When it's time to talk about sex / Attitudes - kids observe their parents

The article advices parents to educate their children about sex issues before they start school. You may wonder how is it related to teenage issues.

As underage sex and teenage pregnancy becomes a increasing problem, it is stated in the article that "a poll conducted by Aoxiang Counselling Service in 2005 showed that as many as one-third of 1,500 students aged between 13 and 14 said they are already having sex". Most of these students lack the education or understanding of sexual issues, while others are not able to contain their lust for pleasure.
It is indeed true that the school is responsible to educate the students, but "parents set the social, religious and moral standards for a child," because their "sexual attitudes and behaviours can influence how his children view sex and sexuality".

How is this then related to the issue of increasing cases of underage sex and teenage pregnancy?

As research have shown, more cases of underage sex and teenage pregnancy are ever increasing and most of the teenagers involved does it is because they want to enjoy something adult-like and they view it as a way to relieve their stress. We can then infer that they have a wrong concept about sex as "1,210 students said "yes" to the idea of pre-marital sex", and that is why the idea of parents sharing their view on sex or educating the children since young about sex may be able to make a difference. There are always two sides to everything, depending on what their parents tell the children, it could be for the better or the worse.

What if somehow the child is involved in such a case even if the parents have talked to him or her?

Although it may sound rude, but when the parent decides to talk to the child, it is just a prevention and it is not proven that it will definitely work in making sure that the child would not be involved in the future.

I may not be an expert or a profession in that field of study, but so far i am able to keep away from trouble and i can say that the attitude or self-control of the child is the key to keeping him or her away from trouble. Whether they treasure themselves or not, it all depends on the individual.

Therefore after all that i have said, these is just one thing i want to tell all the teenagers out there, who are facing difficulties. It is you who is responsible for yourself, if you do not treasure yourself nobody can help you, people can only be there to support you. If you think you are useless, then you are not aware how many people out there admires and want to be like you.

You are yourself.
