The story behind my topic.

Nationally, more than half of teenagers are virgins until they are at least 17 years of age (Sex and America's Teenagers, The Alan Guttmacher Institute, New York, 1994). In the U.S., 7 in 10 women who had sex before age 14, and 6 in 10 of those who had sex before age 15 report having had sex involuntarily. (Facts in Brief: Teen Sex and Pregnancy, The Alan Guttmacher Institute, New York, 1996). A teenager getting pregnant has become a very common in society now. Babies having babies.  As years go by the age of becoming a mother gets younger and younger.  What is the cause of this? Is it the lack of being educated on sexual actives? Irresponsible teenagers? Or is it the lack or parenting? People always say “I never knew my daughter was having sex.” Get real! Parents are not looking for the signs. I myself am a teenager, but not a pregnant teenager. I am well aware of all the things involving sex. My mother took time to time me when I was in fifth grade. I think one of the main problems is the lack of parenting. There are so many diseases out in the world that you could get from being sexually active that everyone should be aware of. If parent take time and inform their teens on sex instead of being like abstinence is the way. Not many teenagers do this. So many factors go into them us having sex; peer pressure, temptation, and etc.
