Young people should know that there are different ways of showing love other than having sex. Write a letter, poem, give flowers, or go on a date. To show your love or feelings for someone does not mean you have to have sex. I think that young people get so caught up in the moment, and they get that feeling of being wanted, and then they make mistakes. Even adults get in that situation, but as teens your job is to be a teen. Go out and have fun with friends, enjoy life, go to school then college, and do some good in your life. I say this because having children when your a teenager can be difficult, but I must always say that it can be done but I don't condone it. You quickly have to become more responsible, you have to set aside some of the things that were most important to you, you have to take care of a child. Whether it be physically, mentally, or financially it has to be done. I also want to point out, that there is nothing wrong with talking about sex with your parents, parent, guardian, school nurse, or a responsible adult that you trust. Don't be afraid, ask questions, and listen. Trust me, history repeats itself, most of the questions you ask Im pretty sure that the adult you ask has had some of the same question when they were growing up. With all of that being said, I would love to see more young people living their lives, and being a bit more responsible. This is all coming from a young parent who has made mistakes, and learned from them. If I can reach a few of you before you decide to take it to the next level, stop and think about it before you do. One move can change your life. I KNOW......
More to come, next will be for the Mothers and Fathers of those Young Mothers and Pregnant Teens.....
Thank you for sharing this! It is very true that teenagers should enjoy what they ought to do at their age. I also feel that they should be given enough exposures and the adults should talk to them regarding this and explain the consequences of having sex and how it is not about the 'feeling-wanted'
ReplyDeleteYes exactly Jasveena. It should not be about the feeling of being "wanted" They need to remind themselves of how it could be in the long run. It could not only be pregnancy, but there are so many diseases out here as well. I think there should be more sex education in school, and last but not least...there needs to be more honesty these days. Be up front and honest with these kids and never sugar coat anything. Because in the real world, things are sugar coated at all. It's REAL.
