I've heard so many stories from people in my social circle that have had encounters and not used condoms. PEOPLE THINK!! ============ Quoting from jsom85: with the abundance of condoms out today, it is common sense to just wrap it up. =============

I feel like kids think they are invincible these days. I guess I did too when I was young but when I was in high school you hardly EVER heard of std's or AIDS. Hardly anyone I knew fooled around and if you did you kept it a BIG secret. I waited until I was 19 years old and I thought that was to soon. Now kids 10, 11 on up are having sex. It is sad that they feel like they have to do this just to fit in. Peer pressure is such a big thing these days. What will it be like in 10 more years?

I think its so much better to just hold off for someone truly special or marriage (i have a high respect for those who wait till marriage) and that you trust. and have "safe" sex with them. it feels better emotionally too...look at me, i'm acting like i'm "mr. experianced 2k4"

smak67 Posts: 84 Joined: 2004/02/03	2004/02/16, 11:14 PM I agree with halfpint, my daughter is 16 and she thinks she is invincible. Of course at that age I thought I was too. She does not comprehend or pretends not to, how serious these kinds of situations are. It is scary to think how it will be in the future... -------------- Sean... strive for excellence
goodoldtex Posts: 564 Joined: 2004/01/25	2004/02/17, 12:11 AM Im 19. When my parents talked to me when i was young i listened. I must tell you how great it is to see parents like y'all that care. When i approached 16 i still thought i would never have sex before marraige. That changed at the age of 17. It only takes an instant. Keep trying to have the conversations with them. Youll eventually reach them one way or another. I always understood the seriousness of the whole situation since i was very young...i must applaud you parents. I have no idea how hard it will be for me when i am an adult.
CristalBelle Posts: 1,389 Joined: 2003/06/27	2004/02/17, 10:51 AM I had made a vow to wait until marriage to have sex. well, when I met my husband, that didn't last. I was 19, and we had sex twice before I got pregnant. We then placed our daughter into an open adoption, and got married 2 years later. We have only been with each other, and I know how rare that is, but even when you are sure that the person you are with is the one, you can have "upsets" like we did by simply not being as safe as you could be.

You don't know who has what and they will tell you they are safe, well, how do I know. They could have been with 50 different people and lie about it. I cannot get pregnant because I had my tubes tied. That would be the least of my worries these days. I shall stick with taking care of my ummm, how shall I say this, desires myself.

Its whether or not we protect ourselves from infection that matters. Be careful all. -------------- May the lift be with you.
