Typically 8 year olds may love their friends. But they have no interest in sex.
14 year olds are different. Some 14 year olds are willing and think they are ready. Many 14 year olds are too awkward to get that far.
Good parents will have already explained to their kids by 14 the responsibilities and risks of sex.
Seemingly some 14 year olds are ready for sex. Every kid is different.
It depends on the kid.
Sure. But it depends on the parent to make sure that the kid who "thinks" he/she is ready to not actually act upon it until much later. That's called parenting.
I don't care what kid at 14 years old "thinks" they're ready, they're not. A 14 year old can get pregnant and that will ruin their lives. I hate to be a jerk about it, but a 14 year old doesn't even know how to take care of themselves, how the heck are they going to take care of a someone else, a baby no less?! Its hard enough for adults who are prepared!
And its not fair for that 14 year olds parent to be the one to take care of the baby. They already raised the 14 year old!
Let me give you two example stories of scenarios that I personally know of:
One young woman only 22 years old has two kids already, each from a different guy, and still lives at home, and has no great career prospects and no plan for moving out on her own. WTF? before she even left the house she brought in not one but two more mouths?!
Why... because the parents allowed that shit.
Another young girl I know of, also in her early 20's, again living at home, no baby-daddy, and just gave birth. You know what she does for a living? She does delivery for a Chinese food place! WTF?
And where the baby-daddy's in all this? Out running around fucking other dummies with no consequences, because the guy gets to go off and do whatever. Its the girl that gets screwed.
"But I love my baby." Yeah, I'm sure your baby is cute and adorable, but what getting a life so you can provide for that baby?
No, there's way too much irresponsibility at a young age. Its this blasé attitude towards it that's leading to so many young unplanned pregnancies and young people not knowing what to do with their lives. Parenting sometimes means reining that shit in.
Of course. But what are you going to do? You teach your kids the responsibilities and risks of sex. And then you hope they make good decisions.
And really? Most teenagers who are sexually active, don't get pregnant. And most teens know that.
Responsible kids who respect sacrifice and determination, and have long term goals will decide not to take a chance. And to put off having sex until they are prepared for the risks.
Other kids won't. Even with the same upbringing.
I agree. Bad parenting and no parenting will inevitably lead to more problems. I am all for good parenting. And socially what do we do about bad parents and no parents?
The best parents will be able to assist their pregnant daughter without seeking government assistance.
