Many people think that by, telling their children the bad things about becoming a teen parent that the child will listen. Well they are wrong. What many people don’t realize is that they are children, and children don’t listen to the bad. Children listen to what they want to hear. If you tell your children the reasons for not becoming a teen mom or dad they might actually listen to you a little more. This that I writing will tell what to say to your kids to make them listen about being abstinent until they get married. Many kids and teens these days think that sex is fun and marriage is over rated. What they don’t know is that sex and marriage belong as one. Teens need to be told in a positive manner that they should only have sex with the man/woman they marry. Then after the marriage is legal they go on a honeymoon and have all the fun they want with their partner. Sex is not something that you just do with anyone, you never know who they have already been with. If a teen thinks they are ready to be a parent then let them be one for a week and see how they like it afterward. You should ask one of your friends who has a new born baby or toddler to borrow their child for week to teach your teen a lesson. Most of the time they will oblige and let you have them. I would always say that if you can’t handle a week with a baby how are you gonna handle 18 years? This usually works but not always. There are positive ways to teach them the safety of sex and how to be safe. For example, abstinence is the best birth control after all if you’re not doing it how are you going to get pregnant? One of the best things to tell a teen is save yourself for the honeymoon, and make it more memorable than anyone ever could otherwise. If you safe yourself for your husband or wife then you know that when the time comes you will be even more in love with that person than on your wedding day. This is one of the best ways to never get an STD or STI.
