Should it really be a concern that teens are using drugs and having s*x?

Question

We are our own people. The adults have lived their life. Why can't we live ours?

Answer 1

no its ok as long as they use codoms but drugs be concerned

Answer 2

I kinda agree with u cuz i just turned 13. but like some people are just too wild. this girl in my cousins school had 2 abortions and she had them both when she was 14. I personally don't do any of those things but if someone chooses to live their life that way, its really not my business or anyone elses but the person and the people involved.

Answer 3

There should be a limit to things. Teens shouldn't just run wild.

Answer 4

Your right we adults shouldn't be concerned about teens having s*x and taking drugs,,,  We shouldn't have to be concerned about the extremely high teen pregnancies and the young teens that die each year from drug overdose,, Each time I walk into the grocery store I see babys  pushing babys and using food stamps to pay for their food and baby items,, because they are too young to work  but not too young to have kids,,  Yet they know what they are doing and it is their body and life,, as long as the Tax payers (The Adults) keep paying those  taxes that pay for these teens (that want to live their own life) through the WIC program Medicaid and Food Stamp program,,And we shouldn't be concerned when we read about another teen getting killed because of drugs,, No we shouldn't be concerned with your life,,, BUT  WE  ARE AND WILL CONTINUE BEATING OUR HEADS AGAINST A CONCRETE WALL TRYING TO CONVINCE YOU TEENS THAT YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR YOUR SELF,,

  We as adults are trying to protect the teens from making terrible mistakes, that we have made when we were teens,,  .We may not know you personally but we know the situations and the feelings, , We know what is going to happen because it has happened to us,,We as adults are trying to give you the benefit of our experience without you having to experience the pain and heartbreak    I really hope you think about your question      Good Luck

Answer 5

It only takes 1 little mistake like "Oops, I put the condom on wrong, and it broke!" to alter the course of your life permanently. Be careful :)

Answer 6

your obviously a teen.

an adult has NOT lived their life. they still are.

most of the time they tell you not to do things because they did it as kids and it messed things up...

theres a reason teen pregnancy is up...

so is teen suicide.

drugs and s*x don't make you feel good. It'll take a while to figure out but the release of endorphins will never match the stress of messing everything up and never getting anything.

Answer 7

Yes i should be....teens are having s*x earlier and earlier....and alot of the times unprotected...it happening even before the teens..its a major problem

Answer 8

Why is it that teens are so hooked on s*x and drugs?

Can't you think of better things to do with your time, some things that'll make you purely happy without questioning it like you are right now?

Of course it should be a concern that teens are using drugs and having s*x, those are things that you should never take casually. Never.

Answer 9

Ok, here are some reasons WHY adults worry about teens:

You can't get a decent paying job to pay for anything...not a car, not an apartment, so if irresponsible teens have s*x...it becomes SOCIETY'S headache!   If your parents cant take that child, guess what, our tax dollars will have to feed the baby a silly teen made.

Teens dont always make good decisions. You havent lived much of a life to have gained experience.   Yes, adults have lived their lives which is why we tell you the things we tell you so we can prevent from having you suffer.

We dont want you using drugs because then you become addicted.  Drugs cost money, addicts eventually get so caught up into drugs, they steal to buy them, and dont pay their bills, and end up homeless....once again SOCIETY pays for your mistake.   Who is going to hire a drug addict??  You cant perform  your tasks...you have no job, no money, no nothing.

Is this the life we should let our children live??

Should we just let our teens have s*x and get numerous STD's??

Listen, i know you may think adults are tough on teens, but the reality is that teens make stupid decisions...so NO...we cant just let you go around doing stupid things...if that was the case you could just get a job and move out, see how easy it is out there.  

Answer 10

I think it should be a concern that ANYONE is having unsafe s*x and abusing drugs. Not just teens. Having irresponsible s*x and doing drugs is bad at any age. Also, you're probably a teen, and speaking as a former teen, having s*x and doing drugs as a teen is a bad thing because you should just enjoy being young with no worries.
