Survey: Teens feel pressured to have sex

“Changing social norms and cultural expectations as well as delayed marriage means many young people have multiple sexual relationships in their lifetimes and need the information and tools to make healthy decisions and communicate with their partners,” the report said.
About one in three teens said they had been in a relationship where they felt things were moving too fast sexually.

I think many parents do not understand that while they think they are being responsible by purchasing a box of condoms for their sons and saying “you can do what you want, just don’t bring home no babies”, they are not taking any responsibilty for other people’s daughters. I know many would argue that they are not responsible for other people’s children, but they do have a responsibilty to teach their sons not to do harm to others.
I realise I am speaking from a female’s perspective here, and my intent is not to say women are innocent victims, but simply that my perspective is simply from someone who was once a teenage girl. Teenage girls very often succumb to sex simply because they do not know how to extricate themselves from a situation where a boy is pressuring them. I am sure this is more the case than the need to express one’s sexuality or whatever buzz terms or philosophies are in vogue now.
