Just one question for all the people who lost their virginity at 15-16, are you aware that American society as a whole frowns upon your behavior and considers your lifestyle an "alternative" one? I strongly disagree with that view, but I'm in the minority.
Every day when browsing news sites, it seems, I run across articles or op-eds or columnists who express shock at the possibility of teens having sex, and even some syndicated psychologists dishing out advice consider this behavior "marginal" or unusual. Just like most parents who consider it unlikely and weird.
Yet, it seems, most people lose their virginity at 16? Where's this disconnect coming from? Looks like there's some major gap in acknowledging reality, or actually it is true that few teens are sexually active at 14-15, and therefore it is indeed an "alternative" lifestyle? |
i don't think it's all that abnormal. teens are full of raging hormones. not to mention they are very rebellious and experimental, not just with sex, but with everything... from drugs and alcohol, to the way they dress, to lifestyle choices such as music, sports, and groups of friends. it's the time of your life when you're trying to figure out who "you" are.
when it comes down to it, most kids at that age (15-16) are experimenting with their first relationships, falling in "love" for the first time, and regardless of what the media or their parents tell them to do, they're going to do whatever they want. if anything, i think it's most important that they are well-educated on sex (safe sex, STDs, pregnancy, etc) so that they are smart enough to make the right decisions.
regardless of what society thinks, i may have been young when i lost my virginity... but i was in love, i waited a while for it to happen, and the relationship lasted for a very long time. i have no regrets whatsoever, and i feel that i took every step in protecting myself and making sure i made the right decisions. i don't consider that to be "alternative" or "bad" behavior.
