There are a lot of teen mothers growing up in this world wondering, what if I had stayed in school? What could I have become? Would it have made my life easier if I had thought first? Most very young teens have not had sexual intercourse, yet the odds of teenagers having intercourse increases gradually with age. Some teens can be influenced into waiting. All teens have their own opinions about everything that they do and don't do. I personally feel that if you don't want to have sex then you won't. More attention should be paid to teenage girls lacking motivation and emotional inspiration toward their pregnancy. .
Teen pregnancy is an issue that people have been dealing with for years. Just recently it has gotten way out of hand. I think that parents and teachers need to talk about it more with their children and students. Teenagers need to understand that sex is done between adults who love one another. Teens have sex because it feels good not because they love the person they are with. Teenagers have this misunderstanding about sex. This is what needs to stop. Teens need to stop pretending to be adults, and concentrate on being young and taking advantage of that opportunity. Parents should talk to their youngsters about what could happen if they have sex. Sex is not a bad thing. It just seems that way because of all the consequences that could come with it. I feel that sexual abstinence is the best way to go about until you feel that you have found that special person to share such a tender thing with.
Is it the new trend for teenagers to have sex and get pregnant? What is the point? How can a child who has so many things to gain knowledge of in such short time take responsibility for another child? Sex education help prepare the youth for changes in their bodies, sex effects and consequences, and how to respond and deal with dating. Birth control and condoms help prevent sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy.
