    Okay...

    So why are kids having sex at such a young age?

    I'm 16 and I'll admit, I'm a kid. In comparison to a healthy age of a parent.

    I mean, honestly. I can't count how many topics I've seen where kids in middle school or barely in high school are pregnant!!

    Let me say that again...PREGNANT!

    Do people not teach that sex has consequences? Condoms don't always work. Even the pill has to have a failure rate.

    I mean, someone needs to reach out to teenagers(such as myself) and tell them not to do that! I have the sense not to, but evidently many don't.

    Any thoughts?

    I agree with pretty much everything you said, but you can tell them all you want, it isn't going to make much of a difference. They teach sex ed, so people know the consequences, but they do it anyway. I know, because some of my friends aren't virgins, and that makes me angry at them, and scared for them, because they don't seem to understand the consequences. I KNOW they aren't ready for children (or STD's for that matter). It's not that they aren't good people, but I know they couldn't handle having a child. The only 100% gurantee is abstience. I am a firm believer in no sex before marriage (yes, I know, you don't want me to preach it), but a lot of people aren't, and I am truly worried for people who have sex before they're married, because there are all sorts of bad things that can happen to them.

    You can tell people all you want, but most won't listen to you, sadly.

    Thank you! Someone who has sense!!

    I am also a firm believer in sex after marriage. True Love Waits. Of course.

    Oh I am so glad someone gets what I'm saying.

    I am glad someone else also agrees with me. I thought I was like the only one on here!!

    Also I agree, true love does wait, there are other ways to show someone you love them.

    I know! Since when did kissing get so over-rated?

    And honestly, even holding hands?

    Like that giddy little feeling when the guy first holds your hand.

    Jeez.

    I know, that is a wonderful feeling!!! rotfl!! I really don't understand why people do that(have sex)!!

    You should e-mail me sometime (on my profile! I know the post'll get deleted if I post my e-mail address on it)

    i agree with everything you're saying.
    but thats how todays world is. you gotta get over it, and dont complain over what other people do. if you cant change how something is, why complain about it?

    *shrug* Teenagers do whatever they please most of the time.

    Are you telling me I'm ugly?? lol, JK! No, it's a belief, and just because I have what I look like in my profile, doesn't mean I want to have sex, how did you manage to get that conclusion? Just wondering, I mean, because I tell people what I look like in my profile, I want to have sex with them?? Ok, just a little confused there....

    But I do agree with you on why kids have sex, one does it, they all do it!! lol

    Lol okay!

    Kori- I'm not complaining. I'm just wanting to see how others react to this downfall of teenagers, if you will.

    Ellie- Also a very nice point.

    ShhDontMove- you also bring up very valid points. But there is a failure rate on condoms. Even if the guy is a condom genius, something can still go wrong. Nothing in sex is a sure thing not to get pregnant or impregnate someone.

    And I too have no idea what having a picture of yourself on here and abstinence have in common.

    I agree with everything that you said, I'm still young or maybe barely even a teen but I just believe to have sex after your married and your sure that you luv that person. Thats wat my parents say and its wat i believe

    so im only 15. im a virgin still, but i mean my boyfriend talks about if often now, and yah its kinda scary, you think well maybe he wont talk to me anymore, or maybe im ready to have sex. but really honestly, i know im not ready to have it! i mean its such a HUGE thing! but some people just cant say no or something i guess, who knows!

    Disappeared and Forgotten- I'm glad you think like that. It works, I promise.

    Tiffany- If your boyfriend is 15 and pressuring you to have sex, he isn't worth your time. At 15, they're still struggling with raging hormones. As are you. Guys just don't think with their heads most of the time when they're going through all the puberty and crap. At least that's my opinion. Some guys are different. But it seems to me that if this guy is pressuring you, hes a scumbag. Sorry to tell you.

    they just wannabe like everyone else..
