TEENAGERS AND SEX

Nowadays adolescents are very advanced for their age, in their attitude towards sex. Maybe because now we have freedom to talk about all things related to sex. Maybe because they have to adapt to society, they have to be cool. I say this because it seems that you are obligated to have relationships early, to be cool and not different. So society has an important influence over teenagers.
 Before, if you wanted to make love with somebody, you needed to marry him and stay with him forever because divorce wasn't approved yet. Now young people can live together, marriage is not so important and divorce is happening all the time. These days we are more liberal, we are "modern" people, but are we acting right?
I think that sometimes we have to be open-minded, for example in the case of abortion. A few months ago, the government approved the abortion law in Spain. This allows girls over sixteen to have an abortion, but if you are underage, you have to go accompanied with an adult.
In my opinion this a good law because now people have sexual relations too young and if the girl accidentally get pregnant, she will be able to chose to have the baby, or not. But what I find illogical is that you can go to pharmacies to get the morning-after pill at sixteen year or less! Where is the way to discourage them from having sex too early, if there are no bad consequences after?
 I think that if you have been irresponsible, you have to pay the consequences and your parents have to know it. Parents are the ones who will help us and advise us because they have all lived it, they have the experience and they always want our well-being.
However, there were demonstrations calling for the abolishment of this law because from some peoples´ point of view, abortion is the same as killing a person. Others think that, until some months it is not a baby, it's a foetus; it means that it isn’t living, it can't breathe, it can't love,… But from very early the foetus has a heart beat. Where we can lay down marker for consider live or not live?

  1. It's a critic line, Julia!
    How right it is...
    Politicians move by the flock of the other countries in Europe, what they say, we do... Or just they don't think about the consequences...
    And I'm totally agree with the idea that if a girl had sex under 16 and she gets pregnant, she has to accept it and know all the consequences! It's life!...
