Most Teens Say No to Pre-Marital Sex
Home, 9 May 2006 (Pg H4)Statistics say that "95% of under-16s opt for abstinence, with moral considerations being the largest factor". As a follow up to the first blog post, I think this is rather heartening news . After all teenagers are the best group of people to reduce the occurance of pre-marital sex. This, in a way, could show the success rate of sex education in schools. Imagine the benefits to our community this news entails: hopefully reduced cases of STDs and underage pregnancies. Of course this isn't going to happen overnight, but the numbers do show the potential for this to happen. Add the fact that teens do indeed consider morals in the process, and I feel proud to say that Singaporean teens can be credited for more than our academic achievements.
The article also mentions how those teens who engage in pre-marital sex are often those who are misinformed. This is a minority, however. And one way of solving this problem is simply to pay attention during sex education. Perhaps the misinformed might like to take that into consideration. Sex isn't an initiation ceremony, it's procreation. I quote from the article when one girl said, rather naively, that "After me and my boyfriend are finishedm I just need to go to the toilet, urinate and force everything out lah." Looks like she needs a lesson in biology. It's just really funny how silly some people can be...

Joshua Harris, a renowned Christian author once said that intimacy is the product of commitment and not the other way round.
I believe that is so true. The "passion" and "love" between two teenagers with raging hormones are only temporary and probably fuelled by lust. Often many teens experience pre-marital sex with a very bad after-taste.
