I really believe that it depends on the teen. But overall, I think that teens should be respectful of both their bodies and their emotions. So, in the long run, I think teens are too young to have sex.

Are teens to young to have sex…I don’t think that’s the real question here…are teens stupid enough to have sex? That’s the question we are looking for. And the answer to that is most definitely, yes. For some reason teens feel pressured to have sex, they feel if they don’t they are rejects. I don’t think we should have to feel this way. See, I’m on of those people who think that sex should wait until marriage. Nowadays nobody really thinks that, teens that is. The only people you hear saying “Sex can wait” is your parents. And of course to teens, anything their parents say is not cool. But the cruel reality of sex is: You could get an STD(Sexually Transmitted Disease), like for example AIDS. Which AIDS= death. And do you really want to die just to have sex? Is it really worth it? Listen, I’m not trying to preach to anyone, I’m just stating the facts. But I guess you can see it through another person’s point of view. If you have been with someone for so long and you trust that person so much. But can you really trust that person? I don’t know what I would do. Personally, feel that no one in my school is worth having sex with, and I think my fellow reporter can agree with me when I say that. *laugh* But maybe some hot movie star in Hollywood would be worth it. Can you say Heath Ledger? *laugh* I’m kidding, or am I? No seriously, I strongly believe that waiting until marriage is the right way, the way God intended it. I mean, do you really want to have AIDS? Do you really want to get pregnant at age 16? I don’t, and I know you don’t. Then you don’t have any time to go out and party with your friends or do anything that fun. You have to stay home and watch the baby. Oh happy day!! So remember if you are wise don’t have sex until you are married, unless Heath Ledger just happened to be walking down the street one day and… I’m kidding! Just say no!! *laugh*

Okay, honestly, no, I don’t think teens are too young to have sex. That’s why whenever girls start getting their period, that’s what it means. They’re ready to have babies. That’s really the whole point of sex too. You have sex to get a kid. It’s not written in blood that if you have sex there will be a kid involved, but it only takes one time to have one. God would not give 12 year old periods is he didn’t think that they were ready. I think that it’s more a bad thing for the parents to let go of their kids because they know their kid is growing up. So once that happens, yeah that girl at least is ready to have kids.
But today, that’s not exactly the question. The question really is, are teens emotionally ready to have sex. God can give them the period, but it takes a lot more than periods to be ready. A lot of teens today do it (at least the first time) because they think it’s cool, they think everyone else is doing it, or they just want to know what it’s like. Most of the time, it’s because they think that everyone else is doing it and it’s cool. They don’t think of all that can happen to them. A guy might sleep with a girl because he sees all of his friends bragging about having 20 girls and he’s had none. So he goes out and has sex with a girl. Little does he know that two months later he’ll be finding out that he’s going to be a father. As soon as he knows that he’s going to have a kid and he tells his friends, then his friends won’t hang out with him that much anymore because having babies is NOT cool. So…let’s get this straight…sex = good, babies = bad. That makes no sense at all. Babies and sex go together. You can’t choose whether or not you’re going to have kids this time you have sex. So if you do, you have to be ready for babies.
Then there’s the whole thing with STDs and all that stuff. That’s not a very cool thing to get either. You might have sex for the first time, but your partner might have had sex 15 times, whether he/she admits it or not. One of his/her partners could have and STD and neither of them knew about it. So that mean that your partner will have it, and so if you have sex with them, you’ll get it too. You never know. So if you have sex, not only do you have to worry about babies, you have to worry about AIDs and other STDs.
There are about three girls in my school that I know of that are pregnant. One of them doesn’t even know who the father is. See, that can happen too. Sort of like a Ricki Lake/Jerry Springer thing. That’s not good either.
Personally, I’m waiting. I agree with Lucilla when she said that there’s no one in our school worth having sex with. So that’s good for me. At least I won’t have the temptation and all my friends don’t want to have sex with every guy they see. Well, except one, who will remain nameless, who is willing to have sex with Heath Ledger. Lol. So this is my advice, don’t have sex.
George Carlin: The pores in a latex condom are one micron in size. The human immunodeficiency virus is one half micron. So, what’s all this stuff about safe sex?
