The discussion I had with my dad went well, considering how close my dad and I are it wasn’t hard talking about any of these subjects. We didn’t really talk about one specific thing, but we coverd pretty much everything, and talked about it all. He seemed to focus mostly on when you have sex with someone, and you are not married to or together in a serious relation ship it can be hard. Especially at a young age he said it can ruin reputations, and not only that can ruin what you have with someone or even how they think about you. He said that everyone is different, and everyones body is different, you cant judge someone based souly on their actions. He said safe sex is very important. He said that if you mess up not only will it change your life but it will make it so hard on you, not just as a normal person, he said you will have to drop out of school, it will be hard to get a job, youll need to support your child and you wont have the money for it. Basically if you mess up with sex at a young age, you really messed up. He said number one. There is no reason to have sex at such a young age. Two- if you are going to not using protection is just stupid. He said that not matter what you do there is always that chance no matter what, and the risk is not worth the reward, ever. We discussed STD’s and he said it short and simple he said, if your not having sex you don’t have to worry about aids, and some of the other nasty STD’s you can get from sex. He said it may be uncomfortable but just simply ask whoever you are going to be doing stuff with, if they have any, he said it can be awkward so when you say it maybe say it in a joking manner and laugh at it, but its better to be safe then sorry. We talked about body image because my sister was in the room and she was saying body image is a huge thing for girls. We discussed that you can litteraly ruin a persons life by bullying someone about their image. You cant take back words and if you say something now, you may regret it later. The
unprotected sexual intercourse contaminated transfusions, hypodermic, and from mother to child during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding. Some bodily fluids, such as saliva and tears, do not transmit HIV. Prevention of HIV infection, primarily through safe sex and needle-exchange programs, is a key strategy to control the spread of the disease. There is no cure or vaccine; however, antiretroviral treatment can slow the course of the disease and may lead to a near-normal life expectancy. While antiretroviral…
20 July 2014 The Promotion of Safe Sex is Beneficial “About half of teens 15-19yo in the U.S. have had sex at least once” (TeenHealthFX). Underage sex is seen by society as indecent and immoral, but it is extremely common among teens. Innocence is withering away at younger ages as time goes on. Sex among teens has become more prevalent because of the glamorous ways the media portrays sex and the accepting of social views on the topic. “Most young people have had sex for the first time by the age…
personal failure. Another thing that teenagers have to realize is, if they choose to engage in sexual intercourse the best alternative would be to practice safe sex. Having unprotected sex can lead to harmful and life-threatening sexually transmitted infections and diseases. An estimated 25 percent of U.S. teens who engage in unprotected sex will eventually develop a sexually transmitted infection or STI like chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes and syphilis. Abstinence is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy…
Safe sex Unsafe sex is the practice of unwanted or unprotected sex. Many people think that falling pregnant is the only issue after unprotected sex. Unsafe sex carries a variety of risks and pregnancy is just one. There are many sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that can come with unsafe sex and chlamydia and HIV/AIDS are just two. Chlamydia Anyone can get chlamydia through unprotected anal, vaginal or oral sex. Chlamydia can cause permanent damage to a woman’s reproductive organs making it…
2/12/2014 Chris Hawkinson: Safer Sex Carnival I attended the Safer Sex Carnival at Mav. Ave. There were several booths set up to educate students on safer sex practices. Some were geared specifically for women, for example the dental dam booth which I somehow accidentally managed to miss. However, most booths catered to both sexes very well, I especially liked tattoo and date night booth. At that booth students were asked to write down a date night that didn’t involve sex. I wrote ice skating and got…
Does sex and violence on television have negative effects on children? The issue that I am addressing is the effect of sex and violence in the media on children. As long as there has been television, there has been an association made between media and violence – children who repeated what they saw on cartoons leading to their death, teenagers injured while emulating a popular movie, and mass killings blamed on video games. Primarily this relationship has been assumed to be causal with television…
Sex Education in Schools Rani A. Perales Kaplan University Sex Education in Schools “Sixty-six percent of American high school students have had sex by their senior year” (Masland, 2013, para. 5). Yet, many parents tend to think that if they do not talk to their children about sex then they will not have sex. It is a subject that they shield their teens from. They tend to look the other way when a teen gets pregnant or contracts a Sexually Transmitted Disease. So, when the school decides to take…
years progress, the influence of sex has taken a more profound effect on teenagers. Nowadays, it seems that sex is everywhere. It’s portrayed on our TV’s, on the internet, magazines and most movies have “sex scenes” in them or portray sex in some way. Many teens are having unprotected sex not thinking about the consequences. Back in 2006, Planned Parenthood made a T.V ad designed to encourage safe sex. The host Bill from The O’Reilly Factor had stated “its safe sex versus appropriate viewing”, even…
Sex Sells. The word “sex” can make some people happy, some people crack up laughing, and others turn red with embarrassment. We live in a society where sex is the “thing,” we see it on TV, on billboards, in fashion magazines, and on cd covers. Why is that? Simple answer, sex sells. We all came to live with it and may not even think twice about it when it is presented right in front us. However, when it comes to the branch of prostitution, on the darker side of the sex industry, for the most part…
education programs increase young people’s level of knowledge about sex and sexuality, push back the average age at which they first have sexual intercourse and decrease risk when they do have sex. The question many people ask is “Should sex education be taught in school?”, I believe the answer is yes. Sex education is the process of learning about and forming attitudes and beliefs about sex and sexual identity, relationships, and intimacy. Sex education is also about developing young people’s skills so…
