– More than 4 in 10 children in the U.S. are now born to unwed mothers (vs. less than 1 in 10 in 1960).

The overall purpose of this all is to always wait until marriage to have any type of sexual intercourse. Because no one can take care of your personal health or mental health like you!
More teens need to be notified of the risks of sex before they proceed in doing so. The reason we are told to wait to have sex is not only because of it’s high risks but also the long-term responsibilities that accompany intercourse. Just becuase one is lucky enough to avoid getting STD’s or pregancy does not guarantee exemption from emotional trauma and violence.
