THE CONSEQUENCES OF UNPROTECTED SEX

Introduction
     How is it possible to obtain conversations about sex with young people?
Life is hard to understand because sometimes we don’t know how to control our feelings.  It is hard to know what are the good and bad things to do. Unprotected sex is one of those things. Unprotected sex causes many problems in the community especially for younger people. In my opinion having sex and not using something to protect us, is like being careless with our lives.  We can know now many things about the consequences of being irresponsible with protection. We have to think about our responsibilities.

Teach their children
Young people are really curious, and they want to have their own experience. These experiences they want to obtain for themselves. That’s why it's necessary to know about the risks that they run if they do not use birth control. Today parents have the responsibility to teach their children about sex. Advantages and disadvantages are something they have to dispute. If the young people don’t use condoms they can get infections.  If they have an infection they can pass it to another person and then this spreads throughout the society. So the infection can stay there and spread even into your family.



Irresponsible people
If a girl 15 years old had sex and she wasn't responsible with her boyfriend, the consequence is that she can become pregnant. So therefore she causes problems with her parents. Some time ago, it was common to see girls of 15 to 17 years old playing at being a mother but with a real baby, says my mom. These days it is common to see young people that are parents at an early age too. Sometimes I think it is true because teenagers don’t have their minds clear. Maybe they don’t know what they want in their life at that age. Having a baby prevents them from accomplishing their goals.

Information
Today in the world there are many ways to get knowledge about  unprotected sex. The first way is teaching the kids from an early age. The second is that they can learn in the school. The third way is the most popular that everybody can get access to information from the internet. The internet provides information about many things that we don’t know. There we can have the answers to any question that we want to know, sometimes the internet help us but not too much. If we can’t have a good communication with our parents or doctors it is a good way to obtain answers.

Scared
Talking about ponderous topics such as sex is difficult for some parents because they’re fearful. Some parents in the past were reserved about sex conversations with their children. That’s why they produce and provoke in their children secrecy. Before the Internet existed people were so reserved to talk about sex and that was bad. They never knew the risks. But day by day all this is changing and today we have a lot of information about unprotected sex and its risks.

Conversations
If I have a kid of an age of 15 or 17 years old, I hope to help her have conversations about unprotected sex. Because many feelings are common at this age, I want to talk to her about risks.  It is true because I already passed through those ages. I don’t want to say that I am an expert in those topics. I know I need to learn more about this. Sometimes boys make girls feel bad about their personality, because at this age the boys don’t want to use a condom. That’s why they use strategies to convince the girls to have a sex in different ways.

Closure
For girls there are many methods to not become pregnant. But these don’t protect them from risks. In these days the parents have to be friends with their children because this helps their kids to be more confident. They have to talk about pregnancy, and risks. I, as a mother, I will seek the best things for my kids, like obtaining more information and reading magazines to be up to date with the information about how to protect them.  Also I would like to go to lectures about how to talk with youth about unprotected sex. Being responsible for the consequences of our choices is difficult, but we have to continue with having conversations with young people.
