My Thoughts on Teenage Sex
Today, you hear a lot about teenagers having sex and many teen girls getting pregnant. Everyone says "use protection...have safe sex." It seems that everyones biggest concern is using protection..condoms, and birth control, etc. But, my question is....why even have sex in the first place? At such a young age, many are still immature and don't make the best decisions. We're telling them it's ok to have sex at 15...as long as it's protected. But I don't think we should just be worried about teenagers getting pregnant. As a christian, I don't believe in having sex before married. I feel like it'd be so worth it to wait and give it all to the one you fall in love with and marry. I dont think it should be just a careless act that makes you feel good for an hour or two. It should be a special, meaningful thing between two people who know they want to be with each other the rest of their lives. I'm not saying everyone should wait until their married, although that's the decision I've made. I'm saying that I think teenagers are too young to have sex. No matter how mature they are. I believe that it'd be a better choice to wait until you're old enough and actually ready. ~Just a thought~

I've been thinking about this topic for a long time now, and I even wrote a article about it, which is pending now.
I am a christian but, I don't know what to believe in..on that part..if you should wait until your married, or not..If you love a person honestly LOVE a person, and your not "hooking" up or "practicing" is should be alright.
I hate the fact that teenagers, (I am a teenager also ;D) feel the need to go out and have sex..just for the fun of it..and theres RISKS..you shouldn't be having sex..if your not serious about taking care of yourself. You have to think before you act, you know? :3
But I have a question:
What do you think of the teenagers who feel they are ready to take that step or who have already taken that step? And if they've already taken that step and they decided before having sex that they we're going to get married when they were old enough? Does it lower your opinion of them as people? (I really don't mean this offensively; I'm just curious about your opinion).
