Teenagers, living as husband and wife
By Hernor De Asis
Teenagers in San Carlos City are now sexually inclined to their opposite sexes (some same-sexes). Yes, indeed! I’m not giving a direct judgment here, this is how I see youngsters these days. I just want to be blunt to open the eyes of every parent who failed to reprimand their children. Why I can say so? Well, the answers lie everywhere, try to look at your surroundings and open your senses. It may sound like a cliché, since we can read articles on magazines, news clippings or even in the internet about teens engaging premarital sex. My point isn’t about giving details on fornication (typically refers to consensual sexual intercourse between two people not married to each other) but to ask the Sancarlosenios, “Are we that liberated?”, or it is just that we are easily influenced by western trends of having free love.
Being a pre-service teacher, I witnessed elementary pupils from ages 10 to 13 having boyfriends and girlfriends already (during my field studies), and here’s the most deplorable revelations they were collecting numbers of relationships, from instant break-ups and acquiring new ones. To take note, the process usually happens on a week or two. Puppy love is a good thing, and very common. But engaging in a relationship at young age must be given strict supervision and guidance by parents or shouldn’t be allowed in the first place. Yes, why not? Love waits, so is time! Those kids are having illusions about love. Influenced by the people around them (sa mata ng bata, ang maling halimbawa ay nagiging tama) , or through the tactless actions of their older brothers and sisters, or even their parents (psychologists also state that having a broken family sparked the desire for youngsters to commit love) and sometimes peer pressure. They just want to brag it out to their peers.
A funny dialogue about a conceited friend!
Dodong1: “Bai, nagkauyab na jud me ni Inday Jane bai.” (Nanghimuta while talking!)
Dodong2: “Abe nako, kamo ni Inday Trisha?” (Gisip-on while talking!)
Dodong1: “Way lami, katext! Maong akong gibulagan!” (Ningkusog ang hangin, lagpot si Dodong2)
Nakarecover na sa palid si Dodong2…
Dodong2: “Ikaw na jud bai! Kinsa na pud kaha ang imong sunod nga uyab bai? (Tani ako na lang)”.
(NRWP: “Hahaha, hopia diay si Dodong2!”)
Texting (the most common), social media, browsing the internet and accessing websites with sexually explicit content or pornographies are also the factors of acquiring relationships prematurely. If this kind of moral evolution may not be given instant actions, it may result to grave regrets and afflictions.
Now let us focus on high school students, I don’t want to beat around the bush, in the sense that, this is the main reason why I’m writing this article. Most girls in high school had already given their selves to their beaus (boyfriends). I would like to quote most mother’s advice to their daughters, “Anak, huwag na huwag mong isuko kaagad ang Bataan! Dapat mabasbasan ka muna ng Maykapal!” (Visualizing Nora Aunor delivering the quote!) Anyway, I think we should stop using words that are so profound for giving advices, tell it directly to avoid misunderstanding and remember that teenagers nowadays are straightforward.
The importance of virginity is given least priority by some boys and girls exercising habitual, sexual intercourse. Resulting to teenage pregnancy, abortions and worst the sexually-transmitted diseases! I’m not playing as a good saint here, I just want to open the eye of every parent, who failed to be a doting one.
It so shocking that some teens, were having these abortion pills to eliminate unwanted babies. I thought pharmacies were strict on giving these medicines to customers but how they can have instant access (monkey business) ?
Teenagers should stop treating sugarcane fields, riverbanks, and dim parks as motels since San Carlos City’s public and natural places existed for hanging out and not hooking up!
Always guard, your unguarded moments!
