Abstinence: To chose or not to choose?
Many teenagers just don’t understand the responsibilities that go along with being sexually active, they don’t even think about them. But maybe they should sit back and think before taking part. People should not be having sex just to have it, but because they are in love. The only time premarital sex may be okay is in the boundaries of a loving, trusting relationship. Other wise you will most likely regret it when you get older.
There is so much feeling that goes into being sexually active most teenagers wouldn’t even be able to handle the emotional stress that gets added to the relationship after engaging in intercourse. The person’s self-esteem is at high risk, how will people feel after the relationship ends? It has been prove that “While many people feel guilty for having sex, or feel hurt and used when a relationship ends after they participated in sex with the other person, abstinence affirms self-esteem.” (Affirming self-esteem 1). But then there are the small numbers of people that actually don’t regret abstinence.
There are ways to show the partner in a relationship that there is a lot of love for them without engaging in sexual intercourse. Instead of sex something’s that people chose to do are, go for a walk on the beach, give each other a massage, have a snowball fight, or make dinner together. Touching may be okay as long as you don’t exchange body fluids. Sex is only okay within the boundaries of love, and with out love it just isn’t worth it.
There are so many responsibilities that go along with being sexually active especially when in a relationship. People have to remember that they must remain faithful to the partner; being willing to compromise; standing by the partner, even no matter how difficult it gets which means everyone has to be willing to work things out with one another. The most important is to remember to always no matter what practice safe sex. So many feelings can be hurt if the break up happens after engaging in sex because it is such an intimate experience that people share with the ones they love. (Moe)
Many teenagers also think that sex is a way to gain intimacy but “Genital sex is an expression of intimacy, not the means to intimacy. True intimacy springs from verbal and emotional communion” (Fryling 1).

Interest in the social aspects of obesity is nothing new. Jeffrey Sobal has written extensively about the social and psychological consequences of obesity , including the stigmatisation and discrimination of obese and even overweight individuals (Sobal 2004).
Prosecutors have been slacking on the prosecution of Nazi affiliates for long enough, and it’s time for justice to be served. German laws concerning war crimes have recently taken a change for the better. According to Spiegel, a well respected international source for news world wide, stated that a prior conviction of a Nazi concentration camp guard for the murders of thousands of Jews sparked hope in the search for justice. “Demjanjuk was found guilty by a Munich court and sentenced to five years in jail for being an accessory to the murder of 28,060 Jews while he was a guard at Sobibor in occupied Poland.” According to Kurt Schrimm, a German prosecutor, “the Demjanjuk conviction represented a new interpretation of the law.” Because of Demjanjuk’s conviction, prosecutors no longer need to establish culpability in specific murders to secure a conviction. Being an accomplice to the murders that took place in the Holocaust is now enough to find Oskar Gröning guilty for the countless charges he is being charged with. Therefore, under the German legal system, Gröning is guilty for the act of supporting the Nazi regime’s efforts to extinct the Jews and conquer the European

...ior between couples. They will begin to feel that you do not need love to have sex; and that love in a sexual relationship is a hard find. But they are convinced that sexual intimacy is necessary in their relationships. If and when these relationships break up, it poses large emotional and social problems for future relationships. To prevent this, teaching children early in adolescence to build friendships and stressing the importance of friendship in all relationships will help. Encouraging abstinence is always beneficial, for it will discourage those couples that would normally frequently engage in sexual activity. Also stress that intimate relationships with a significant other are not essential to having a good time. This can help relieve some of the pressure of peers to be in an intimate relationship, especially if the person helping is of similar age.
Identity theft has been around for decades, so it’s nothing new. The only difference now is that the general public and the government are aware of the problem and actively pursuing strategies to combat it. However, identity theft wasn’t always about stealing someone’s credit card information or trying to extort large amounts of cash. It began mostly as a political tool to stuff ballot boxes or used by teenagers to obtain fake ID’s in order to get around laws that prohibited underage people from participating in certain activities such as drinking alcohol. In more recent years however, identity theft has become much more sophisticated and advanced. With the help of computers and advanced technology, identity theft, especially through the electronic world, has become easier and easier for criminals to acquire. (FBI) Most people who engage in the illegal act typically use it for economic gain, essentially to get rich. As any crimes go, identity theft is a nonviolent crime that is relatively easy to conceal which attracts more people to at...
A report published by the U.S Department of Health and Human Accommodations “suggests that as many as 50% of all adolescents are sexually active” (White, 2008, p. 349). A portion of those are puerile women who will become pregnant, adolescent men who will contract a sexually transmitted disease (STD) and teenagers who will suffer from emotional distress and regret. Albeit the majority concurs inculcation is the solution to this dilemma, one q...
The pro argument for saying the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is obsolete is highlighted in the article Prosecute Wal-Mart, but get rid of anti-bribery law by Jeffrey Miron. In this article Jeffrey Miron argues that Foreign Corrupt Practices Act was designed with good intentions but has failed to stop corruption. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act has had a minimal impact on bribes but has allowed the least honest companies to profit. In many countries around the world bribes are a common practice in doing business. Foreign Companies are able to circumvent the law and pay off officials with minimal risk of exposure. This puts pressure on ethical American companies restricted by the FCPA to lower their standards or risk losing business. This discourages American companies from doing business overseas because of threat of prosecution under the FCPA.

In the article, "Society Should Encourage Teens to Postpone Sex Until Marriage," Joseph Perkins argues that in order to avoid unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, teen should be taught to abstain from sex, rather than be taught about condoms and other forms of birth control. Perkins also suggests that, "sexual activity… outside of marriage is likely to have harmful psychological and physical effects." Perkins also points out that since more abstinence-only programs have been introduced, "teen-age pregnancies, abortions, and births have fallen. Perkins sets out in this article to advise adults that if they convey the message that premarital sex is wrong, that teens are more likely to listen.

...ng the kids to dance or soccer class, baking or cooking, mowing the lawn. Its the really little things you do for them that can make the hugest of a difference in the relationship. Showing affection could be as simple as being the person your partner has the most fun with. That doesn’t mean being the person you spend having crazy nights with, and nursing your hangovers together. Its as easy as just being silly with, maybe finger painting. Just spending time together anytime together is showing your affections towards your partner.
According to the Advocates for Youth organization, “sex education is the cause of healthy sexual behavior and results in the decline of teen pregnancy.” This could be because sex education teaches young people about sex from a biological and scientific standpoint. Thus, explaining why teens physically feel a certain way when puberty happens. It answers lingering questions about the b...
