Okay so what's happening to children nowadays?

Question

Just look at the questions in the adolescent category. Can you imagine as early as 11-12 they are having copulation?

Answer 1

Alot of parents don't parent these days. When parents parented, there wasn't these problems.

Answer 2

The parents are at fault. They don't care enough to know what their children are doing. They are too busy being preoccupied with their "own lives" to worry about what is going on in their children's lives, and some  parents forget that their children are a PART of their lives or that their children are not grown, and still need the guidance of their parents.

Yeah, the world is always changing. Children do seem to grow up faster, but is our responsibility as parents to help our children understand they don't have to be like their "friends" who want to have s*x or do drugs. We need to teach them that the best way to a good life is to be educated.

That is my standpoint anyway.

Answer 3

Well i wouldnt be suprised seeming when i was in school i was around eleven year old boys who smoked pot and watched p**n

Answer 4

They don't have parents, they have "bffs" or parents who simply don't care at all. Everything is "child abuse" nowadays.

Answer 5

And you are surprised? This generation didn't invent s*x. I grew up in the '60's. That kind of thing wasn't new then either. You must not have been paying attention when you were that age.

Answer 6

Yes it is terrible but the children are not the ones to blame but the parents and while I accept that it is going to happen with some of the kids no matter how they are brought up, many just have way too much freedom and time on their hands.  Their parents have no idea what they are up to.  

Answer 7

Parent are trying to be a "friend" instead of a parent.

Answer 8

It is parenting like crazychickscrazyfriend that drive young children into such situations such as drugs, smoking, bad friends and crime.

Can't get the love and right type of care in the home, they seek it elsewhere and settle for the attention they at least recieve.  

Answer 9

I know I shouldn't be surprised, but it does surprise me.  When I was 11 or 12, I didn't have an interest in boys... I knew about s*x but thought it was gross.  I just think it's sad that they are engaging in acts at young ages.  I should really not be surprised... but when I went to the health department the lady said many girls as young as 11 come in pregnant, some even pregnant with their 2nd baby.  It's sad.  I hope that I will be a good parent and carefully monitor my kid's activities so that they will be mature enough to enter into relationships knowing that it's good to have morals and values and fully understand everything.  Anyway, good question... have a lovely day!

Answer 10

well with all this crying it out method children are looking for love and attention at an earlier age

Answer 11

Parents are more preoccupied with other things than raising their kids, a lot think it's the schools job to parent their children.

Also I have realized that kids who actually have goals and are occupied doing things that they enjoy are less likely to be sexually active at such a young age.  Maybe kids are lacking goals.

Answer 12

I know it sickens me. My friend had s*x when she was 13.

I'm 18 and i have decided to wait til marriage.

I see people on the adolescents 13 to 18 pregnant..now that is REALLY BAD
