while I do not think that teenagers should be having random sex nor do I even think that they are clear headed enough to think clearly and obtusely about whether or not to have sex they definitely seem to keep having it. On top of that I remember being a teenager and that was pretty much all that was on my mind. Its a natural, biological side effect of maturing through puberty everyone goes through puberty in different ways but it all involves a lot of hormones and the FACT that a person is now able to produce the what is necessary to have a child. Now that aside I do not think it is a big deal that we talk about having sex promoting it or preaching against it we live in a pretty free civilized world its 2010 for gods sake. If you do not think teenagers should be having sex then you discuss it let them no the precautions and repercussions of having it. What we as adults seem to forget is that though we can suggest what our children can and can not do; we can not prevent them from doing it entirely. Teenagers are really a world unto themselves and if you raised your child with the knowledge of right and wrong before they hit puberty there shouldn't be a huge problem for them in deciphering it after they hit puberty. Songs like this are not the problem, however, people who try to treat sexual issues as though they are wrong or taboo (or think that songs or the media in general can influence a child so much that it would cause them to do something they know they shouldn't) are definitely part of the problem not the solution. I mean most teenagers would not get the references made in songs if some adult didn't pick up on it somewhere and spell it out. I know we live in the world of free speech but sometimes silence is better and sometimes its not, unfortunately most people have their ideas on when to talk and when to shut up mixed up. |
