The Children

23 May 2012 Reasons for Teen Abstinence from Sex Mothers, Fathers and senior family members need to be talking to their teens more often concerning sex. Human past show teens grow by learning from one another and watching their adults. Parents have not been taking full responsibility for their actions. From the past to present, we have been skating by as though nothing was amiss. Now we are in the 21st-century, teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases run unchecked. The communicable disease among teens is at an all-time high. The youth of this society, along with absentee parents, have laid way for out of control infestation of infectious diseases. Due to lack of teaching and restraint of sexual activity, teen pregnancy is also at an all-time high. This shows the absence of spiritual conviction in our society. Abstinence from sex is difficult for all ages; however it is a behavior that should be enforced among teens. For the lack of moral teachings concerning sex, safe sex and abstinence of sex has left humanity with unwelcome horror in its pending future. Due to the unchecked abstinence of sex among teens, the unthinkable is happening. Our children are having children who are not only born on drugs or deformed, but born with a communicable disease. Teens are passing diseases around as if they were “the thing to do”. Unplanned parenthood is a sad thing for all teens; however having a sexually transmitted disease and bearing a child with it is the saddest of results for the lack of sexual abstinence being taught in parenting.
