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.
