I EXIST…LiFe as it is…

I was reading the local newspaper yesterday and my eyes caught the statement that says “Having SEX is the norm now and it’s best if teachers and counsellors can better prepare the students.” So much to my surprise long ago, I have read somewhere that some young teens engaged themselves to sex at the age of 13 or even 12. Yeah, it’s pretty true and moreover, some or maybe many of these young one’s doesn’t even know what protected sex is all about and the consequences of having sex at an early age, taking into the very fact the risks of having Sexually Transmitted Diseases.

Going back to the statement above, I think I would rather let my child be aware of the so called “SEX” in time  she reaches puberty stage. I know that this is such a liberated move to do, but I guess we have to face the reality that if today young ones engaged themselves in this kind of activity, how much more the young ones in the next 10 or 15 years from now. In my opinion, there is no room for putting nuances on what is sex for today and tomorrow anymore.

I think, as a parent I should know what and how will I be able to deliver such matter to my child. I know our elders regarded sex as sacred and we were taught the conservative way of dealings.  But I guess these teachings will take no effect in the modern society that we have now and to the future generations. So how?

Right time comes, and we will know what to say to our kids. For me, we don’t guard them 24/7 of their lives when they too have already their own mindset. We are not there to tell them not to continue the urge to do such an act if they are in the middle of the session. It’s the fact that we parents cannot control. But we are given 10 years to prepare before our kids reach the age of puberty and when they start knowing what to do, I think it’s the right time to give them the best guidance. Goodluck!
