Quote from Gunnii

We are biologically programmed to like sex. Unless you are asexual you will probably have most of your sex for pleasure, not babies.

Yes, sex is for pleasure, but children sometimes try to enjoy it without a condom, which is a huge mistake.

this is because the girls are too afraid to ask their parents to go on the pill

it all comes back to fearmongering and suppression

They might also try to buy condoms and pills at the store, but obviously they aren't even old enough to purchase those items.

I know the girls are too afraid or even their parents won't let them, in the case of one of my friends.

But i do believe in the end, parents would rather buy these things for man or woman and know their children are having sex, then being strict and not giving it to them and making them rebel and just have it unprotected and end up with diseases and/or pregnant

Teenagers of any age can get contraception without parental consent in the U.S., but 'morning after pills' can't be bought without a prescription until you're 17, which means you're only right in some specific cases. Condoms and things that will be used in the act can be bought by anyone, even if their parents disapprove. It's a part of their right to privacy.

Pills only stop pregnancy. Its the condom that reduces the chances of STDs, so its generally a good idea to use one regardless if you use the pill or not. The accessibility and effectiveness of a condom makes it superior than any other tool when having safe sex.

I didn't know teenagers could get condoms. Then that should be very helpful.

That was overturned last month, there's no age limit anymore and I believe it's over-the-counter.

The fact kids are interested in the sexual side of relationships at that age honestly isn't that surprising, considering how much of the media barely keeps it away from us. It's easy for a 12 year old boy to google pornography, follow a porn actress on twitter, a woman on a love cam, anf the media uses alot of things to appeal to our sexual desire to persuade us, plus alot of the media is riddled with "dirty jokes". Since a lot of it is "something only grown-ups do", so a lot of these kids may think doing it will make them feel older. And in a lot of relationships in the media include a lot of sex, some kids may be brainwashed into thinking they should do as boyfriend and girlfriend.
I don't think there's any easy way to stop it, sex is part of animal nature, so the media just uses it to their advantage, and this attracts the attention of everyone, including really young people.

I agree.
Sex is alright, but if you want you have sex without a condom, just make sure that you are prepared for the responsibilities of taking care of a baby.

So that means losing your virginity is alright?
Is this a bump ._.

yes and yes


this is only tangentially related, but i would also like to mention that all the other shit kids in our generation are doing - for example, bullying each other to the point of suicide - are also the fault of the parents.

people just find a scapegoat to blame, so that they don't have to look at how they're raising their kids. in the case of kids becoming more and more sexual, they just blame the generation for being undisciplined and over-sexual, instead of asking why they are undisciplined and over-sexual.

in the case of cyber bullying and other such bullshit, the media loves to criminalize websites for how they are used by a small handful of asshole kids on the internet, instead of asking why these kids are assholes.

hint: it's because you did a shit job raising them

Scarecrow definitely has a good point. The parents get vindictive because, deep down inside, they don't want to admit it's their fault. But, there are also some parents who seriously taught their child well, he/she fell to a bad influence.

Now, I personally don't think early sex is bad (When I say early i mean 15-16) as long as you use a condom or such protection. That's just my opinion.

They don't get vindictive because they know they've made a mistake, they get angry because they don't *realize* they have and so they don't know why things aren't happening the way they wanted.

Yes but I think that deep deep down inside they know it could be them and are in denial.
