...Sex And Protection...

Re: ...Sex And Protection...

Faisal, you can't take one case of crazy teens and try to pin the whole issue on it; there are suicide pacts and cults that do all sorts of things but we don't use those examples as the norm; rather they are the exception. You could even compare this logic with the notion that Muslims want to "kill infidels" because most terrorist attacks are perpetrated by Muslims; of course we all know that those fanatics are not the norm. Therefore, we can go ahead and put that notion aside that for some reason the majority of teenage girls who become pregnant do so out of their own volition.

I'm surprised that people are somewhat over-analyzing the situation. Let's just call it like it is: a lot of teenagers and young adults do not have self-control of their desires or emotions and therefore land themselves into situations of intimacy. In that atmosphere, a human's emotions tend to supersede rational thought (especially because it took a lack of proper thinking to get into this situation in the first place). Obviously the majority of teenagers wouldn't want the burden of a pregnancy or an STD, but their carelessness (and in my opinion, moral decadence) steers them into that eventuality.

Personally, I find the teaching of "safe sex" instead of abstinence to be akin to increasing the supply of life vests on beaches.. instead of telling people not to jump in the water if they can't swim. :)
