This week in class we had gone over sex. This is a topic I don't enjoy very much. The media uses it too much in my opinion and it isn't portrayed in a truthful manner. Sex is something that changed my parents life. Choosing to have sex before they had been married led to me being born. This would lead to them being married and then a short amount of time later they were divorced and then my life would be forever changed. Sex is seen as romantic and without consequence nowadays. It is not. It can lead to many horrible things if not done in the correct time. When you see an attractive person your first thought shouldn't be "I would have sex with that person." Sex is a huge step. It means you are fully committed to that person and if you can't make that commitment you shouldn't be doing it. I know just how severe the consequences can be if you have sex when you probably shouldn't have. Don't only think of yourself when you're making these decisions. Think of how it will affect the other person. If they become attached to you then you have ruined their life when you leave them. Sex a the wrong time is a selfish decision, one that can ruin many lives.
