Why the Age of Consent for Sex Is Important
by Green S. CEOWhy you
should really think carefully about having sex for the first time.
The "
Age of
Consent in Nevada Means Sweet Sixteen Or Else" is the age at which it
becomes legal for young people to engage in penetrative sexual acts. There are
laws to stop older people from taking advantage of younger people by having sex
with them. The laws are also intended to protect younger people who may not
really understand the maturity it takes to have sex. For instance, it is not
usually easy for very young teenagers to have and care for a baby - not easy
for a couple and certainly not easy for a single girl on her own.
Here's an
example of having sex too soon and having a bumpy life ahead because of it.
Belinda was
a good student at school and really talented at science. Her teachers thought
she could become a great scientist and encouraged her to sit for a scholarship.
Belinda was the first girl in history to be awarded the scholarship. She did
not get to celebrate her big achievement though as she found out that at
fifteen, she was pregnant to her boyfriend, Tony.
Belinda's
family did not like Tony and they put all the blame for the pregnancy on Tony.
Of course Belinda knew she was also responsible for getting pregnant as she
loved Tony and wanted to have sex with him. Her parents refused to accept this
and they also refused to let Belinda have an abortion. They had strong
religious beliefs that taking a baby's chance of living away through an
abortion was a sin.
Belinda and
Tony ran away from their parents' homes and tried to set up a home of their own
to have the baby in. Unfortunately, Tony could not get a job because he had no
training. Also nobody would rent them a flat because they had no credit rating
(that's when you have proven that you can borrow money and pay it back
reliably). Belinda got very sick during her pregnancy and wanted the security
of a roof over her head and so the young couple decided to split up and go back
home to their parents.
Belinda had
the baby but Tony never saw it. He had gone to live interstate. Belinda took a
part-time job in the supermarket as a "check-out chick" so that she
could be there as much as possible for the baby. She never did get to find out
how good she could have been as a scientist.
Don't you
think Belinda missed out on something? So if you are contemplating having sex
for the first time, really think it through and make sure you take safety
precautions to make sure you dont get a disease or have an unwanted pregnancy.
