kids who are having/knowing about sex too young    Back to the homepage
Views: 15579 Report
o.k. I've been hearing awful things from parents I know about how kids now are sexually active in seventh and eighth grade. I don't think I kissed someone until high school! We didn't dare touch boys for fear of being labeled easy or slutty. Now, from what I'm hearing, girls are competing with each other to have sex with as many boys as they can. These kids are 12 years old! We need them to be kids. How is this happening? Is it because both parents work? peer pressure? easy access to too much media on the topic? Glorification of teenage sex in movies, TV, videos? This is scary. I think more parents need to talk to their kids about sex and tell them its not o.k. to be engaging in risky behavior like this.

honest_Injun (12/16): Problem is lazy, idiot parents who give no guidance to their kids, don't care what the kids do and when. TV also contributes a lot as sex is portrayed in every show. Listen if you give birth to them, its your responsiblity to train them.... Nowadays society is made up of retard parents so their kids are equally animalistic and retarded when it comes to sex. So learn to live with it...its only gonna get worse... (report)

Nora (5/27): Look I'm twelve and right now it would be way too weird to have sex. I'm mean even if we did it wouldn't be with someone we really loved. But I guess I have it easy I go to a high school at age twelve with 40 other twelve year old nerds. We woul never even think about having sex (some don't even really know what it is) So moral of the story Wait Please your not ready. (report)

dignitymyxdear (6/21): i dont really know many 12 year olds having sex or 12 year olds in the 8th grade, but at my school theres maybe like 20 eighth graders who arent virgins but i mean it's their choice to live their life like that, and kids arent going to tell their parents and i believe they probably do it just cause they can and their parents tell them not to. things arent like they were in the old days when parents were involved in their kids lives and more like a family, these days parents are always working, kids are alone, or going out all the time and sure i totally agree that kids should hang out with their friends as much as they want, but at the same time some parents just give their kids too much freedom because they dont have time for their kids. i mean if its with the person you love, and you know you wont regret it 10 years from now, then sure go for it, but not that young. middle school kids arent experienced, they dont understand love, and they dont really try to. but if youre old enough and mature enough to handle the responsibility its okay, its up to you to define when you are. theres no real "age group" to kids having sex, everyones different, everyone grows up differently (report)
slutt (11/3): okay well im 13 and ive had sex before and been eaten out and sucked guys dicks and a whole bunch of other shit. and guess what, i think the condom broke when we did it so i think im pregnant now. but sex is good and let us do what we want. if we screw up our life...then we will learn. but im happy right now. so fuck yall sex is great. (report)
boo (11/14): nahh not too young. come on, its only a particular part of your body! if u cant have sex, well u shudnt be able to even hold hands, coz thats also ur body! i had sex a few months ago for the first time (im 14) but i cant reli remember much coz i was extremely Drunk. (report)
softbllbabe94 (12/2): Look, even if you do tell your kids to not have it, they'll still go against your wishes and do it. It's sex. It's natural, and it feels good. (report)

Rheyanneinwonderland (6/17): I'm fifteen, and I've had 5 sex partners. I started having sex because I was in a yearlong relationship. After that, it's like the first time you smoke. You have to do it again and again. I think that it's not for everyone, but If you can handle it, go for it (report)

poprock303 (4/5): the thing about parents is that they dont want kids to have sex and then they go ahead and do them shelves this isnt the pure nature god intended the world to do. (report)
Anonymous (9/2): Some of these people are talking about kids 14 or 15 and older having sex. That's a joke. Kids start younger than that. I started having sex when I was 10 and there were a lot of us around that age that were doing it. I had sex with a 13 year old girl that lived on my block. Sex just feels too good to pass it up. In my case why would anyone expect a boy to pass up having sex when a girl is standing naked in front of me? Why would anyone expect me to pass up the chance to touch and kiss and suck a girls breasts when that's what I've been wanting for years? When she got on top and we had sex, I knew I would not stop just because someone said that we were 'too young' to have sex. That's a bunch of crap. The law says that 18 year olds and older are allowed to enjoy the pleasure that having sex brings. Well I like it too. I can't help liking it. Why should I be punished for something I can't help?

