Premarital Sex. Is it Right or Wrong?

Premarital Sex. Is it Right or Wrong?

Premarital sex has been a matter of controversy for society throughout the years. People have different opinions on that topic, and see it in many different ways. Some people believe that sex is just something that God has given us to enjoy, and that it doesn’t matter whether you decide to be sexually active before or after marriage. Some other people believe the opposite. The popularity of premarital sex has been spread by all the entertainment media our teenagers have access to nowadays. Eight out of ten people have lost their virginity by the age of 20. Love has been reduced to a simple physical act. Long lasting love doesn’t exist for the majority of our young people. 

Many of our adolescents have lost their virginity around the age of 15 because they have been highly exposed to what the entertainment media offers today. Entertainment media displays premarital sex as something that is part of our rights as humans, and they try to make people think that the longer they wait to be sexual active, the most they will be missing. But, the truth is that instead of enjoying something that was created for that purpose, what people bring to their lives is sorrow. That is because people think of love as a simple physical act.

We have turned our culture into one where you can get whatever you want, when you want it. We don’t care how we affect others by our “wantsies”; we just take what we want and have a good time with it. This attitude has become sexual pleasure; Sex was once something a young person had to look forward to. Now, it’s no big thrill because everybody does it! It’s just another activity to do, whenever you want to do it. Sex has become so much a part of a young person’s life that our youth have had to look for something else that could be a new, exciting experience. In understanding this, it is clear to see how many people keep asking over and over again, “How do I know if I’m in love?” How can young people understand what true love is when people keep intertwining sex and love?  How can they be sure if they’re in love when the most intimate part of marriage relationship is just another habit like brushing your teeth? 

Due to the high exposure that teenagers have to sex, it is more and more difficult to find a way to make them understand that being sexually involved with their partners before marriage is something that keeps them away from knowing true and long lasting love. Since they have been persuaded by the idea of the “love test,” they believe that true love doesn’t exist in the moment they have their first relationship failure. That’s one of the reasons why we understand that premarital sex is not the best choice a young person could make.

Looking at these three issues, people losing their virginity by the age of 20, considering love as a simple physical act, and thinking that long lasting love doesn´t exist, we can conclude that sex is something that God has created for us to enjoy it in the blessing of marriage. When people try to do things outside God’s purpose, things end up the wrong way, and instead of bringing blessings they bring suffering to our lives.

Teenagers´ Internet Addiction

                                                 Teenagers´ Internet Addiction

Internet is an excellent tool people can use to make their lives easier. I believe, internet can be useful for many things, such as, getting in touch with old friends and family, giving you access to important information, managing your business, and so on. But, the fact is that people are not using the internet the right way, especially teenagers.

I work at a school as an English teacher, and you cannot imagine the struggles we, teachers, have to deal with every day concerning this peculiar and controversial matter. The authorities of the school have decided to prohibit the usage of cellphones in the classrooms, but students use them anyways. Since they are not supposed to carry or use their cellphones in class, we, teachers, have the authority to take their cellphones away, and to give them back to their parents at the end of the day. However, these methods we have been implementing, haven´t caused any positive reaction in our students.

The moment a teacher takes a cellphone from one of the students, the moment that teacher gets into trouble. It seems like they can´t live without it. Students start misbehaving, stop showing respect, and stop paying attention to the class. Those reactions make me believe that internet is not being used the right way. The problem is that teachers are not the only ones who are supposed to teach students good manners, and that everything in this life has its time. This is something parents should also pay attention to, but instead of trying to correct these attitudes, parents encourage their children to keep portraying them with the lack of interest and attention they pay to them.

Some parents think that the reactions mentioned above are normal because of the age of their children. But, what they don’t know is that if they do not educate their children in this area, they may be raising an addicted and antisocial person.

I made mistake!

The majority of persons, principally the students, are very afraid of making mistakes. They feel that their face fall down when they are wrong. Practices  exercises are less every day because thinking in mistake don´t let them grow up. But made mistake is not bad, it is good for people! principally for student, because it help in different way:  mistake is investigate and look for information; When people made mistake and someone correct them or they notice  that something is illogical they carry out an investigation looking for the books or asking to the others person. Mistake improve our knowledge, when people correct their mistake they get progress in their knowledge and grow their learning, because they get out the doubt. Made mistake means that I am human, everyone that live in this world made mistake; you only don´t do it when you do nothing, I´m sorry!

So, is impossible we don´t make mistake, because mistake and learning go together, we don´t learn without mistake, I wish we didn´t it but we are human.  

Socializing the introvert.

An introvert knows how different it, can be socializing.

Many people prefer to spend their time alone than sharing with large groups.

There are many advantages to being introverted, they are determining, good thinks, listens creative and very knowledgeable about themselves.

Introvets tend to keep information to themselves, this behavior is a mistake for aloofness. Express better in writting than in speech.

Life as an extrovert people love to socializing, they can’t imagine themselves as an introvert. They think partie are a great way to make new friends and enjoy going out to new places.

I’m a litle shy but spect to change completely.
