What are your opinions on teen s*x...?

Question

what are your opinions on teen s*x?

and another question, if you are 15, in love, and have s*x after a year in a relationship, is this inappropriate if protection is used?

Answer 1

I don't think any teenagers would really have that great of a relationship. Most people don't go on to marry the same person they were with in high school. And something like "my parents, or grandparents did" isn't an excuse. Times have changed. People go on to college, and they drift apart. Knowing someone for 1 year as a 15 year old is different from knowing someone for one year as a 22 or 30 year old. You will not spend as much time together as an older couple might, and you don't have any of the worries that older couples might, therefore your relationship will not be as strong, so I think that having s*x in high school at all is inappropriate no matter what. 15 year olds are kids. Kids shouldn't have s*x. There is time for all that when you are older.

Answer 2

I agree with what the other person said, its ALWAYS appropriate when protection is used. But really, I believe in abstinence. If you're 15 and in love then just do stuff other than s*x! Wait til you get married. Cause if you're that serious with whoever it is; you'll probably end up married to them anyways.

Answer 3

This is exactly why our country is in the mess that it is. 15 years old is way to young to handle any kind of adult consequences. That is why the teen pregnancy rate is up then everyone has to go on medicaid and welfare. Grow up, get an education and a job. Be able to support yourself if you get yourself in any kind of trouble instead of running to mommy or the goverment to get you out, when you can do that, you are ready.

Answer 4

It's always appropriate to use protection. Anyone who tells you otherwise is an idiot!! I think you should always wait until you are older to have s*x. Enjoy your teenage years without a screaming child on your hip.....it will be more fun

Answer 5

Being 15, you're probably not in love. You just love the person.

I'm 15 myself, and I'm not completely against having s*x when you're a teenager, as long as you aren't promiscuous or unprotected.

Precautions have to be made when you're thinking of having s*x at such a young age.

In the end, I think s*x should be left until you're older, and can take more control of your actions.

Answer 6

I am against it. Teenagers are not nearly mature enough to handle s*x- let alone the consequences that come when it is unprotected. Since the beginning of time we have known that having unprotected s*x can lead to an unplanned pregnancy. Teens are still just kids themselves- so their willingness to take the risk to have one is puzzling to me.  

Answer 7

"Protection" is a myth. It fails completely for some girl, every single day.

That's a real girl with a real unplanned pregnancy or disease. Her intentions to be "protected" are now irrelevant. Reality bit her.

So if you're not ready for pregnancy and parenthood, you're not really ready for s*x. To think otherwise is to think you can walk in the casino and gamble, without ever losing money.

Is "I just want the jackpot" a reasonable position to take?

Answer 8

Because "protection" isn't guaranteed, and because it doesn't protect from the emotional consequences from s*x, the use of "protection" can NEVER make an "inappropriate" action "appropriate".

From a religious perspective, "teen s*x" equals "unmarried s*x" equals "fornication".  Fornication is a sin in most of the world's religions.

From a realistic perspective, "teen s*x" (which usually implies "under age s*x") is not only illegal, but it's illegal because the participants are simply too immature to fully understand the consequences of their actions.  As such, they should not participate in that sort of activity.  Sort of just like under-aged children shouldn't drink, under-aged children shouldn't engage in s*x.

Answer 9

I was in a relationship for 2 years and never had intercourse, I was 15 and 16 while in that relationship, i wasn't ready for the responsibility's that came with it, pregnancy, STD's, etc. Thank god i didn't because i meet my husband when i was 17 and when i lost my flower is was so special, i am so happy i waited, i was 18 when i got pregnant. I would always use protection of some sort, unless your ready for a baby, i was 19 when i had my first son and was SO NOT ready, I'm 21 now with a newborn and my son, i love it but i wish i would have waited til i was out of college. i do think its inappropriate but look at society jamie lynn spears was what 16 when she got pregnant, its not okay always use protection, i was on the pill and using the pull out method when i got pregnant with #2, we now are using condoms and the pill. hope this helps

Answer 10

I have a problem with it if its unprotected or rash. I personally do not engage in pre-martial s*x, but I do not frown on others as long as they are in a proven steady relationship for some time and use protection.

Answer 11

Honestly I believe teens shouldn't have s*x unless they are financial able to handle having a child.  I also believe that at 15 a child is way to young to fully understand the ramifications of their actions.  It only takes one error in birth control to get pregnant.  I also would caution that at 15..and I really don't mean this to be a harsh statement, but it is young love.  True love comes with maturity, sacrifice and life experience.  Do you really want to run the risk of having a child with someone at 15 that would likely not be with you for the long run.

Lets put it this way.  Even with protection you run the risk of getting pregnant.  Before you say that is so slim...My husband and I have adult friends who were in a committed relationship, using two very reliable birth control (a condom and birth control) and still got pregnant.  Thankfully they are more than able to provide for their child in every way possible.  The reality is a 15 year old no matter how mature really doesn't have the ability to do so.  

Answer 12

To your second question, I don't think it's strictly inappropriate, although it depends who you ask.

I would definitely have a chat with your family (even just your mum, or whichever parent your closest to) about it. I regret not telling my my parents before I lost my virginity (yes, at 15), because when they found out later it wasn't too pretty. They did help me out when they found out though, mum took me to the doctor to get on the pill and whatnot.

Ultimately, s*x always carries risks - STDs, pregnancy, emotional and physical side effects - but if you're ready and you've got the support of the people who are most important to you, then proceed (with caution!)

Answer 13

I think 15 is young. But everyone is different. Some are not mature enough to handle the responsibility at that age and get put themselves at risk. Other kids are more mature and are smarter about it. It is important at any age to engage in safe s*x practices.

If you dont want to get pregnant take the necessary action to avoid it. You should be mindful of protecting yourself from STDs and use protection. Once you are sexually active you should get annual checkups at a gyn.

IF the teen is responsible and is not promiscuous, the s*x is concentual, and for the right reasons (like you said, dating for a while so there is trust, in love etc) then I think it's OK (although 15 is still a little young in my book).

15 year olds brains are still growing. think back a few years at some decisions you made and now that you are older you probably would have done things differently. In a few years you don't want to look back on the decision to have s*x and regret it. So dont rush into it. If you have any hesitation, dont do it. Wait.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with waiting.  

Answer 14

its ok as long as your in a stable relationship, in love and using protection. and if i criticised someone for that it'd be a serious case of pot calling the kettle blackarse
