About Myself

Life to me is a process of living with obstacles to learn and overcome, and climax to enjoy.
Appreciation & Humbleness, are values I'm still learning.
Keep in mind: The sea may be calm, but chaos runs within.
Through transitions, I've became what I am today.

I was reading this article in the Straits Times.. it's about Contraception.. And while reading it, i found this housewife talking about the prduct of the Coin purse, which MTV Asia and The Body Shop are promoting.. SHe said, " i'm not comfortable with a product like that because it seems to suggest that it's ok to have sex, and it evens makes the teen easier to do so." i thought, if her son wants to have sex with his girlfriend.. would she rather he have sex with a condom? or he have sex without any protection?
and then again, there's this 16 year old guy.. saying that, "at this age, we shouldnt even be having sex. It's illegal." like hello? under Singapore's law, 16 is a legal age of having sex already.. i'm not saying that anyone should, but he's having the wrong info!!
and again, there's thismanager of the Tent, a girls's home, saying that, " a lot of inquiries that I get from parents show that they are in denial about sexual activities of their shildren. They believe that as long as they have not taught them about the birds and the bees, their children will have no knowledge how to do it." HELLO, PARENTS!! call yourself parents again.. Do you not know wat is called, "PEER PRESSURE?" or maybe, "INTERNET?" let mi tell you, the Term PEER PRESSURE is pressure from people around your children.. those people are their so-called Friends. and the term Internet? is a place where people can find from a worldwide website in the computer. and in this Internet, there is this kinda website called, PORNOGRAPHY website!! do you teens not know how to surf the net? when it's like very popular now. The school'd teaching them how to surf the net to find info. and the government is somehow promoting people to be more Computer literate!! your teens can learn from the society now. and it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to keep them at home throughout their LIFETIME!!
I personally think that, the teens going to the sexual courses which the school provide, is getting ineffective. and because i'm a student, and i've gone through these courses, the videos that i've seen , namely, " Sense and Sexuality ", is unrealistic and ridiculous!! they are all talking about how they are remourseful about losing their Virginity and everything.. That it jus seems SO FAKE!! it's like placing a piece of paper in front of them and asking them to read from it. how effective is that man? Teens will do it all the same. The more you ask them to not do something the more they will.. say their not rebellious. but the will also.. because parents always say, "DUn DO IT. Or else...." Or else wat? As if your teen will go straight to you and say, " HEy Dad, Hey Mum! I did it with my girlfriend/ boyfriend!!" like wat the hell!! teens wont stoop to that level of stupidity can? teens will do it discreetly la. Teens nowadays dun see the value of their virginity like how they used to see it before. with the media and `and the Internet, that is already feeding the teens with countless images and stories bout sex. how is it so, to inculcate your values to the students when they are already influenced through media and Internet?
Schools should strive to be more open to the Youths about issues rather than dictate wat teens should or should not do. and schools should also provide the teens to hotlines that will help them, when they get into some sexual crisis, like getting pregnant. and schools should actually incorporate more messages about safe sex and preventing preganancy, rather than jus stopping at Abstinence.