jerry_sizzzler (9/1): Part of the problem -- only part -- is that many parents (for whatever reason) don't want to talk about sex with their kids, yet they expect the schools and the media to do it for them. (report)
stephensoncarle (9/2): Parents don't get involved with their kid's lives. Kids seek out others for acceptance. Some turn to others with drugs, sex, or violence. Others turn toward sports, hobbies, or volunteering. Parents are the driving force behind which path these kids will follow. Communication is always the key. (report)
Jimbo (9/5): I don't think anyone could disagree and say that it's great if kids that young engage in those behaviors. However there is one factor that no one is willing to admit, and that is that kids that age are sexual beings. I know I was. They need honest guidance, not denial and hypocrisy, which is what American sexuality is really based on. That denial leads directly to it's opposite, which is the glorification of sexuality. Kids are far sharper than we give them credit for. They see our denial and hypocrisy and throw it right back in our faces. The first step is for everyone to take religion out of the self images we have of our physical bodies. We are primates, plain and simple. Sexual puberty happens about age 12 or 13 in this species and our offspring show an interest in sexuality way before that. So accept those simple facts from science and then start dealing with guiding our young ones with an honest and caring directness, rather than from a hypothetical vision of "purity" and mores taken from religious nonsense. Just because we were manipulated with shame and guilt into delaying our sexual experimentation (like labeling people "easy, slutty, or sinful") doesn't mean that is the best way to get our kids to be patient and take a lot of time before they begin experiencing those pleasures. (report)
lurch1949 (9/16): Jimbo, I just retired after 32 years of teaching in middle school--I think you're right. But I also think what children see in the media is a huge factor, too. If they see it on TV, in the movies, or on the radio (remember Love Line?), they want it. They don't always pay attention to the intent behind the presentation. They hear another 12-year-old call a radio program and talk about how good sex feels (I've heard it), no matter what the host says, they're going to want to try it. They see 11-year-old girls modeling low-riders in TV commercials and acting like 25-year olds in a singles bar, and guess what? They want to be just like the kids on TV. I wish I had an answer--until the media figures out a way to police itself, the First Amendment guarantees that they can broadcast what they damn well please, no matter who gets hurt. (report)
kayla46561 (12/8): media has more to do with what kids do today. and you cant make your kids do something or stop doing something when your not going to be there when it happens. the most you can do is tell them the risks and also at the same time tell thema bout safe sex. if your kids going to be having sex at least let them be educated on being safe. (report)
Anonymous (1/30): Kids should be allowed to have sex with each other (report)
Anonymous (3/3): fuck you (report)
Anonymous (3/15): kids are sexually active. it's not really the media. i think if the parent talks to the child about it. it would help. kids are experimenting with there bodys at the age of 12 and 13 because they can have sex and they want to feel how it is. i'm 15 and a virgin and i want to stay a virgin till after i get married. i have a boyfriend and we talked about sex. we told each other what we felt about it. i think you should ask your children what they think about it, and you should tell them what you yourself think about it, and what you did when you were there age. it's not the media, it's not because both parents work, not media access, just curiosity. (report)
danny (7/9): I am 12 and even though I don't know what I would do if I got the chance I WAN to remain a virgin until at least age 20. Alot of sex and sex for young peopel proves there extreemly immature and need to get a life. (report)

Anonymous (1/6): Actually for all these morons that blame the parents and the irresponsible people who think that they should have sex, should actually think about what there doing as to what the outcome of having sex would do... It's not just pleasure its a life you are probably about to kill or watch die slowly because either the teen nor the mother care about what the teen does. At age 12 they should have a sense of awareness of sex and the outcomes and not be clueless so that people blame the parents. Kids have a mind of there own and im sure they know what is right from wrong. So most of these responses you people have put should consider not having child and if thinking about it take up some parenting lessons. (report)
LOLOLOL (1/8): Im 12 but i dont think sex is at all wat is may seem. I masturbate tho=P (report)
Anonymous (8/9): im 14 and ive been asked to have sex but i said"if you want to have sex something, f urself, cause u arnt getting into my body!" and left so kid just really need to think about what they r doing. and i believe parents r doing the best they can there if good parents, but the last thing a 12 or 13 year old kid is their parents hanging over their heads. just leave them alone and they'll do what is right just talk to them about it once in a while and they'll get it in their haed. at least i did. (report)

sweetie1025 (3/24): I am 14 and know lots of teens who are having sex [I also work in the childrens ministry at my church and have found a considerable amount of elementary and middle school kids who are having/talking about sex. I believe sex should wait until marriage, but at the very least the couple should be at least 16 and have been dating for at least 1.5 years. (report)
