Sex: should I do it? Teenagers are not equipped mentally to make such an important decision, yet most are wrestling with this inner conflict on a day to day basis, mostly due to social pressures. Having to ponder the question first means that the answer should be a resounding no, however, the lessons learned from dealing with questions about sex are an integral part in shaping our identity.

 

The questions we have about sex, are not necessarily about ourselves, our opinions of the sexual antics of others also help to shape our beliefs on the subject, and these opinions generally remain with us into adulthood.  Sexual decision making and logical thinking do not always go hand in hand either; listen to the conversations of most teenagers and this soon becomes apparent. The point is often argued though, especially when there are contributing factors such as religion thrown into the mix.
