ST Reflection (Week 1)

Article: “Sharp rise in girls under 16 having sex”

Question 1-
State any two reasons mentioned in the article which contributes to the sharp rise in girls under 16 having sex.

There are quite a number of reasons that contribute to the sharp rise in girls under 16 having sex. One of the most important reason is due to the desire for a closer connection with their boyfriend.

Another main reason would be the pressure by their boyfriends into giving themselves.

Question 2-
What are some of your reactions after reading this article? If one day, a close friend of yours confess to you that he/she has been engaging in sex, what would your advice to him/her be?


This article as rather shocking as the i did not expect such a large number of teens been engaged in sex.This shows how much the teens now are influenced by friends and television programs like gossip girls.However, having sex with the "loved" once is the 'in' thing nowadays.

If my friend ever confesses to me, i would most probably ask her to consult a counsellor and advice her to break up with her boy friend if she is been pressurised by her boyfriend. If she is willing to do it, i would ask her to think TWICE.
