Premarital Sex

                “If you want to make love with your partner, the safest thing to wear is a… WEDDING RING”.

                This is one of my favorite quotes in my cell phone. Simple and short yet make sense especially nowadays that most of my fellow teens are already engaged in premarital sex.

                Premarital sex refers to sexual intercourse done before the marriage and many youngsters are already doing it. This is quite alarming especially for the parents. I guess, this is the main reason why some parents do not allow their daughters to have boyfriend at their teenage years. They don’t want their children commit mistakes that they will regret later.

                I have friends and friends of my friends who already experienced it. According to them, they didn’t actually planned it. It just happened. I remember before when I’m yelling them about my crush or whenever they see me so kilig with my crush, they would tell me “ang landi mo!”. I just laugh because I know they didn’t mean it. It’s just an expression. They are more mahinhin than me. One of them is boyish pa nga. That’s why I am so shocked when they told me that they already experienced it. My boyish friend got pregnant at the age of seventeen.

                Now, she is living with the father of her child. They already had two kids. I guess she’s happy even if she didn’t turn out the right way.

                I’m not judging them, they are my friends. After some realizations, I got afraid. If my friends didn’t avoid doing it, how will I? I can never say that I will never do the same because I don’t know what’s going to happen next. Hopefully not. I want to remain pure until my wedding day.

                Sex is not a bad thing. Without sex, all of us wouldn’t be here. It is actually a gift of God for married couples for them to have their own children.

                So for us, teens, there is no need to rush. We will experience it someday, at the right time and with the right person. Chill
