I know everyone has heard that once you lose it you can’t get it back. Well, it’s true! Once you lose your virginity it’s gone. Whether you’re a male or a female your virginity is something sacred that you should keep until you are older, wiser. And more mature. I know that most people think they’re mature at a young age but wait, there is no rush, take your time, be a kid while you still can.
Underage sex most likely and most of the time lead to teenage pregnancy. Teenage pregnancy is serious. Think about it how can a baby take care of a baby. Having a baby cuts the joy of being young short. Pregnant teenagers often have to drop out of school, so they don’t receive their full education necessary to get a job. Also, the young teenage mother must find a job to be to take care of her child. Most of the time the father either denies the child or is just to scared to step up and take that responsibility. No teenager, male or female, should have to worry about having to take care of a baby; all they should have to worry about is doing well in school and just having fun.
Underage sex mostly caused by peer pressure. Sexually active teens pressure their peers to become sexually active. They name a lot of lame reasons to why teens should be sexually active and most people listen. Most people want to fit in so they’ll do whatever they can to be popular. Teens need to realize that sex can wait. When people are sexually active and people know about it, they gain bad reputations such as a player for males and whore for females. Males seem to get congratulated for being sexually active and females get looked down for it. When females are sexually active at a young age, males think they’re easy so they keep trying to have sex with them. Some females are taken advantages of because people know they are sexually active and males get mad they can’t get from her what someone else got. So in conclusion, underage sex is not something you should rush into. It’s better if you wait.
