Teen Pregnancy and Religion?

Question

I'm doing a research paper on teen pregnancy in the USA and am looking for how religions influence teens and s*x. I would love to have diverse answers, I am looking for any branches of Christianity, Islam, Buddhist, Sikh, Hindu, etc. I request that no one bashes another religion or person. This is simply for research purposes. If it's possible, I'd love to know your real name and city to be able to site you as a source for the final paper. My email is unlocked here, so you can email it to me if you aren't comfortable posting in this thread.

Thank you for your time,

Amanda

Answer 5

I come from a catholic background, so far what I understand. When it comes to religions influence on teens and s*x, according to the catholic/christian religion, people should wait to have s*x until marriage. And teens should follow a path of chastiy and abstain from s*x until marriage.  

Answer 6

Well, Christianity is the prominent religion in the US, and I personally believe that it's stance on sexuality is archaic. The whole "Abstinence Only" idea is only contributing to ignorance which leads to pregnancies and STDs. s*x education is important and the Religious Right needs to wake up.
