A Worry Trend among Teenagers

This morning our local radio programmer 93.8 fm in its popular "talk back" show broadcasted an irrational topic. The question was addressing to teenagers’ parents, asking them “at what age, the parents will think their teenagers' sex is acceptable”.

That draws some indignant responses from listeners. One of responders David, the father of four teenagers, said the very topic is wrong for what signal will the radio programmer send to send to mass medium? to condone the premature sex? to promote the so call “precaution” remedies for those who are ruining their soul?

It is really worrying trend. According to last year statistics, 1.5 % teenagers had undergone abortion before the ago of 17. The number is increasing steadily. Many teenagers are accepting sex even before they finish secondary school, what are their parents and teachers doing about?

The root of problem lies on core value and family upbringing. As our traditional value has gone downhill fast and social moral standards are no longer in high ground, one can never expect the society to care and look after his/her well-being. Thus the family plays even more important role, the family is where one’s value system formed and reinforced.

Considering the teenagers sex issue, we, as parents all know the teenager sex should totally avoid, not only the premature sex will destroy the children main occupation on their studies and personal development, but also it may bring unwanted pregnancy, which is heavy social burden for teenager’s mum as well as to the society. Whether you view abortion as act of murder or not, the destructive effects of abortion to the teenager are so confounding and deeply hurting. Further more, the premature sex destroys sanity of marriage and sanity of sex. Which parents will not take total defensive role, if they foresee the destruction of evil befalls to their children?

Therefore, it is total irrational for 93.9fm to discuss on the air, it is the most irresponsible social behavior the organization like Media Cop can take.
