Teenagers Today?

[Sydian]

* What's your view on Teen pregnancy and how can the LAW make a difference.
It's a sad statistic yes...I agree that teens ought not to get pregnant, but sometimes it just happens. It's not like they plan on having a child. It's as simple as a ripped condom or the inability to get a condom because parents are too clingy to understand that they feel the same urges as they did at that age...because of this they may decide not to take the steps necessary to make the sex safe because they'll most certainly meet lots of opposition should the word ever get out to their parents. Hell, some parents freak out if they find so much as a condom or a porn mag. It's probably twice as hard on the girls to get contraceptives because some jurisdictions like to mandate that you must have parental consent, or notice in order to obtain them. The result? Teen Pregnancy is rampant because of the very rules meant to protect and prevent this. Teenagers will rebel. It's best to just allow it to happen and make it easy and accessible to be safe. Once the thrill of rebelling in this way is removed...maybe some teens will think about it a lot more when educated about it.

With the whole contraceptives/birth control in mind, then yeah, it's crazy hard to get the guts to ask your parents for that. It's awkward, and even when you do blurt it out, your parents still wouldn't want to get it for you. Even though birth control does other things for a girl, parents only associate birth control with it helping to prevent pregnancy, and they jump to the conclusion that their little girl wants to have sex. They're not considering the fact that it's likely going to happen, with or without birth control. It's better parents comply with getting their daughters birth control when asked for, otherwise they can surely count on being early grandparents. Just my two cents on that matter, though. Even still, some girls don't ask cause they just wanna rely on a condom...or those "in the heat of the moment" deals.

Teenagers will always get a bad rep, because there will always be young idiots out there that will spoil it for the youngsters.

• Do you think Teenagers that choose to live different lives should be treated the same?
  Define what you mean my different lives?
  
• What's your view on Teen pregnancy and how can the LAW make a difference.
  I think who ever is a pregnant teenager has 95% of the time made a mistake and they are an idiot for it. The law won't make a difference. It never will.
  
• Should 16 Year olds and under be aloud on the streets after a certain time?
  Well, they can do what they want. It is a combination of bad parenting and rebellious, the kids thinking they are 'hard'. I don't care if they are on the street at God knows what time.
  
• What about the younger teens, (14 and under) and how there treated by something that fellow teens do.
  Well, people are people. You can't stop them from acting how they are.

Teenagers that do drugs and drink and vandalize, compared to the teenagers who want to make something of their lives.

Lack of morality and religion really has affected most teens of today.

Oh yes, clearly not being religious has led me into a hooligan lifestyle *rolleyes*

You brought religion into this, so - I daresay that a freethinking child raised by decent non-religious parents is going to do better than a child raised by religious fanatics, precisely because the latter is more likely to rebel against such a lifestyle.

• Do you think Teenagers that choose to live different lives should be treated the same?What do you mean?If they choose the life of drugs?If so yes they should be treated the same and tried to be helped.
• What's your view on Teen pregnancy and how can the LAW make a difference. Teen pregnancy isn't the greatest thing when your just a kid your self but the law can't do a dam thing about it because there will always be teens having sex.
• Should 16 Year olds and under be aloud on the streets after a certain time?Well im 17 and my grandmother makes me come in at 11pm,I am not in school thou.I think that the younger kids who are in school schould have a early time to be in on week days but on weekends they should be aloud to stay out.
• What about the younger teens, (14 and under) and how there treated by something that fellow teens do.When i was young i tended to follow things that i saw older teens doing because i thought it was cool and i wanted to fit in.So the older teens need to set good examples for the younger ones or there going to end up in trouble sooner or later with the law.
