Virginity’s value reduced to ordinary;real love achieved with communication

Virginity just isn’t valued anymore. According to LifeSiteNews.com, a 2006 study showed that 40% of teens in the US lose their virginity by age 14.

That’s an atrocity. Not only are 14 year-olds not mature enough for sex but they don’t know the facts about it either. Sex education isn’t even taught in depth until most teens’ freshman year of high school. No wonder 750,000 to 850,000 teen girls experience pregnancy in a year, according to advocatesforyouth.org.

The times of waiting until marriage for sex are long gone. Now kids are losing their virginity just because they are sick of being virgins, and they feel like they’re missing out on something. Virginity is being treated more like a burden than a blessing.

Instead of waiting for the right person to give their precious flower to, more and more teens are just giving it away when the first opportunity presents itself.

Often girls feel pressured by their boyfriends to “take their relationships to the next level.” Their boyfriends will say something like, “If you really love me then you’ll sleep with me,” and, in fear of losing their boyfriends, the girls give in.

Usually girls in that situation end up losing him anyway because once he has what he wants, there’s no reason for him to stick around.

One should lose their virginity with someone they love and feel 100% comfortable with. They shouldn’t have any doubts about it and afterwards should feel no regret.

Sex is supposed to be something special between two people who love each other unconditionally, but relationships shouldn’t revolve solely around sex. Relationships should revolve around communication and trust.

Sex is becoming meaningless. “Making love” has transformed into casual sex, and hook-ups are replacing long-lasting relationships.

It’s not uncommon for couples in high school to say “I love you” after dating for just a few weeks. Soon after that they begin the sexual part of their relationship.

A couple should be dating a lot longer than a few measly weeks before they say “I love you” and start becoming intimate. It’s a big commitment, and both parties involved need to be ready.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that one should wait until marriage to have sex, it just means that sex isn’t something to be taken lightly.

Teens these days need to slow down and stop trying to grow up too fast. They need to start respecting themselves and learn to value their virginity.
