Do teens value falling in love any more or is it all about physical sex.?

Kids are so cold and clinical about having sex these days. Do kids still fall for each other and want to be emotionally close and share intimacy even without intercourse. There seems to be no feeling about sex in younger people. It sounds like an after school activity that you just do and no one really cares as long as someone gets a climax. Weird..

    Teens unfortunately are being so heavily influenced by tv, and celebrities that its ridiculous. I feel for this generation of teens. Its cool to drink, have sex, and thats about it....If you are a strong minded person, you dont let what others do interfere with how you want to live your life...

    They [kids/teens] are not emotionally or physically prepared for sexual/intimate relations.

    Because the world is so over-saturated with sex and promiscuity, it is corrupting kids minds, causing them to become interested in sexual behavior waaayyy too young and then because kids are naturally careless, they act on what they see (monkey see, monkey do) because of the [lack of] parenting and encouragement (a.k.a. pressure, misguidance) they get from media/internet, friends and school (saying practice safe sex while handing out contraceptives when they should be teaching abstinence and self confidence - non-religiously of course).

    When they are this age, they are not doing it for love, they don't know what love is. They are doing it because they are desperate to fit in and be cool. There is no such thing as "cool". And it is unfortunate but true, girls think that the only way they can stay in love is if they give up their innocence and purity, and guys take advantage of that.

    No longer does anyone have any moral, respect or value, not even for their own body. Sex and virginity no longer means anything nor is it a "special" moment that two people share - it's now a fad that everyone has to do to fit in.

    I am really sick of people like you claiming that all young people are going out and having sex with everything that moves. Just because that is the norm in some countries doesn't mean we ALL are like that. And besides, there doesn't have to be meaning behind sex for someone to enjoy it. It really is none of your business whether someone is having sex out of love or out of recreation because believe it or not sex has three functions; 1. reproduction 2. recreation and 3. to express love. People have sex for all of the above reasons and there's nothing wrong with that.

    Well i think this generation is just more sexual. There are girls at my school who have sex with everyone. And have no problem admitting it. And a lot of them also seem to think that "love" is just a distraction.

    But i mean we still fall in love. I'm in love with my girlfriend. I know she is in love with me. And i do see a lot of good couples around my school. I just think now a days people don't try so hard to fall in love. Or be with only one person. Because a lot of kids at my school at least see relationships as a waste of time.

    First of all, I commend you for the entire duties you might have been dealt at this type of younger age and the way you're dealing with them. You and your sister have long past via an overly problematic time. Constantly remind her that you just love her and be accepting of her. The two individuals who accredited her and cherished her probably the most are actually long past so she demands that. You are rather going to develop from this hindrance for the reason that despite the fact that you will be hurting too, you're being positioned within the role of being the supplier, being the robust one and of direction the mum or dad. She goes to have intercourse if she wishes to regardless of what number of constraints you placed on her and that can intent her to be much more sneaky. (speakme from enjoy right here). I feel it is first-class for you and your female friend to be concerned. She demands any individual to open up to who cares approximately her and who can set a well instance. Try deliberate parenthood for delivery manipulate. They will give an explanation for the hazards of unprotected intercourse to her too. You are doing all you'll do. Be open together with her- judging her and coming down on her will most effective flip her away despite the fact that. 14 is a difficult age. Try to look her aspect after which state yours. If she sees you're listening and looking to see her factor of view and motives for what she is doing and respecting her, she is much more likely to listen to you out and appreciate your perspectives as good. At 14, despite the fact that I suppose you're one hundred% proper, being closed minded shall be a flip off to her. ACT such as you comprehend her view in case you have got to. It's honestly a rather first-class factor that she even spoke out approximately having intercourse. Most at that age hold it a mystery.

    I value falling in love. My girlfriend and i are both 16 and we have been dating for three years. We haven't had sex yet because we think we are too young. We are still kids ourselves and don't want to risk having a child just because "sex is cool". I love and respect my girlfriend way too much to just use her as an object for sex. I don't think we need to have sex to prove we are in love.

    That depends on the teen you talk to, we aren't all the same. I know I value being in love and its definitely not about sex to me.

    I always valued it. I didn't even have sex until I was married. It's more special then. There are far better things to worry about in life than sex...
