If you've diffulty figuring out what the last word is, it clearly signals you're too young to even think about...SEX. Let alone get yourself involved in it.
I woke up on the morning of 5 Aug to a bizarre front page article of the Straits Times. The 4 words above flashed in my head like the emergency lights on a moving ambulance. How could this happen in our (once) conservative Asian society? Easy, blame the unruly effects of modern media. Or maybe, the lack of parental control. Worst still, sex education-gone-wrong! Whichever the case, the situation is getting out of hand. No thanks, kiddies, for your attempt at trying to boost our nation's population (with unwanted pregnancy). You have a whole future ahead of you to plan for. What's the hurry for sex anyway?
Everyone goes through the period of raging hormones and curiosity for experimentation. But to take that curiosity all the way is simply killing the cat. Picture yourself having to support a child before you even know what CPF stands for. If you irresponsibly say abortion is the easiest way out, bear the lifetime guilt of killing an innocent being conceived through your own selfish and brainless act. What about the awful effects of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and the loss of a coveted crown (virginity) to a random person that you would unlikely marry? If you're a believer in God, how does incurring His wrath sound to you?
"Well, everyone is doing it. What's the fuss?".
The fuss is, do you want to be EVERYONE? Can you not be that someone who is special, smart, discerning and precious. Reserve it 'til after marriage, easy does it.
When that coveted crown is gone prematurely and voluntarily, it is regretfully gone for good. And how would you feel afterwards? Stupid.

I kinda agree with you. 2 years ago while I was in the Police Force, I had to take a statement of this young teenager at a abortion ward. To my disgust and shocked, to see more than 16 teenagers in that ward going through post abortion treatment. In my eyes, they were just kids who would be out there doing well in school. Don't you think schools should do trips to that kind of place.. see what I see..
yes, agree. an eye opener is what's needed. the worry is, such things (abortion, pre-marital sex) might have been normalised by peers. i understand teenagers these days draw "knowledge" from their social circle, starkly missing an adult figure to guide them. but then again, adults are misbehaving too...
