Sexploits of Teens

Metro Ahad reported that a group of Muslim tudung-clad girls were not ashamed to say they were no longer virgins, which some admitting they became pregnant at 15. Some even said they lost their virginity at the age of 10, while others claimed they had multiple sex partners. They also told Metro Ahad they would ostracise schoolmate who were still virgins.
A 15-year-old from Johor told the paper she first had sex with her boyfriend when in Year Five and was now 'addicted to sex'. When she was in Form Three she started changing partners, and have done it with two guys at once.
Another 15-year-old girl from Selangor told the paper the term 'pure' or virgin did not exist between her friends and her. What is wrong if my friends and I want some fun and have sex while we are still young ? she told the tabloid. [The Star , Jan 5]

Hey, parents, isn't it time we took a serious look at ourselves and did something to overcome this problem ? We should be the one to teach our children that they are human beings with dignity and self-respect and not mere sex objects.

When God created the human race, He made man and woman according to His own perfect plan. God wants us to respect the body that He has given to us and for us to treat it in a way that will honor Him. Don't say that you can't control your desires. God has given us a spirit that makes us different from the animals. We don't have to be a slave to our feelings. We are to keep our body clean both physically and morally for three reasons :-
For God to live in us
For the sake of our family
For the sake of our health

1 Corinthians 6 : 19 - Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

1 Thessalonians 4 : 3-5 It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God.

Romans 12 : 1-2 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
