Welcome to Gaia! ::

I was inspired to make a thread like this after the rant thread in the Gaian Parents Guild. If you're pissed off in general, or about something related to young teens having sex, etc, then please post it here. If you see a thread on Gaia that angers you, feel free to post a link so the other members of the guild can go look too. 3nodding (yes the GPG has their rant thread set up like that, too)

Just have some consideration in your flaming/ranting, and please try not to offend the other members of this guild. Thanks! heart
Edit: In light of recent events (which I do apologize for sad ) there is to be no name-calling in the thread, and all discussions/debates are to be kept friendly, and kept inside this thread. I haven't seen a problem with that yet, you guys have been great about that, but I wanted to mention it just in case.

Oh and if you start ranting in another thread, I'll move the post to this thread. So if your angry post disappears from another thread, check this thread. xd

A huge thank you to everyone for putting up with me and this guild, you guys are fantastic. 4laugh heart

Children having sex is bad. It sucks. Grow up before you pretend you're an adult.

My rant....
Teens who TRY and get pregnant! One of my friends decided that she wanted a baby (at only 15), so she went off her birth control, and got preggers. She is something like 29 weeks now... and thinks that everything is going to be given to her for free. Its expensive!! I havent had my baby yet and im already in debt trying to get everything that i need.
(my baby wasnt planned by the way, but i still love him to bits)

Yea, but at least they're forced to be independant and most likely have lived on their own at one point or another. These are children who have babies, who then in turn have their parents raise yet another kid.

I'd still say you're a little young to be having sex, but I'm glad you can see that not all generalizations are true. smile
And still, relationships can still end even after you've been together for as long as a year and a half. Plus you have high school to go through, graduation, post-secondary education, etc. I'm not saying you can't go through all those things together, I'm just saying many relationships tend to change as people get older.
I hope you and your bf stay together though. 3nodding

My ex and I grew up as friends, and ended up dating when we were both 16. We took each other's virginity, and were very happy together. However with some events that tend to occur as people get older (dealing with stress from college, family members dying, etc), he got depressed and suicidal and couldn't cope with my constant asking to spend time with me (he'd pushed me out of his life by this point). He broke up with me in March of this year, just short of our 2 year 4 month anniversary. However like you, I have no regrets about having sex with him or losing my virginity to him, etc.

Not trying to discourage you, just using my life as an example of how things can change/end, even when you don't expect them to.

Glad you had a good experience. You're still 14. Keep your legs shut.

14. Christ. Just hit ******** puberty. UGGGGGH. CRINGE TIME FOR BE.

You may feel responsible and yea, you had a good experience, but congrats - you're one case out of a million. The majority is what matters in these sorts of situation, not the random few people who pop out of the woodwork who are like "OH WELL BUT I AM HAPPY!". Sure, it's nice you have a great story, but more don't. This is the problem. You don't have a problem, which is good. smile

And a year and a half? I dated my boyfriend 2 years before doing anything with him. Shrug. I'm not a prude, but I didn't want to either lose my virginity too young, or not really know him well enough to lose it to him.

*pokes* Down BE, easy now. I don't want any flamewars starting. sweatdrop whee

I'm glad she doesn't have a problem with her bf right now, and hopefully things will stay that way. smile

I waited a little over a year to have sex with my ex, but that was because of our overprotective parents. Again, just personal choice though.

No it's fine. Offensive posts can go here, I just don't want flamewars between people starting up.
And yes if offensive posts are posted in other threads, I will move them to this one, but that hasn't happened yet, so no worries. smile
