Here's a little bit about teens.
They don't like to be told what to do, or be bossed around. Heck, nobody does!
However, I mean teens in particular do not like being bossed around and told what to do.
So, in truth, the Government trying to lower the age of legalized sex and imposing restrictions and punishments on the issue...is actually just causing the teens to become more rebellious, which leads to the increase in the number of cases of premature sex. What I mean is, what the Government thinks they are doing to curb the rise of premature sex cases is in fact, back-firing.
Perhaps the Government is not doing enough in-depth analysis of why the number of premature sex cases are on the rise. I used to think that the number was rising because of the lack of sexuality education in Singapore. However, after reading a few newspaper articles and empathizing with the teens, I do think that other teens might think that defying the Government is something very tempting, daring and such. This would probably lead the teen to defying the law and committing an illegal act...all because he/she wanted to beat the Government; a higher order.
Thankfully, in -whichever school I'm in-, we have critical thinking lessons that teach us how to think well, critically. This helps us analyze things and prevent us from committing heinous acts against the law, unlike some people~
Overall, I think it's quite strange that someone would throw away their future in exchange for beating the Government. When the teen grows up or has faced the music, he/she'll probably realize what a stupid mistake he/she committed.

Premature sex and its effects (oh my!!)
In the previous post, I talked about the causes of premature sex (and of course, you are very welcome to post any comments and discuss this topic). In this post, I will talk about the effects of premature sex.
Well, well! There is the very obvious one (and the one that happens a lot too): That is, teen pregnancy. From then on, the fights start, the anger escalates, the relationship is torn into tatters...
Or does it?
Well, most likely, from reports, such relationships do eventually plunge into the abyss. However, with the right amount and kind of help, the teen couple can actually blossom and their child eventually grows up into a success.
Not many of such things happen though and all the sob stories start sprouting.
Well that's not the point. The point is that no matter what, premature sex will always bring about consequences, good or bad. Mostly bad, according to statistics.
Now, there are different kinds of consequences to every thing that happens. When a teen couple has premature sex, the consequence could be an unwanted pregnancy, which might lead to abortion, which would result in the psychological scarring (trauma) of the female partner. The male might be traumatized too, however, most likely, it will not happen due to the motives he harboured for having premature sex.
I'm implying that the males are pigs who just want sex for the pleasure. Nothing but pleasure. I think males are more reckless in terms of decision-making when it comes to sex, because they really don't need to worry about the pregnancy since the baby's not in their stomach. He can just run away when he's done with it.
Then there's the problem of what happens when the baby is born. Who's responsible for the child? Naturally, it's the responsibility of who had given the egg and sperm to form the foetus which is now a baby. The mother and father. TEENAGE mother and father. Who don't even have jobs of their own, who don't even have their own source of income, who don't even have their own means of surviving. Let alone take care of a baby.
The other consequences that could arise are quite minor to me in terms of psychological damage. However, if you were to talk about damage done to the teen's future...
Things like getting expelled from school, attaining criminal records and such after getting found out that one had premature sex would ruin the teen's future in many ways.
Thus, this concludes my effects section for premature sex.
Remember, do not have sex unless you're really sure you know what you're doing.
Anything could happen.

Premature sex and its causes
Dear people,
Today, I am going to write about the causes of (drumroll), yea, you guessed it! Premature sex.
There are a few reasons as to why teenagers have sex at such an early, illegal age.
There are some who do it under peer pressure, who think it's cool to do such things. Especially in the case of males, as they often view sex as a sort of entertainment, not something you do out of love. Sometimes teenagers do it as they feel unloved; they feel as if their parents, people who are meant to be close to them, do not care about them, thus they think that the people they have sex with are giving them love, when in fact, it might just be out of the yearn for sexual pleasure. Though, I am definitely not ruling out the possibility of teenagers having sex because they love each other.
Normally, teenagers who are closer to their families, get cared for more, do not engage in premature sex. Why? Studies say and show that teens are more likely to have sex IF they are not closely involved with their family, this is due to the feeling of lack of love; the gigantic void in their heart where it's supposed to be filled up with love; family love.
It's sad. I know.
That's why there are so many helplines to call, to look for help. But I doubt that ever single teen with such family problems would call a helpline. I mean, when I imagine myself in the shoes of those troubled teens and think about how I can alleviate the problem, the few solutions that come to my mind have nothing to do with calling helplines.
There are many more causes like the lack of adult supervision, premature maturity (as in, err...premature puberty), family structure, environment, background and much more.
Premature puberty (early adolescence) could bring about thoughts of having sex earlier than one should and that makes up a portion of the teenage pregnancy cases and premature sex cases. Plus, sob stories.
Family structure. Well, it's quite similar to the above, where one is not close to his/her family and feels unloved...and then, all sorts of things start happening, i.e. premature sex.
Environment. I think, of all the factors, this is quite the most major one. If one is living in an area where sexual activity, drug-smuggling, drug consumption, all the vices in society are happening, only a saint or Jesus would not be affected by such vices or happenings. I'm implying that, if you're in a bad dirty environment, you would most probably end up as bad and dirty as the environment is. The environment also includes the schools and people nearby, these elements attribute to the peer pressure factor of teens succumbing to engaging in sexual activity.
Background is also very important! Background is a very significant and prominent factor. Let's imagine: your mom was 15 when she gave birth to you. What do you think such a birth and history might imply? What would you be thinking if you knew your mom had sex at an illegal age and an unwanted pregnancy? Worse is, the result of the unwanted pregnancy is you.
So, here are some of the causes of premature sex, whcih might result in teenage pregnancy.

Controversy: Premature Sex
Premature sex.
What do you normally read about such things? Do you read about the immaturity such teenagers possess? Or do you read the heart-breaking sob stories of the teenage couple? Or do you totally shun such articles?
For me, I think it's interesting to read such articles, finding out and analysing the different reasons of why premature sex and teenage pregnancy are on the rise.
That's why I created this blog; to talk about such issues and analyse the cause and effects, reasons, so on and so forth.
