Hello Fellow Youth Bloggers!
This is but a friendly post-Valentine update from Kabataan Watch.
It is so sad to know that 20 percent of Filipino youth engage in pre-marital sex,with ages ranging only from 15-18.What is more alarming is the fact that these young individuals do not use contraceptives to protect themselves ans thus,unwanted pregnancy comes in just like a mushroom on a very loamy soil.And to tell you honestly,Curiosity is not anymore the culprit but the liberated idea that young individuals are so much aware of the things happening around and the fallacy that they are socially responsible of their actions.
If I would stress out my opinion about this cancer-like epidemic,It would be summarized in three key points:(1)The role of the family to educate the youth about values should be strengthened,(2)Our academic institutions should serve as support arms in promoting sensitivity for the youth's sexual issues and (3)It is but time to promote a comprehensive understanding on high risk behaviors among the youth to address enough solutions to counter further dangers that will possibly arise in no time!
