PREMARITAL SEX IN TEENAGERS by  Carol Nyambura 664441.



 



When we compare the teens of the 21st century and of the past we see a very big difference when it comes to sexuality. Technology has really impacted our lives positively but on the same time it has led to sexual immorality which include incest, homosexuality and premarital sex among the teens. Fornication is a vice that has really impacted the lives of the young people aged 13-19 years.  The society has normalised sex before marriage to a point of not seeing the danger we are putting our children into. Teenagers always experience changes which can either be physical, social and emotional. This change may have really played a role in fornication.

One of the changes the teen experience is the social change. Teenagers want to be associated with their fellow hence some engage in fornication because of peer pressure. Parents who don’t teach their children sex education also play a role in premarital sex. This urge of wanting to be part of people has also led to many of them being in social media which is a good thing since they learn much through the social media but to a point social media has not brought out good examples in terms of teaching our children about abstaining till marriage.

As children approach the teen stage they experience various physical changes brought by hormones. This is a stage where the girls start having menstrual flow, their mammary glands enlarge, their hair and skin starts to become smoother. The boys start to have hairy chest and around the private areas and the chest broaden. All these changes bring attraction among the opposite gender. This may bring fornication if self-control of the teens is down.

Fornication can lead to early pregnancy, transmission of sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV/AIDS. It can also lead to school dropouts and forced marriages in case the teenagers get pregnant. HIV/AIDS leds to poverty since the family members and the government must spend money to buy medicines to the victims. It is our duty to protect the teens against the illegal sexual practices through talking to them and as parents to take their responsibilities although we cannot fully prevent the vice of fornication.

Dear life

Dear life There is so much I could say about you, yet I find myself wondering where to begin. You've been a paradox—a blend of harshness and grace. From the moment I was born, you've often felt unfair, denying me the love of my first father and continuing to withhold the love I’ve sought from those I've cared for deeply. I wonder what I've done to deserve this. Yet, despite it all, you’ve also accompanied me faithfully on this journey. God, I come before You, seeking a fresh start—a new journey where I can walk hand in hand with You. I’m grateful for all You've done in my life and in the lives of my family. Your faithfulness has been unwavering, and for that, I will forever praise You. Today, I lift up my prayers to You. I ask for healing and strength for my mother, that her health may flourish. I also pray for a partner, someone chosen by You, who will walk with me in love and faith. As I begin a new semester, I ask for Your guidance, wisdom, and favor to lead me o...
