LOSING VIRGINITY AT EARLY AGE- A CONCERNDay by day in this very increasing modern world new studies are revealed and the statistics are being revised. Experts now say that increased sex education and callous attitude of parents has eventually helped in bringing down the average of losing virginity among the youth at early age. There are many reasons for it such as declining puberty age i.e. for girls it is 9-10 years and for boys 10-11 years.

The parents’ uninterested attitude forces a child to find support and look for alternatives such as sex for stress. Attraction among the opposite sex is natural, but nowadays teenagers take all in the stride of fun. It is also seen that that intake of alcohol and peer pressure group is another major reason in teenagers which lowers down the average of losing virginity to 17 years.

From timesofindia.indiatimes.com:

Studies have revealed that children, these days, are losing their virginity at a very young age. Experts say that with the average age of puberty going down to 9-10 years for girls and 10-11 years for boys, the average age for losing virginity too is going down. And the deadly paring with this is — awareness about sex is more these days and information (not always from the right sources) is freely available. Television, movies and most prominently the Internet is loaded with extremely easily accessible information and graphic details. This, most of the time, helps to entice the youngsters to experiment, who already have hormones raging through them.

To tackle with all the complications, lower maturity level of children and its consequences should be dealt by regular counseling actions along with parents. The teenagers should be taken seriously and must be made aware of the good and the bad consequences. Children need to know that sex is just not a physical attribute but a gift in a relationship which should be taken seriously and mere not a fun.

Also, teenagers need to understand that saying no to losing virginity at young age is not a sin. It must be taken seriously and one should know the limits.

Drunk Teenager Stole Fire Engine In AustraliaAlcohol is drug that works directly on the central nervous system. About 3 million violent crimes occur each year worldwide in which victims perceive the offender to have been drinking at the time of the offense. Young people now are being exposed to alcohol and drugs at an early age.

A drunken teenager in Australia stole a 14-tonne fire engine and activated the emergency lights before eventually being pulled over in the NSW Blue Mountains.

From yahoo.com:

Sydney, July 24 (IANS) An intoxicated 16-year-old boy broke into a fire station in an Australian town and drove off with a fire engine, police said Saturday.

Police said the teenager broke into the fire station at Lithgow, 143 km from Sydney, and stole a 14-tonne fire truck at about 11.45 p.m. Friday, the Daily Telegraph reported.

He also activated the emergency lights and drove off to the Blue Mountains area near Sydney. He was pulled over by police a short time later and was breath-tested, which returned a positive reading of the presence of alcohol.

The teenager was issued a court notice for novice-range drink driving and will also be dealt with for the offences relating to breaking into the fire station and stealing the fire truck, police said.

Alcohol apparently may increase the risk of violent behavior for certain teenagers which may put themselves at risk for obvious problems with the law (it’s illegal; one can get arrested).
