But it's not even about morals. It's about being mature and physically ready and prepared for the responciblities.
Teenagers who have sex simply don't understand the concept of STDs. They don't understand that becoming pregnant is a very real risk. And they don't understand that once you have a child as a teenager, it WILL ruin your life. Say goodbye to college. You won't have time for it, since now your sole job in life is to take care of this human being you have brought into life. Its a lot of financial responcibility to raise a child. And a couple of kids having sex as teenagers don't have this kind of financial responcibility. On top of that, they are not ready mature-wise to be parents. There is no reason to take those risks. Kids need to be taught about these risks. Under no situation should we say that it is "ok". The risks are too great to take that chance.-jay |
