Why I posted it in my blog the strong reason is my dongsaeng asked me... "Eonni, did you hate ? Why you told us to not made or fanfict? You said it's not good for us? Why we must stopped to read it yeah you didn't said we must quiet, but warned us to read the other?" Hahaha.... I laughed, actually I was shocked. And one question that really bother me is "Eon, that's love means ? All I know and I had read many books love reffers to " WHAT THE?????????????????????? They're pure angel and know nothing. Somehow someone laughed when I told him and he said to me.... "If love means , no cases that suicide because of pregnancies. Remember how many cases that women organization get every month???? One of the cases is dating violene,  boy forced the girl to have or she came and cried during told about her story. You know it better than me, better give your sister at fandom about education. Btw If love is or the edge of love is , maybe we don't need to marry. That's just my opinion. Actually, as boy I'd imagined it. Your brother, your cousin they maybe imagined it to also you, but our culture, religion, parents teach us that isn't love and love isn't . Everyone has different opinion and thought, yeah you made me realized that I have sister too and don't say to me that is my sister who gave you the question?" 

 

Facts on American Teens' ual and Reproductive Health

 

UAL ACTIVITY

•Although only 13% of teens have had by age 15, most initiate in their later teen years. By their 19th birthday, seven in 10 female and male teens have had .

•On average, young people have for the first time at about age 17, but they do not marry until their mid-20s. This means that young adults may be at increased risk for unintended pregnancy and STIs for nearly a decade or longer.

•Teens are waiting longer to have than they did in the recent past. In 2006–2008, some 11% of never-married females aged 15–19 and 14% of never-married males that age had had before age 15, compared with 19% and 21%, respectively, in 1995.

•However, after declining substantially between 1995 and 2002, the proportion of teens who had ever had did not change significantly from 2002 to 2006–2008.

•In 2006–2010, the most common reason that ually inexperienced teens gave for not having had was that it was “against religion or morals” (38% among females and 31% among males). The second and third most common reasons for females were “don’t want to get pregnant” and “haven’t found the right person yet.”[5]

•Among ually experienced teens, 70% of females and 56% of males report that their first ual experience was with a steady partner, while 16% of females and 28% of males report first having with someone they had just met or who was just a friend.[5]

•Seven percent of young women aged 18–24 who had had before age 20 report that their first ual experience was nonvoluntary. Those whose first partner was three or more years their senior were more likely to report this than were other women in the same age-group.[1]

•Teens in the United States and Europe have similar levels of ual activity. However, European teens are more likely than U.S. teens to use contraceptives generally and to use the most effective methods; they therefore have substantially lower pregnancy rates.

•Three percent of males and 8% of females aged 18–19 in 2002 reported their ual orientation as homoual or biual; the proportions reporting same- behaviors were similar.[7]

•The use of contraceptives during first premarital has been increasing, rising from 56% among women whose first premarital occurred before 1985, to 76% among those who first had in 2000–2004, to 84% among those whose first occurred in 2005–2008.

CONTRACEPTIVE USE

•A ually active teen who does not use a contraceptive has a 90% chance of becoming pregnant within a year.

•The majority of ually experienced teens (78% of females and 85% of males) used contraceptives the first time they had .

and Adolescents by Dr. C. George Boeree

Although the ability to achieve is a neurological process present at birth, actual reproduction only occurs after the hormonal preparations provided by puberty.  And so, while many grade-school boys and girls are interested in the opposite and may even be engaging in childhood versions of ual activity (ion or "playing doctor", for example), it is in adolescence that uality becomes a real issue.

 

The average age of first in the US is 16.6 for boys and 17.2 for girls.  Here is a more detailed account (NCHS, 1995):

Age at First

Males                Females
 
27% by age 15        25% by age 15
45% by age 16        39% by age 16
59% by age 17        52% by age 17
69% by age 18        65% by age 18
85% by age 19        77% by age 19

According to another study from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention:

• 87.8% of all high school students reported having ual .
• 50.4% of high school students reported having four or more partners.
• 45.9% of ually active high school students reported using a during their last ual .
• 14.1% of ually active high school students reported using birth control during their last ual .
• 40.1% of ually active high school students reported using alcohol or drugs during their last ual .

(Center for Disease Control and Prevention. National Alternative High School Youth Risk Behavior Survey. 1998. www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dash/yrbs/healthrisk-fs.htm)

Among western, industrialized nations, only Russia and Estonia (both of which are suffering badly from the social turmoil resulting from the breakdown of the Soviet Union) have more teenage pregnancies and more teenage abortions than the United States.  About one million teenagers -- 10% of girls between 15 and 19 -- become pregnant every year in the US!  If you take out the girls who are s, 19% of all girls who have had get pregnant. (Teenage pregnancy: overall trends and state-by-state information. 1999. Alan Guttmacher Institute. New York: AGI.)

Most people who study these issues agree that, in addition to a -laden media, it is our conservative attitudes towards education that are primarily to blame:  The US is one of the few countries in the world that routinely attempts to promote abstinence while assiduously avoiding making reference to other ways to avoid pregnancy and disease.  One of our recent Surgeon Generals was forced to resign for the unpardonable sin of suggesting that we might make it clear to high school students that ion is a safe alternative to !

Not long ago, President Clinton was censured by the congress of the US for lying under oath about his relationship with a White House intern.  He claimed that when he said he had not had ual relations with her, he was only telling the truth:  He did not consider oral to be ual relations.  Most people were astounded at the naiveté of that defense.

Unfortunately, it has come to light that a sizable proportion of southern college freshmen and sophomores (among others) think the same thing!  37% believed that oral is in fact ual abstinence! In addition, 24% felt the same way about , and fully 61% felt that way about mutual ion.

(Horan PF, Phillips J and Hagan NE, The meaning of abstinence for college students, Journal of HIV/AIDS Prevention & Education for Adolescents & Children, 1998, 2(2):51-66.  Reported in Remez, Lisa.  Oral Among Adolescents: Is It or Is It Abstinence? Family Planning Perspectives Volume 32, Number 6, November/December 2000, available at http://www.agi-usa.org/pubs/journals/3229800.html#50a.)

In Los Angeles high schools, it was found that about 30% of s engaged in mutual ion, 10% of s engaged in oral , and 1% engaged in .  Apparently, you can have and still be a !

(Schuster MA, Bell RM and Kanouse DE, The ual practices of adolescent s: ual activities of high school students who have never had l , American Journal of Public Health, 1996, 86(11):1570-1576.  Reported in Remez, 2000)

While ual abstinence and monogamy are being taught to our teenagers, it seems that adults are having their own problems with the concepts.  Here are some interesting statistics on adults:

Number of ual partners since age 18

               Men     Women

none             3%        3%
one             20        31
2 to 4          21        36
5 to 10         23        20 
11 to 20        16         6
21 or more      17         3

(Laumann, Gagnon, Michael, Michaels, 1994).

It does get considerably better for married people:  About 80% of women and somewhere between 65 and 85% of men say that they had no ual partners other than their spouse while married.  94% of married men and women say they only had with their spouse in the last year.  But 5% had at least one partner other than their spouse -- with 1% saying they had over four other partners! (Laumann, Gagnon, Michael, Michaels, 1994).
