Every day I see more and more of my class mates more or less futures ending short because they have become pregnant. Some may look upon these people as "fast" and "easy" but what you dont understand is the full story and how they got there and these people are shund from society and labeled whores. But i think maybe its they way they were brought up or maybe they werent educated enough and now they suffer everyday from cat calls and are harrased. Sure there maybe the few who actually were promiscuous and did know the consequences but went out and did it any ways but what about the rest? should they suffer more than they already have?
See in most states mainly southern they teach no sex until marriedge is they way of life and is the standard and youll have a happy life. However they dont teach proper way to use a contraceptive, which is why the failure rate in condoms are so low, but just think if they did. We'll thats where i come in (at least in my community, and hopefully with this even farther.) I have been trying to tell people about sex etc. and sites like this in the hopes that this can teach them what their supposed sex ed. classes dont.
I myself when ever the opportunity for a speech on this is open I lunge at it. I tell them yes Wait until your sure youve found the right one or even if you feel you cant wait that long please use protection and do whats best for you. Even if its only to my friends i do. The down side though is that people think that because i talk of sex this way i myself am a person who engages in the behaviors, but no im still a virgin belive it or not. I want people to understand sex and how great it can be of how devastating it can be, a gamble that some are willing to take and is not up to our parents or our community to force their oppinions on us or label us. ITS NATURAL and every one has to learn from their mistakes. We may be young but we are not stupid and i think its time for change.
So now that you have heard my story hopefully you can go out in your community to your friends,family or what ever you feel is neccesary and tell them and your already in the right direction by being on this site.My dream is that some day people will not be labled at all wether for color, religon, sexual prefrence, or anything and we can all accept each other as equals.
