Jess · September 11, 2013, 00:43

verdandi · September 11, 2013, 00:45

I'm not usually bored. I have ADD so I keep multiple things going at once. If I get bored it's probably because I'm sick or really stressed so I just watch Netflix.

Last week, to get over stress, I watched the first two seasons of Pretty Little Liars. Yep, that's 44ish episodes (at 45-minutes long each) in one week. But I did other stuff while watching it.

Jess · September 11, 2013, 01:00

oh my i love that show dandi!

Thefallenangel3 · September 11, 2013, 01:21

Jess · October 14, 2013, 22:06

i know right i dont like MTV

Angel~ · October 15, 2013, 04:32

From what I've seen of it, it's all about teen pregnancies and stuff like that -.-

Jess · October 15, 2013, 17:51

mostly that is all they show and people here wonder why 90 percent of 15 to 21 year old are PG or have had a baby

Angel~ · October 16, 2013, 02:15

You're kidding right?

Jess · October 16, 2013, 19:12

no i had to do a report paper on it and in halifax country 90 to 95 percent of 15 to 21 years old are PG or have had a baby

85 to 90 percent of 15 to 21 years old have some kind of STD, HIV, or AIDS

Angel~ · October 17, 2013, 02:04

Oh my, that is so different here...

Jess · October 17, 2013, 15:50

it is?

Angel~ · October 18, 2013, 04:53

QuoteThe Netherlands has a low rate of births and abortions among teenagers (5 births per 1,000 women aged 15–19 in 2002[5]). Compared to countries with higher teenage birth rates, the Dutch have a higher average age at first intercourse and increased levels of contraceptive use (including the "double Dutch" method of using both a hormonal contraception method and a condom[citation needed])

Seems like the teens in my country are more careful? Maybe better sex ed? I've heard that in the USA they hardly give any?

Jess · October 18, 2013, 22:14

that's true

Angel~ · October 19, 2013, 06:28

I feel that making it more publicly known, decreases pregnancies and so on.

Jess · October 20, 2013, 21:30

that's true but where i live sex ed. is a teacher saying do not have sex and if u do u will die!

Angel~ · October 21, 2013, 07:20

You must be shitting me. We had to research STD's and contraceptives and then make a poster out of it... And present it to the rest of the class.

Jess · October 21, 2013, 20:12

nope im not kidding i live in a bible belt state, so a lot of things we learn is very church like, as my sister says. the state says something like if it is not in the bible don't teach it and dont explain things that r not even if the children have a question about it.

So, by my state higher up people: being gay is wrong, having sex before marrage makes u a whore and u will die, getting a divorce is a bad thing and it means u r an outcast, and so on like this.

Angel~ · October 22, 2013, 03:21

But if having sex before marriage makes you a whore, why do you have so many teen pregnancies?

`Roze` · October 22, 2013, 10:38

^ I don't think that goes for the entire United States.

http://www.hhs.gov/ash/oah/adolescent-health-topics/reproductive-health/teen-pregnancy/trends.html

This here says that there is 29.4 births for every 1,000 adolescent females ages 15-19. Which would be about 2.9%.

Then 17% of births 15-19 were to females who already had a baby.

So I don't know where you got your numbers Jess, but teenage pregnancy is not THAT common.

It is still fairly high (a lot higher then other countries.) but not 90% of teenagers have babies...

I know we were given basic Sex. Ed. but my mom did a lot more of it. She fully explained and all that jazz to me. We had more learning about what happens during puberty.

Should it really be up to the school to provide Sex. Ed. though? Or should it be the parents thing? I know the reason they don't have it around anymore is because parents were getting upset about it. My mom had her first kid at 15 because some boy pressured her into having sex with him and she had never even HEARD of condoms let alone other preventative measures. Where as my step-dad is 10 years older then her and his dad explained to him about different measures as well as he learned about it in school. So can you see the difference there? I think a lot of schools now are relying on parents to teach their kids Sex Ed.

Angel~ · October 22, 2013, 14:16

I think it is a bad thing that schools move the responsibility to the parents. I would feel super awkward if I had to explain it to my 'future' kids. We do discuss it at home of course, but I'm glad I learned it in school instead of having to have the awkward 'talk' with the parents.
(I didn't actually learn it all from the teachers. Sex was and is a very common topic of discussion. I think somewhere around 14 or something people were already discussing it, so I picked up on it)

It is also a responsibility of the government, because in The Netherlands all the people pay taxes for the health care system. If teenagers started having babies all over the place it would cost enormous amounts of tax money! I know this doesn't apply in the US, but it is something to consider.

Mass education of the teens is a good thing. That way you can be certain that they know how they can do it safe and what the consequences are if they don't. I mean, you don't really have to get pregnant (if you're lucky) but all those STD's that are out there are also wise to consider before getting into it unprotected.

I'm lucky with an older sister who can explain it into detail for me whenever I have questions. She asked my mom I think, so family is an important factor, no doubt, but I feel that the school should at least provide basic sex education about the risks and the contraceptives. 14 year olds are mature enough to understand it.

Jess · October 22, 2013, 22:27

Roze, i had to do a paper on the county i live in for school, so i got my information from the county court house and it is really common here. my sister and i are outcast in our age groups.

my mom gave me all "the talks" when i was 8 years old, which i think is too young and my sister is 15 getting ready to turn 16 and my mom has not gave her any of "the talks". she just tells us the boys r bad news and they are all kidnappers, rapist, and murders. then she gets mad because we do not go out or have any friends, boyfriends, and so on.

