“Haven’t you received the text message from Margaux?”
“Nope, I haven’t. What is it?”
“You’re really behind the track. She’s three months pregnant! And you know what, her parents still don’t know about her condition!”
“Really? You’re kidding, right? If that’s true, then who’s the father?”
Does the dialogue mentioned above seem familiar? Could it be a scenario that may be to a close friend, a relative, a neighbor or an elementary schoolmate or classmate you haven’t seen since then?
May I ask you, who among you want to be a parent at an early age? I think no one would ever fantasize. Come to think of it, had you come to an instance that you asked your “ATM” (stands for “Ai Ta Ma”) for an increase in your allowance to cover your load, shopping, strolling here and there and other stuff just to fulfill your wants?
As a teenager myself in this generation, I would never deny of the feeling that in some point of my solitude, I crave for it and fantasize to experience it. Sexual impulses are very human especially to us teenagers, for we are greatly swayed by our emotions or, shall I say, “desires” at this stage of our lives. But it is a normal thing according to psychology.
Here’s the question: Do you really have to be dumb?
Because, goodness gracious, you can always delay that urge to quickly buy these different types of condoms: TRUST, FRENZY and many others. You always have the option to be afraid to get STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) or be afraid to commit sin (as what our parish priests always say) in engaging in pre-marital sex. Or you can always bring yourself back to your senses and be sensible and listen to your conscience. Keep this in mind. If you really have to do this, it isn’t time yet. You’re not prepared.
I tell you, a spur of the moment when not properly handled can lead to things that are still beyond our capabilities. Just think of the consequences of your actions when you get there: to abort the child and let your conscience haunt you for the rest of your life or accept the great responsibility that even your mom and dad haven’t fully mastered yet, being a parent.
Again, for you girls, you don’t have to be dumb. We usually hear people say when news of an obvious unwanted pregnancy spreads: “She’s dumb. Why would she let herself get into something like that when she doesn’t want it? She’s stupid!” That’s it. You don’t have to be dumb and I’m not done yet.
And for you guys, it isn’t that you’re not the one who will suffer much, obviously, you will not be the one to get pregnant. But my point is, you must be responsible. Being a man doesn’t mean that experience in sex boosts your appeal. A real man is the one who has the sense to take responsibility.
So, again, boys and girls, remember that life is a game. You have to have the strategies to win yet you also have to think of the consequences that your actions do to other people, whether good or bad. You can always take the wrong path and have an unpleasant life. Or, you can accept my advice.
