(Sorry for the double post).

Also, i do not think that it is wrong before you are married, it's just that i would not do it.

AND if you are Christian (only talking to Christians here so don't jump on me about religion), it does go against being Christian to have sex before marriage.

I know that is a Christian thing, but I am going to do some research on the sex before marriage bit. See what I can come up with.

I think as long as they intend to get married or if they intended to have a baby then it's fine. If they didn't mean to, then that's a problem. And no, they shouldn't abort. It's they're mistake.

I don't think intentions are an acceptable perch to stand on with this particular topic. It is a fallacious argument.

Partially yes and partially no. They did choose to have sex and they have to deal with the consequences. However, if they didn't want a baby, it is not like they wished for the condom to bust or other prevention methods fail. Really, this topic can go either way. You can say it is the teen's fault because they chose to have sex. You can also say it is the prevention methods not working. I don't think we can really argue over this topic since there is no right or wrong answer.

Why should they deserve punishment? They made a choice and they should deal with it. This doesn't mean we give them a punishment for having sex. Also, there are people who have kids when they don't have the money to support them so how is that any different from a young person?


I believe you're misunderstanding the use of the word. Not a punishment from some sort of authority. The punishment comes from the baby itself - a odorous, expensive, demanding, thing. If someone feels the need to spend the hundreds of thousands of dollars for something so unrewarding. Anyone who wants the enjoyment should make sure they take the precautions to avoid children.

Schools need sex education that doesn't base itself on abstinence. They need to teach safe sex practices and teach what can happen without practicing safe sex. It should also NOT be a scare tactic, because then it will just go back to abstinence. But without a competent sex education system (in America at least), teen pregnancy will always be a problem.

ya i agree with thelistman and asherlee and weeman it is all about awarness once u teach someone somthing they neverforget it they will always remember and if u tell them that absinence is the only way to go then more teens will have sex just to spite or because they want to so we need a better education system for sexeducation!!!!!!

I am having a lot of trouble understanding what you just said in this part. You said they never forget what they are taught. If that was the case, everyone would get straight A's. Then you said they have sex because they want to. I would think that would be mainly the reason to having sex unless it was rape.

people place love with XXX

while many think they have respondsibility,they simply don't.

kids often think that they have the right tools to be dad and mums.

even though i'm in the age of those 13~17 range,i know perfectly that this ain't straight!

the only thing i can say for sure is that people just dun learn.

Aids,Hiv,Gonorhea,Syphillis.
i feel sad for the products of these irrespondsible people.

they are increasing the death rate and victims of such diseases and overpopulation.

they dun even have the money to support them.

and a weird thing i heard from the radio,at the age of 16,people are permitted to have xxx.
but 18 to buy condom.

this may well be the reason why people are having kids as young as 16~18

The radio lied. I do believe anyone is allowed to buy condoms. Whether you are 9 or 99, it doesn't matter. Also, that is a bad point to say all teens are irresponsible. Yes, most are. However, there are a lot of immature adults and we don't go after them.

I have been buying them since I was 15, there is no legal age. The nurse gives them out for free, as well. Age and immaturity have NOTHING in common. Just because you are young does not make you immature, just like being twenty one and over does not make you mature.

Sorry for being so late to this party but yes the radio lied. No one should be asking you for ID to buy condoms. If they do, you ask for their manager. IF the mgr. balks, you go to the media. Seriously.

They are at more of a risk to get injured, more likely to abort, aren't good at parenting yet, and are more likely to take alcohol or drugs while they are pregnant. It's just a bit 'ol poolpah, so no. Not good.

People don't really seem to get 'good' at parenting until at least around 25 or so, there's a lot of reasons that kids with older parents end up smarter, perform better in school, and are generally more successful in life, but the big thing is that those kids are born to parents in their late 20s to mid/late 30s, which makes ages like 18 to have sex seem even more ridiculous, if you're going to be taking away freedoms, and setting up arbitrary ages to gain those rights, then at least choose arbitrary ages that make sense right?
