Why is it that teenagers are so eager and anxious to grow up, and be intimate?

As teenagers, we have grown up with the idea of sex being a normal thing at our age. When our friends start, we start to fit in. Not because we really want to grow up, its just an 'in' thing for alot of teenagers.


We see TV/Movies and Magazines that all openly discuss teenage sex and we are pressured to do it so we can feel normal, and that we are at the right stage in our life





:)Why is it that teenagers are so eager and anxious to grow up, and be intimate?
well, if they constrained by the age thing and can't ';be intimate'; with their boy/girlfriend at the age they are now legally, they may be eager to grow up so that they can be the appropriate age and do whatever they want without people always breathing down their necks. they also want to be intimate because their hormones are taking over, and their emotions in that department can become very expressive. for some, intimacy is a way of showing they love someone else...or just relieving the sexual desire that being a teen builds up.Why is it that teenagers are so eager and anxious to grow up, and be intimate?
Why is it that parents are so desperate to keep teenagers as kids?


100 years ago (not even), we married at 18 (or younger), had children by 20. Girls finished school at 13 and helped there mothers at home. Boys of 6 helped there fathers on the farm. What is western sosietys obsession with making teens children? They are eager to grow up and be intimate, because thats how we were made. We were made to be young adults at 16, not big kids.
Because teens think they know everything.Peer pressure play apart just as well as what they watch on TV.They just curious.They don't here anything negative about being intimate besides the diseases and side effects they can get but they never heard that sex is bad everyone likes it to them.And the more you try to talk to them about it the more they want to have it.
I have no idea.





I feel that a lot of teens use the excuse that their hormones are raging and they can't control it, but in my opinion, you can control it. How? Don't put yourself in a tempting situation.





I'm 19 years old, have never had sex, and I've been dating my boyfriend for 10 months. I know it probably sounds weird, since most girls seem to lose their virginity by 16. I've made it this far because I am firm in my beliefs, and my boyfriend feels the same way I do. It makes it easier that way. We don't put ourselves in a situation where it would be easy to have sex.





I mostly feel like it's their parent's fault. Parents think, ';My child is smart enough to not have sex'; and just ignore any signs of any ';teenager-like'; activity. Then they're shocked when their 14 year old comes home and tells that she's pregnant. What did you expect if you've never told your child about sex?!
I have no idea!!





But they need to just chill out and be kids!!





Seriously its way more fun being a kid than being an adult.


Being an adult you have to pay bills and go to work and it sucks. Plus if the kids get pregnant then they really cant have a childhood anymore.





Young kids need to just enjoy being a child....go to the park, and hang out with your friends and quit trying to grow up so quick!





Thats just how I see it though, maybe kids feel pressured to do these things and grow up!

Not all of them are. They also may not want to grow up they just might want to experience intamacy. They are sexual beings too and they have desires just like adults. Don't you remember being a teen. It's rough and everything's changing teens will do what they want the best thing to do is to educate them and be there for them...then they probably won't do stupid things.
i dont know.. i was like that when i was younger and i regret it so much.. i was 4 years old wishin i had boobs and used to put swimming goggles underneath my shirt... when i was 6 years old i used to wear my moms pads because i wanted my period, when i was 9 i wanted my period so bad i used to cry... i dont know why i think its peer preasure or curiousity
I think its because teenagers just want to be able to do what they want. i am 19, i just wish my parents would just pretend i dont exist (can you do this, do that, go there, take that, do this..blah blah blah) its like i just cant be left alone. So..maybe if i try to be grown-up..i will be trusted and left alone to do as i plz. i have myself a job, i got my own cash..i wanna move out and sort myself out..i dont want to be stuck at home for the rest of my life doing what mama wants...maybe im just a wierdo..oh well
we dont like want to to prove anything


we want to because you get those cravings you cant resist x]]


you were a teenager once


think about it





and im anxious to grow up because i dont like being treated


like a 10year old and think i deserve more adult like respect
i wouldnt blame this all on the media.


see, i think all teenagers want to be intimate because of all their hormones. i am a teenager myself. we want to grow up, and have all the freedom and independence that we can get. its just part of life.
Because they feel the need to be loved by people.





Most of the time it's because they're parents aren't around to care about them and they think if they have sex, someone will love them.
im more eager to grow up


get a car.


move out.


get a job.


make a family.





and maybe a few boyfriends along the way.


but i have morals so it's not like i'm going to have sex with all of them.
Media potrays it as normal.
They want to be adults so bad and sex is the one thing they can do to ';be'; an adult.
