How do you feel about teen sex/pregnancy?

[Laurena]

I am watching Dr. Phil right now, and I think it is absolutly rediculous that MEN are telling teen GIRLS that it is wrong of THEM to be performing in sexually intercorse.

I think that a)there is no right for one gender to be speaking to another gender about what they think is wrong of them to be doing. It isn't right for men to judge women. ESPECIALLY when men are known to be more "into" sex than women. and b) there is absolutly nothing wrong with teen sex and that sex has no age.

What do you think?

I'm gonna have to agree with that. But I do think that teens should be more aware of the law.

If u are given a car, u are also entrusted with responsibility. U can not drive it indiscriminately just because the car is yours.
Just because the body is yours, u can not use it to bring life into this world without the means to safeguard it.

You are being sexist they are giving the teens knowledgeable advice as an expert, not as some random person Dr.Phil invited off the street. And women care just as much about sex as males it is just taboo for them to express it. And sex has an age. You shouldn't be having sex before you know to put your blinker on when you are driving. And even then alot of the girls who have sex aren't emotinally ready, they do it because they need a sence of being wanted to assure them that they wont be alone for the rest of their lives.

I agree.....it's a 2 way street. Don't have sex unless you can totally be responsible for the alternative outcomes from that action. On both sides.

I remember a saying my dad said.....don't borrow what you can't afford to replace. Most would say....hey...I'm borrowing it because I can't afford to buy one. Right. So that means you have to be careful and you have to trust that who you are borrowing from, actually takes care of their goods. Right? Never borrow from a person who doesn't take care of something or you will be blamed for abusing something that was their neglect. And there's tons out there that do just that.

Abuse comes from both sides. Blame and responsibility rides on both sides. What doesn't count is ME paying for 2 irresponsible people playing around!

I know my dad....if he borrowed your lawn mower....when he returned it...it would be in better shape than you lent it to him for. Washed, waxed, oil changed, maybe he sharpened your blades......you never use what you can't return in the same shape or better.

People should learn that lesson with each other. Atleast return the person in the same shape you found them, or better... NEVER worse........otherwise....you aren't ready for a relationship.

When I think teen, I think of 16 years to 19 years. That is an okay age to have sex, as long as you are safe.

And, men are known to be messing around at a younger age than when women do.

So no, men have no say in this.

nothing wrong w/ teen sex as long as they're doing it of their own choice. teen pregnancy is a bad idea, so birth control is good.
