But they are not they are too young to know experience that feeling from someone of the other gender. Also they are too young to commit. Teenagers never realize that they have so much ahead of them and that things change. You are also not to engage in activity with a neighbor's wife. As one of the commandment states "Thou shall not commit adultery." The church believes sexual intercourse is a special and scared activity that should be shared by two people that are in love- physically, emotionally, and spiritually in order to create a family. They two as married couple shouldn't do it for the wrong reasons, such as for their pleasures or well being. Teenagers live in their own little world and don't look ahead in the future and cause them to get in serious problems that they can't very easily out of. There are many consequences that come with being a young parent that teenagers don't think about. In book written by Patricia Trouphy she stated these important consequences that come about:.
• Worry about pregnancy and AIDS.
• Regret and self-recrimination.
• Guilt.
• Loss of self-respect and self-esteem.
• The corruption of character and the debasement of sex.
• Shaken trust and fear of commitment.
• Rage over betrayal.
• Depression and suicide .
• Ruined relationships.
• Stunting personal development.
(U.S. Catholic, vol. 61 p32-34).
Before you engage in anything you have to be sure of what you are doing. If they feel a strong need to engage in the kind of behave there are alternatives to help prevent pregnancy and disease. .
Although the church doesn't believe in contercepatives, it is better for these teenagers to be thought about them and let them use them so that they don't get pregnant or get incurable disease. The church feels that every child needs to grow in a household full of love and should be cared by two parents, a male and female, in order to become fully human.
