  • They'd want them to themselves

  • They don’t have the maturity to handle the fact they were used

  • they are too young to have a serious relationship. Pregnancy could ruin education

  • Coz protect them rape and abuse and also preserve to pregnant.

  • It's primarily that most teenagers aren't ready to handle the consequences of a pregnancy.

  • So if you are old enough to get laid are you mature enough to pay your own bills? Live on your own and scrub your own toilet once a week?

    • I actually am

  • Because teens are stupid and for most of history protection wasn't a thing, so instincts got developed.

  • Clearly your parents are not gonna like the idea of it. No parent does at least unless you were married.

  • They must to be carefull

  • I don't know

  • Cause they worry cause what could happen, pregnancy, stds. Some are just to be controlling. And overly religious people. I believe education is important. The fact it’s made taboo made me wanna more.

  • Lack of trust, either in the kids or the quality of their sex ed. Conservative jurisdictions where sex ed is minimal to non-existent are dangerous.

  • When ur an old woman ull probs b wise enough to understand, until then you should trust them

  • Aside from any kind of crime or debilitating injury, name the fastest, most fool-proof method of completely wrecking your prospects for a good future.

    • Not be willing to work at all, dropping out of high school since most jobs require a high school education

    • I mean if you're a straight A student, already have acceptance letters from college, and you're looking at a bright future. What's the fastest way to throw all that away?

    • Easily just not giving a fuck about anymore, I know you want me to say pregnancy and all that but I know that😑 but there’s more than one way to fuck up one’s future

  • Just talking about STDs and teen pregnancy is very easy. Your parents are the ones who has to suffer for you when you get infected with AIDS or a new baby

    • But when you’re 18 aids isn’t their issue and most people (that I know at least) aren’t crazy enough to want a kid that young

    • Doesn't matter if you're 18 or even 30, would you be alright if your kid got STDs? Most teen pregnancies are accidental as in they don't understand the importance of protection I don't get it anyways. If you wanna have sex, you can go do it. No reason to tell your parents. I doubt they wanna know the details

    • See my thing is it’s going to happen regardless unless of a religious reason, wanting to practice abstinence or some form of trauma. My mom and me had a whole conversation and even got me birth control pills just in case, told me and educated me on safe sex and all that yet is surprised that I even masturbate. I’m not even having sex yet and it’s just so shocking 😑
