Old enough by law, to experience
and partake in sexual intercourse, but not mature enough to accept the
responsibilities of it's potential consequences.
That's what I'm gonna write about today. Unwanted
pregnancy is on the rise. I do not have the statistics on it, but we all
know that teenage pregnancy is on the rise don't we? And I am excluding
all those who either got pregnant by choice because they wanted the baby,
and those who were raped and such. I am just focusing on people who are
unmarried and pregnant, not because they want to have a child, but because
they want to enjoy sex, but are not responsible enough to accept what may
happen if things go wrong-- as in "Lo Behold! A baby's due to come."
And I am also putting the blame on the men,
as well as the women. BOth whom should have firstly taken as much precaution
as they could to AVOID pregnancy, but were just careless enough to think
that "Just one time won't be any danger." And for thinking that prevention
is full proof... dears... NOTHING IS FULL PROOF, nothing but abstinence.
If you DON'T want unexpected pregnancy, DON'T risk it!
And if you and your guy are not committed,
or never planned on getting married and things like that, Don't expect
that he will want to stick around for you when he's done banging you up
good enough that you're carrying his kid in your womb. ESPECIALLY TEENAGERS!
That's why you find new born babies dead in
the dumpsters then. Hospital bills are heavy, families still rarely support
their girl who was stupid enough to get pregnant by a louse. And during
your teenage years, you have enough responsibility as it is, and I don't
think that the added burden would be welcomed.
I will admit that a lot of people who've been
through it did manage to come out and bring up that child well though.
But there are also so many whom brought that child to the world just to
get wasted by it, because being pregnant when you don't want to be changes
your whole life. Especially when you're still so young, suddenly all those
windows of opportunity closes and the doors slam in your face. Then the
illegitement child ends up suffering for your mistakes. There would be
that stigma, the feeling of being unloved and all those which the child
will have to face.
Why am I writing about this now?
First it was my little friends sister, age
23, who found she was pregnant, and her boyfriend said "Adios baby!" when
he found out about it. Being Asian, girls for the most are still dependent
on their parents until they are married. Anyway, she ended up aborting
and going back to the same boyfriend who dumped her. Honestly I don't see
the sense in that.
And another friend of mine who likes to come
to me for advice. I knew that him and his gf living together would not
be a good idea. But the girls mother had thrown her out of the house so
he was trying to help her. Fine. I told him that it was not the safest
situation, but he said he knew she wasn't the one for him... Now she's
7 month's pregnant with his child. She's 19 too, and has a low paying part
time job. He is supporting his family because his father passed away, and
his mom can't support the family alone, and his older brother is another
lousy loafer eating up on the family income without adding to it. Over
the past two years he has almost had nothing else to ever talk to me about
aside from the stress his family is causing him.
Now the gal is pregnant, and they are "sorta
committed" (his words), she wants them to be married so that the child
would be legit, but he isn't happy about that because he doesn't think
that she's the gal for him. SO WHY THE HELL DID HE STILL SLEEP WITH HER
KNOWING THAT?? They had broken up 4 months before she had to move in with
him. He was dating and sleeping with another girl but broke it off when
he thought that she was falling in love with him.
I admit that I don't always find it nice talking
to him and trying to be supportive even though he's a dear friend to me.
Our values completely differ. It actually makes me sick at times. I hate
it when people take relationships and sexual intercourse so lightly.
Then this is what happens... An innocent unborn
child comes into the picture and all Hell breaks loose.
*sigh*
There were reasons why in the olden times the
elders would check the beds of the newly married couple for spotting. Why
it was important at one time in the west for girls to value their chastity.
I am glad that it is still not truly accepted in the Eastern Culture and
by religions though. Consummation should only ever come AFTER marriage.
...I know that not all Asian women now a days
value their chastity as much either. And in this I am also ruling out prostitutes
and such, because you know for the most, they are on birth control, and
would rather abort the fetus rather than take the months off the streets.
