»Teenage Pregnancy«

As a Christian, I believe there is nothing wrong with teenagers having sex. There is something wrong with society snubbing their nose up at these teens. The world says, "don't have sex until you get married even if your body is ready for it, and you can't get married until you're 22." From a christian stand point, Paul said if you can't resist having sex you should get married. This statement in at of itself implies, for some people, it is impossible to resist having sex. Where did christians get the idea that people are supposed to wait until they are 22 to get married, and then they can have sex. The bible doesn't say that. I believe as a society we set our expectations too high for those teenagers who have a high sex drive. It is natural and human to want sex and to ask some people to resist this is unnatural. Sure their are some people who might have a low sex drive who can skip out on sex for their entire lives. Those people should be priest. However, not everyone is built the same. Therefore, as a society we should be more supportive of teenagers who have sex. As Christians, I believe it is our duty to become more accepting of students who want to get married or at least encourage students who want to have sex to get married. After all that is what the bible says.

As a christian you should follow what the bible says. The bible cleary states that sex is between 2 married people. Not between 2 horny teenagers. Im not here to discuss whether or not getting married at 22 is what is expected. I can tell you that the average age of marriage these days is 30. I am a strong christian and most of my friends who are getting married, don't at 22. They do later or earlier. Yes Paul says, if you cant control yourself get married. But that doesnt give you a right to just have sex outside of marriage. As a christian myself, the post you made upset me. If people who are not christians want to have sex before they are married, thay is there decision. I would hope there parents would explaint birth control and condoms to them. So they are not stupid enough to get pregnant. As for a christian though, they are held to a higher standard. you sound like an idiot when you say stuff like, "Im a christian but im ok with sex before marriage" Because in that statement you told the world you are not a christian. Speaking of the world, the world doesnt say no sex before marriage. Look around you, the world screams have sex all the time with as many people as you can before you die.

You make me sad.

Ok those are both great ways to look at that!But i'm not sure how old either of you are but i'm 19 and all my friends have babies!Ok let's be honest it would be very hard to go without, And the "right" thing to do is to not have sex at all!

But I do not think these girls that don't have jobs and no idea of what they want in their future should be having sex to get pregnant, to try and make the daddy stay around!I hate that so much about girl's, women, females whatever you want to call us.IF you don't have an education, no money, and no future what do you think those children get to face when they get older escpecially with there lives already set up like that?And also all these women that are whoring around are making all women look slutty,nasty and desperate.So if you'r gonna have sex that's you'r business just try and be responsible, and have some class!please stop bringing these innocent babies into a horriable life just because you don't want to wear a rubber!

I mostly agree with what you said. I know someone personally who got pregnant on purpose to keep her man around. Retarded.
