Underage Sex
Underage sex is a big problem in Britain. Our law states that to have sex, one must be sixteen or older, whether it is homosexual sex, heterosexual sex or bisexual sex. The consequences of underage sex can be stressful, hurtful and demoralising. The teenage youth are largely ignorant about the topic of sex and the repercussions that follow meaning not only do they suffer, but we do too.
Despite campaigns handing out free contraception, many teenagers have sex without protection leaving the girls pregnant. Most young females do not want to have the baby though and so they get an abortion. Lots of these abortions are done via the NHS and all this is draining the NHS’s resources and money which could be used for other things. A couple of decades ago, contraception would need to be bought, however now it is free. Young people should be preventing becoming pregnant with this free protection rather than getting an abortion once they become pregnant. Should the money we pay for our health to be maintained be going towards these troubled teens?
