Why do you think teenagers are becoming sexually active at such a young age today?

It's in the food they eat! Little micro aliens are taking over in our food and the childerns are consuming them and then they get in our brains and rewire everything! THEY MUST BE STOP I TELL YOU!!! These freaky micro thingys are good of what they do and they will not stop for anything!

No seriously. . .
I can give you list of reason why?
1. media.
2. parents/gardians are never home are not supportive
3. socially excepted/other people are doing it
4. Sexually abuse when they were younger, was no big deal.
5. they want to rebel or thier just curious
6. most parents end up on divorce nowadays and children seek the love of their bf/gf and associate sex with love to make up for the love they lack at home ( that goes along with number 2)

The aleins taking over thing was perty close. Media can play a big roll. I must admit, I have to turn down the volume completly when something volger comes on the radio or the T.V.
I think people use "Pubertus" a main excuss.
Wasn't there a thing back a LONG time ago when a young woman started her "curse", she was married off AASAP to an older man. Untill resently, Woman weren't alowed to choose who to marry and who she will be married to. She was her father/older son's property untill she was married. #world countries are still like that.
Luckly, I never had a problem with becomming sexually active even though I had started puberty at a young age. Even now! My mother is always home, My dad works but he is in our lives too. It also goes along with, I always have a thought of getting knocked up and or getting a disease. I have things too look forward too. I am greatfull for that.

All I can say to kids now is stay true to your heart.
You don't always have to take the easy road when it come to sex or getting into troublew with the law or shotting up to stay high. There are fun and edcational things to do out there. Find your passions! Be involve in school activities or volunteer! Don't make ecusses for yourself! Don't ever say " I'm no good" or "I am better of in jail!".
For me, I love volunteering! I looked forwar of going and helping people and I was going something I loved.
