[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jedi Weyoun: [QB] Well, the way I see it, it seems a lot of folks my age (and younger, unfortunately, and older) simply get together and half sex because they're bored sometimes. or stressed, maybe. Personally, even if sex is a stress reliever, or the ultimate expression of love, I don't think I'd take that step before I'm married. Three of my friends i've known through highschool, at least, have had babies. I don't know if they were mature enough to take care of these kids, hopefully so. I don't know if I am, either. Possibly so. But I'm not ready to have THAT MUCH responsibility. I'm not ready to sudenly have to grow up that fast. So why not have an abortion, or use birth control pills or something, right? wrong...nothing is fool-proof except abstinence. Catholic schools have drummed 'safe sex' and all the crap that they teach about sex and contraception and everything into my head, and I'm still figuring out for myself how much of it I agree with and how much i think is just symantics. but until i'm comfortable and confident with handling the possibility of having a baby, i'm not going to risk throwing away what i have right now...a fairly good relationship with family, college, ...[b]youth[/b]... religion does play a big part in all this for me, but a lot of it is also just knowing my own limits. of two of my friends who got pregnant, the first was no surprise, and the second was. it wasn't really the girl that surprised me...it was her boyfriend. I had never expected that would happen, because he struck me as really responsible with a lot of common sense. I don't hold it against him, and i don't look down at him for it, because it *is* human nature, and everyone has their limits. given half a chance, i'm not even sure if i could stand by my own values about this. i would hope so, but i'm not sure. *shrugs* oh well. enough of this ranting of mine [/QB][/QUOTE]
