I think he means they're not problems at all. Not sure if I agree or not.

I certainly don't see unmarried parents or single parents as 'a problem'. I can't believe anyone would...

Former Member

You can't possibly consider it an ideal though.

Former Member

Few things in life are. Married, two-parents couples are not necessarily ideal either. It depends on the circumstances of each individual home.

And I certainly don't see anything wrong or even less than ideal with unmarried people having babies.

I wonder how many unhappy married parents there were though?

There's also the fact that teenagers are becoming sexualised (biologically) at an earlier age, so of course the urges come along with that. I think that we have to adapt to reflect this, and I don't think creating a culture where sex is something not to be discussed or even be ashamed of, is the best way to do that. Unfortunately, I think the culture of sex being something to be celebrated and enjoyed has come along, which would be fine in itself, but the openess and matureness to talk about it and ask questions hasn't come along with it. Therefore you have a situation currently where sex is something that everyone is doing, and is the greatest thing in the history of the world, but alongside it, the culture of not talking about it, and not asking questions, which is why you get the problems of people doing it when they aren't ready, being pressured into it, or doing it without taking the correct precautions.

Exactly. This is further proved by the situation in such countries such as Sweden, Finland, etc where sex education is far more integrated and comprehensive, age of consent often lower, and yet there are far fewer pregancies and STDs amongst youngsters.

Which proves that sex education is part of the solution not part of the problem.

Indeed, there's nothing sick or wrong about not having sex.

Unless it's with a chicken.
