times do you think the aids virus can it is very scary when you have to take tests like that and sex should only happen when it is between 2 mature people who are ready to acept all conseqences notice i said people not adults i am an18 year old proud mother and it is the life that i want for myself. I am not on drugs i live with my fiance in my own home and i pay my bills and i am going to college it is a lot of responsibility

Answer 5

Birth Control and condom don't always work.
A lot of teenagers have a lot of unprotected sex, just to "have fun."

I get it when you think, I've been with him 6, 7, 8 months, it's not a one night thing.
But when you WEREN'T with him that 6, 7, 8 months do you know who he/she was with?

You don't know if they have an std, and with a lot of std you won't know for a while.
Also, hormones play a huge role in why people don't want teens to have sex. Your hormones are everywhere, and it's just not a good idea..

You should really wait until you're married to have sex for the first time. Not when you're engaged, either.
Imagine your wedding night, not having to have sex and wanting to all the time you were together, and on your wedding night you can do it and not have to worry about anything. Wouldn't that make it so much more special?

Answer 6

Are you mature enough to handle the responsibilities of sex at 15? Birth control doesn't always work - condoms have a 14% failure rate (that's 1 out of every 7). If you do what makes babies, you have to be prepared for the chance of being a parent. Do you really want to be a parent? At 16? Do you really love this person enough to tie your life to theirs and raise a child together? Is 10 minutes of pleasure worth the risk of 18 years of responsibility? Could you handle the emotional pain of abortion or adoption? How would your partner answer these questions?

Answer 7

Birth Control and Condoms are alright... But there's more to it... What about mentally and emotionally? What if your first one was caught cheating with your friend in back of a Hummer? You will most likely end up a wreck... You probably won't even be the same person... I'm 13.. One of my friends is pregnant by a high schooler on crack, as we speak. Now, he is no where to be found and she is alone (no mom or dad). My other friend, a early bloomer, is known as the school slut because she gave hers away at the age of 9. Now, she regrets it..

You want to end up like that? No one can really stop you over the computer.. The choice is yours..

Answer 8

Birth control methods decrease your chance of getting pregnant or contracting an STD. But nothing is 100% sure.

So regardless of age, if you are not ready for a baby, you are not ready for sex. If you cannot support yourself on your own and you can't raise a child, you should but a lot of thought into your sexual decisions.

If you do decide to have sex before you are ready for a kid, please use birth control and condoms. Even that isn't 100% sure. But at least you are protecting yourself as much as possible.

Answer 9

Condoms don't protect you from all STDS. Herpes can still be spread, condoms break, the pill, if not taken correctly will not protect you against pregnancy. Then there is the emotional side. Many teens are not ready for the rejection that comes when a sexual relationship comes to an end and it can cause depression. Also, many teens that engage in sexual activity tend to slack off in their school work because they are too busy with their boy/girl friends.

Answer 10

Teens CAN have sex, but it's a REALLY bad idea too. Yes, there's protection, but protection doesn't always work.

There's a risk of let's just saying, the condom breaking and the girl gets pregnant.

Then that can lead to have a bad life, especially if you're still trying to do school.

And then there's STD's.

See? A lot can happen after one time of intercourse.

Answer 11

Lets see for one birthcontrol is not 100% there is still a change even if its small that a girl could get pregnant. Condoms can break or be defected, you can get pregnant on the pill. STD even with a condom. Most Teenagers are not prepared to handle the consequences that come along with sex. Not to mention many are not emotionally ready for it. Even more for girls because they typical view sex as love, where as most guys even more teen guys see it solely physical. Why do you think most girls often regret their first times, and most guys do not?

Why do you think we see post on her about girls who have gotten pregnant or guys who have impregnated their girlfriends or even someone who got an std asking for help on how to break the news. If they felt they were mature enough for sex, shouldn’t they be mature enough to inform their parents or an adult themselves about their situation?
