Sex is a natural thing,
in the animal kingdom, sex occurs as soon as the female becomes fertile.
Its also a great way to get rid of stress and share love between two people
telling teenagers that they should not be having it unless they love the other person, will not
help, it will just make them do it behind their parents back, most likely with no contraception. |

I agree with K9 on this.
Abstinence only is the stupidest thing I've ever heard from sex-ed. Most kids just ignore the whole
thing because of that one repeated phrase. (which is never good)
You hear kids as young as ten or eleven kinda sorta talking about it, twelve and thirteen they're
actually serious. Late thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen they're ready to experiment.
You get all these problems because parents act like they'll cast the kid out if they have sex (one
of my friends can't even tell her mom she's dating because her mom thinks that dating means sex,
which is a sin according to her). Parents don't talk with their kids about sex more than absolutely
necessary. (For example: Once, when I was in 8th grade, there was this girl who's parents had
basically only told her that sex was bad and to not do it until marriage. She ended up getting the
'birds and the bees' talk from her friends at school [we found out she didn't know more than that
sex gets you pregnant when she didn't get any of the other kids' references, leading to massive
embarrassment] And getting it from her friends meant that it was severely skewed.)
Sex should be taken more lightly than it already is, and we shouldn't be told left and right that
it's a sin and we shouldn't do it, because guess what? Kids are gonna do it anyways. Lack of sex-ed
is where you get unwanted pregnancies and STDs most cases. And if it wasn't forbidden, kids would be
more likely to share what was going on with their parents, reducing the risk of them getting into a
problem. |

When the average life expectancy was 40, getting married at 16 was normal. Just because we have
longer lives doesn't mean the sex drive is turned off; quite the contrary, better health and diet in
the 20th century has dropped the age of puberty to 11-13. Sex is a normal function of all
animals.
The countries and regions where sex is talked about openly and kids are taught sex-ed are the places
with the lowest teen pregnancy rates. The whole reason teen sex is on the increase is the uptight
mentality of "abstinence only". |