But in regards to the normal everyday family, it's still not accepted in
Asia, though I will also admit that the younger generation is taking in
both the good and bad of the western culture, and beginning to hold chastity
as loosely as it is there.
For the Muslims in the olden days, a girl
who loses her virginity unwed, would have been stoned to death or outcasted
and such. I don't agree to such extremities, but the reason it was done
was so that they would be too scared to act out of line.
For Hindu's until today they still practice
arranged marriages, for the most of the population the parents still have
alot of control over the girl until she is married. I have a friend who
is 32 years old, still living with her parents, unmarried, and yes, she
is a virgin, and she is such a gem! And another friend of mine who just
got married recently, he's got a fabulous job and a great personality,
and at the age of 36, it wasn't until the night of his wedding that he
first experienced love making... There's a reason why people wait. It makes
the experience ever the more beautiful, sacred. The consummation of a marriage
is a bonding and a promise between two souls, not just the meeting of two
bodies...
And that's what it's become now a days for
so many... A mere meeting of two bodies engaging in intercourse for pleasure.
No responsibilities, no strings attached, just animal lust... ANY ANIMAL
CAN DO THAT! That's why human were made different. Marriage is supposed
to be "Till death do us part." And sexual intercourse or lovemaking is
supposed to be an expression of the two souls mingling with love, respect
and commitment towards each other. And it's definitely IS enjoyable. It's
for procreation... And it's been so abused... That wonderful gift, the
ability to express your love to each other and create a new life with that
expression has been so mangled and abused...
Someone asked me to write more perverted stories.
I can't, I don't want to. I believe in making love, not just animal sex.
The perversion of it has caused all these problems related to sex anyway.
I don't believe in having a sexual intercourse
before marriage, though a couple of my stories may reflect an exception
to the rule. But I will NOT pervert my own ideals on what it should be.
And another thing, this entree is NOT supposed
to be erotic. It's just the plain, simple, hard truth about the way the
world is going today when they can take something as sacred as a girls
virginity and drag it through dirt. And make it so that teenagers are actually
ASHAMED that they have not lost their virginity!!
Whatever happened to being "The Virgin Bride"?
Why wear white wedding gowns then?? White was a symbol of the purity of
the virgin bride. Now it's just a mere traditional trend color.
Anyway, those who are committed enough to get
married aren't the issue here. It's just that the girls and guys of today
really have to put more self worth to themselves. Perhaps for guys it's
always been a macho thing to be able to boast about how many girls they
have slept with. It's so damn common at times that I have to just ignore
it. I have a best friend who has no respect for women at all aside from
being used as a hole to prick. And when he talks like that, he knows to
expect me to hang up. Except to my one special person, to most guys, I'm
just one of the guys. SO yes, I've heard about how cheap they consider
the gal they used the night before for a one-night-stand. How they dump
gals who want commitment after they've slept with the gal. Heard about
how they go after a girl JUST because she's a virgin and they want to see
who can break that first! And guys who trade bed mates more often than
they change their shirts!
I can't say that the girls are all pure and
good either. I know both genders have their faults. Girls who sleep around
just as much as the guys. Girls who shamelessly flirt and try to arouse
men, and then turn cold when the guy can't seem to control himself. Girls
who also pick up and dumps guys because they want to have fun, but run
from commitments.
Being a Bitch, and having slept with half the
town is NOTHING to be proud of.
And being a Bastard, to leave the girl you've
impregnated to drown and take the whole bulk of that responsibility is
FAR FROM BEING manly. Because if THAT is what manhood is... Men should
be castrated. But I know it's not, it's just tragic that it happens anyway.
It's just that people like this... Some of
them live their whole lives without really having to regret it. But one
way or another it goes catch up to them.
But those who end up being pregnant and NOT
wanting to be so... They've just let their irresponsibility hurt a new
life. They've perverted God's gift of procreation to man. They've cheapened
life itself.
And I hate seeing it continue to happen every
single day...
The End
