Why is teenage s*x looked down upon, but not adults?

Question

Adults get diseases just like teenagers and have unplanned pregnancies as well. Adults can be irresponsible too.

First of all s*x is not a big thing it is an activity just like basketball I done it tons of times.

Why is it looked down upon

There is no such thing as too young for s*x.

Answer 1

There's definately such thing as too young for s*x.

s*x is more than just the physical - what about the mental and emotional sides that go with it which no child/pre-teen is ready for and most teenagers aren't ready for?

While adults can still get STD's they're more likely to use protection.

And adults are better prepared for unplanned pregnancies because they're also more likely to be in a stable financial situation then a child, pre-teen, or teenager.

Answer 2

because adults forget what they were doing when they were our age!

Answer 3

They have jobs and are more likely to be stable. And a person can be too young for s*x. imagine a 5year old wanted to do it,even though they don't understand it, would you say go ahead?

Answer 4

The fact that you think s*x is just another physical activity means that your parents have not been very successful in teaching you morals or self-respect.  I'm sorry.

Almost every society has expectations against promiscuity, because of the problems in caring for children that come from indiscriminate s*x, and the diseases that quickly get spread.

One should not engage in s*x unless one is financially, emotionally and mentally able to care for a child ON THEIR OWN without government or family help. Why should the rest of the world pick up after your mistakes?   That's why, btw, most adults can "get away" with s*x -- if they get pregnant, they can usually take care of themselves.  Most kids can't.

Answer 5

Because adult brains are fully developed, unlike teenagers.  Yes everyone makes mistakes, but when you're an adult you can actually deal with them.

s*x should be a big thing shared between you and someone you love.  Not some stupid activity.

The way you speak clearly shows that you're too young for any sort of adult decision.

Answer 6

What do you mean? s*x is just and activity like basketball???

It is not a participartory sport to be played after school.  It is part of the long bonding experience of a man and woman who intend to have a family.  

Stop now while you are ahead..you are going either get someone pregnant or you will end up pregnant ...This is the  kind of attitude that leads to teens being looked down on.  It lacks any moral understanding at all.

Do you know what morals are?  You should really find out.

Answer 7

its not an activity holly wood has glamourized it to be but its not it is something to do with someone you love.

and it is looked down upon by adults have you ever seen two adults haveing a baby together they are definitely looked down upon its not something to go brag about. People just think s*x is something that should happen between two people who love eachother and please dont involvo basket ball in this because s*x is nothing like basketball. do you see people naked running up and down the court no you dont so just stop cause like i said before it should be something you give to a special Person(s) not just give it out like its candy
