More Girls under 14 having sex

IT IS a sign of the times - More girls aged below 14 are having sex - report The Straits Times newspaper of Singapore.

One in three female secondary school students who took part in a Universiti Malaya study a decade ago admitted they were sexually active.

"If that was a decade ago, imagine what it would be like today" child psychology researcher Datuk Dr Chiam Heng Keng told the New Sunday Times at the Sarawak Women's Bureau seminar on "Training our Children on Personel Safety".

She said the study found that some had sex for pleasure, but most prostituted themselves for the money to buy expensive goods. It gives them [the girls] the feeling 'I'm very cool because my friends are doing it' and it must be right because everyone is doing it.

Sex has a part to play in everybody's life, but let us not be obsessed by it. Let us weave sex intelligently into our family lives. Let us understand our emotions, let us try and control our sexual urges until we are ready to meet the responsibilities which go with them. Sexual laxity is nothing to be proud of, and, furthermore, is associated with certain risks, among which pregnancy and venereal infection rank foremost.

According to Datuk Dr Nor Ashikin Mokhtar, a senior consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist, because of engaging in sex with multiple partners early in life, more women [in their 30s] are diagnosed with cervical cancer.

We are to practice and pursue sexual relations in holiness and honour (each one of you [is to]) know how to control his own body as recorded in 1 Thessalonians 4:4.

1 Corinthians 10:31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

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.
