I don't think I agree with you here.  What does wearing a condom have to do with having premarital sex.  Has alot to do with not getting pregnant but nothing to do with not having premarital sex.  I believe Christian adults are doing a very poor job with our children in teaching them the holiness of sex within marriage -- of teaching them how to be set apart from this world -- of teaching them very early in life about sex and how it is intended to be a blessing to two people within the marriage covenant.  \n\nThe selling of sex in our culture around us permeates the thoughts and minds of our Christian young people because we have not taught them how to separate themselves from this world.  We let them view sexually stimulating movies and then are surprised when they act out the immoral sexual activity they have viewed on the movie screen.\n\nChristians are called to no longer conform to this world.  I see much more conforming of young Christians to the world than I see the world being transformed by young Christians.  And sadly that is because many adult Christians interact with the world in the same way.

Sexual urges are VERY strong in teenagers, they don't have the willpower or desire to wait.\nI was 16 and in love- we were together for 3 years, I don't regret it, but I think its sad when girls give it up the first chance they get and the guy ends up hurting them.

Yes,one of the main reasons there is such a problem with teen pregnancy is inconvinience of lack of funds, to get protection.There is also a problem with transportation ex:wanting to go to a place that offers contreceptives, but no bieng able to get there.I dont think having them at a highschool would encourage teens to have sex.Do people really believe the teens are giong to want to have sex more just because there is protection readily available.I mean just because you are young, doesn't mean you don't have a mind of your own.You are a human bieng just like anyone else.

Virginity IS important and its something that has to be thought about before given away. It might not be that important to the girl who's losing it but, think about the people around her and society.\nDespite the rise in teen sex, its still not OK in society for a teenager to be sexual and to have sex. With guys its a little different because guys see it as a status thing. With girls, you either come off looking like a slut or you're seen as easy or "used". \nWhen giving it up, its got to be something you want to do and its got to be something you've thought about. If you're unsure, dont do it. Its not something you can get back.

Because of all the peer pressure out there nowadays. Even the most head strong kids can give into this. More and more teens are having sex at younger ages, and most parents figure that if they are strict when it comes to dating, then this is less likely to happen to their child. But this can totally backfire, because some teens can become rebellous and go out and have sex just to make thier parents mad.

i believe that's what society forces into the minds of people. Sex is everywhere and highly marketed so automatically because of the way our society market it our youth and young adults feel they have to do it.

Lol, who knows? I come from the UK and sex ed is compulsary here but still we seem to have the highest teen pregnancy's in the whole of Western Europe. Sex ed's important though, because it teaches about protection against pregnancy and STD's....I find it quite important that high school kids must know it.

An interesting human trait is to pursue things that are secret or forbidden.  Since US parents tend to keep sexuality hidden from their children and tell them it is wrong/forbidden, it actually results in teens pursuing sex as a way to rebel or develop a self of self different from their parents.  If US society didn't make sex so evil because of religion, teens would not be so interested in it.  It wouldn't be such a big deal.

No I do not believe in sex before marriage. I got married when I was 24 (a little more than a year ago) and that's when I lost my virginity, and I am damn proud of it.. no regrets, extremely happy about :o) People should try it out, it's not like they're NEVER going to have sex... besides, it's more special.

do you mean virgin?? \n\nif yes, then the number is becoming increasingly smaller each day as the media makes sex seem more and more acceptable before marriage and with numerous random partners

Why do kids have sex? I think it's because they have too much time on their hands. I think they should stay in school, and maybe lay off the X-box. Learning to spell would be another improvement, but that's just me.

THERE SHOULD BE SOME SEX EDUCATION AT ALL LEVELS OF SCHOOL\n\nkids are having sex way before high school and don't understand the risks\nkids need to be educated about their bodies and their parents are not doing a good job (many don't even know all the facts themselves)

People might still have careless sex but the awareness of these diseases seems to have tripled. Along with all the funding it takes to run commercials and visit schools in the name of educating people about STD's. I think teens might always be a little careless but as an adult it seems to me that the people in my age group would all rather keep one partner as opposed to having many sexual partners. Like back in the 80's nobody used condoms. As a matter of fact if you could find some numbers on condom sales you might be able to draw on those numbers to back your point up. I also think some people would just as soon pick up a toy or a magazine as opposed to sleeping with someone and catching something. Perhaps that also contributes to the rise in the porn industry.

if you are married and starting a family in your teens you re probably not in America. Here it is generally assumed that people want to goto college and stuff befor they form that kind of commitment.\n That being said I have found that early teens that get married tend to be married the longest. But her is the caveat. these people are not happily married and worse resent the time they have spent together. \n There are a few exceptions but mostly that is what I hve seen :)

I think it's a little of both. People are more comfortable with their own sexuality because it is more acceptable than it was, but I also think the advertisement of sex is due to the fact that people want to see it. I do think kids are more permiscuous, particularly teenagers. I never saw the glory in that, and didn't lose my virginity until I was almost 19 (I'm still with the same guy, and haven't had sex with anyone else, he only had sex with one girl before me, and was about the same age when he lost his virginity). However, I've seen my friends have sex and one night stands more often than they change their underwear. Kids now don't take sex very seriously, and as a result, they have a lot of sex and no love. And I think that's advertised just as much. Loveless sex.

its very simple now in days you see sex all over the place on TV, music, just talking to friends its everywhere and people are saying "its ok as long as you are ready for it" so young people gets this ideal ok when im ready i can have sex. then the question comes when am i ready? and when they ask this question they get their answer form the tv and the music and their friends and they answer it by say “when you are in love”. so they get this funny feeling inside and they think its love so now they are  in love and they are ready. BUT THAT’S NOT IT your ready when your ready to commit the rest of you life to that person and that person feel the same and then you two make that commit by getting marry and once that happens you are truly ready. So yeah young peopel have premarital sex b/c they are being lie to