Angel~ · October 23, 2013, 03:57

Wow. Your mom is a total hypocrite! I agree with you, 8 is way too young! Did you give your sister the 'talk' then? She should be well-prepared.

Pau · October 23, 2013, 09:10

U should b4 ur mom does, i think ur mother mighr give ur sis d wrong ompeession is she does d talking.
In our country. We hav sex ed in high school and famoly planning in college.

Angel~ · October 23, 2013, 09:15

Family planning? What does that mean?

Pau · October 23, 2013, 09:31

Its a subject dats teaches about contraceptives, safe days, etc... u know as d words imply, its a subject on making ur own family.

Angel~ · October 23, 2013, 09:32

Ahhh, okay. Interesting.

Jess · October 23, 2013, 23:37

family planning is a new one for me

i did give my sister the "talk" on sunday b/c my mom went crazy on my sister saying she shouldnt hug boys and if she did that they would rape and murder her. so my sister thought that she should not touch anybody b/c she would get murder, so i had to get that straight and to do that i had to give her the "talk", where she could understand everything.

i was trying to wait and give my sister the "talk" when she stopped thinking boys had cooties but my mom messed that up for me

Angel~ · October 24, 2013, 02:31

Well at least she is sorta prepared now.

Jess · October 24, 2013, 21:31

well i think she is more freaked out than any thing, b/c the whole boys have cooties is kind of true

Angel~ · October 25, 2013, 04:56

Oh my, she shouldn't be afraid...

`Roze` · October 25, 2013, 10:34

Boys don't have "cooties" there is no such thing. =.=; And it's just as common for girls to have STI's then boys. [As what I think by "cooties" you are referring to STI's]

You're mom married your dad, I'm assuming. Did he rape and murder her? How does she expect you guys to find your husbands if you think all guys are going to murder and rape you?

Not all guys are out for sex -- or to kill you. Actually most guys are NOT going to kill you. I'm friends with many guys and they're all decent, respectful gentleman. As long as you wait for the right guy and don't jump in to a relationship and only have monogamous relationships you're not going to catch STI's.

I've been with my boyfriend almost 5 years and we've lived together for a year and a half and I still live to tell the tale. I was 15 and he was 21 when we met. We didn't do anything ~sexual~ until I was 18. My mom freaked out at first because "all 21 one year olds are after sex." but he wasn't. Once she met him and of course had a "motherly" talk with him she started to realize not all guys are after sex.

He was also raised in a fairly religious household. So if you're area is as religious as you claim, why aren't the sons of these people being taught to respect a lady, sex after marriage, etc? Obviously if girls are getting raped and murdered all the time and is such a common thing then there's something wrong with the way these religious parents are teaching their sons.

Angel~ · October 26, 2013, 05:48

I agree with Roze, I too have quite some guy friends and we hang out and simply have fun. I don't see where your mother gets those ideas about boys. Like she hasn't been young.

`Roze` · October 28, 2013, 12:04

Yeah Angel xP

Back on Topic though.

When I'm bored I have the urge to eat/snack on stuff.

Angel~ · October 28, 2013, 13:16

ugh, I have that too! It's annoying really, kills my diet.

Jess · October 28, 2013, 21:45

@Roze my mom wants my sister and me to be her slaves forever, so she makes up stories so we stay home

I think I eat more when I do homework any time of the day

Angel~ · October 29, 2013, 15:09

I really can't believe your mom! The sooner you get out of there, the better.

I actually never eat during homework, it takes away my concentration.

Jess · October 29, 2013, 22:58

i probably will never leave here

idk why i eat where i do my homework i guess because i sit down for 8 hours or more just doing homework

Pau · October 30, 2013, 04:51

my brother does that. in fact, he cant answer hes test/homework etc.. without eating. thats why my mom would pack him chips, crackers, and other foods when he has a test.

Angel~ · October 30, 2013, 17:00

That's kinda... strange?

Jess · October 30, 2013, 22:21

well im not that bad but that is a little strange

Pau · October 31, 2013, 06:26

Strange but true. It was already proven on the time when we didnt lacked him snacks on his test once. Same on the second and third 0-0

`Roze` · October 31, 2013, 10:52

The teachers let him eating during test?

I wish my teachers let me do that.

I do better on my homework if I can have some type of background noise[music, tv show, etc]. But I can't read a textbook if people are talking around me.

I'm usually not too bored lately as I find ways to entertain myself. I've been working on manga almost every second I have this last week.

Angel~ · October 31, 2013, 11:56

I have found that PRing stuff is a great way to procrastinate from all the RL affairs.

Jess · October 31, 2013, 21:10

i have been sleeping when i get bored lately because i go for days without sleep at all then i will get a 30 minute nap in and i am good to go lol

Angel~ · November 02, 2013, 04:54

That's not really healthy...

`Shally. · November 04, 2013, 10:20

Yes, I'm ALWAYS bored. I'm easily entertained but I'm also easily to get bored afterwards. xD

Angel~ · November 04, 2013, 14:50

I wish I wouldn't unleash my boredom on the forum...
