You know the whole thing about it being disgusting at being in love at a young age? Well its only made disgusting by our society, how it happens and what it causes. Formerly, before modern society, it wasn't disgusting, it was normal.

Also we had a whole abstinence thing in Health class in school. Really I hated it. It takes so  much about modern society. What is assumed. For these things, like if you were gay, or if you didn't want to get married, you didn't believe in the ceremony, it was assuming that nobody would do these things. It doesn't take in circumstances either. Really, close to nobody actually ends up doing it, they break down or they are really in love, even if they aren't married. Also, if you don't live with someone before you are married, for all you know, you could end up getting really annoyed by them.

<_< I expect someone to yell at me for this, but this is true, I have two parents that have gone through this, and three brothers and they would agree with this.

I never said it was disgusting to be in love at this age; I'm totally okay with that. And yes, sex was normal back in the old days amongst 14-15 year olds, probably younger as well, but... the lifespan for people back then was significantly shorter. So, if you didn't start raising kids at 14-15, your genes wouldn't reach the next generation, and your family name would die out.

I'm more worried about how unhealthy it is to have a child at a young age; I don't want people throwing their lives down the drain because of a foolish mistake. I've seen 12 year old moms, and it makes me gag; they threw a perfectly fine life down the drain, and the child probably would be sickly anyways; the mothers are busy trying to grow themselves, let alone support another.

I'm okay with pre-marital sex, I just want people to understand the importance of condoms so they won't throw their life away. I don't think that a 12 year old and child deserve to suffer because of a mistake they will come to rue many years later.

Abstinence programs are lame, they seem to think that condoms break every time, and that they don't protect you from any STD's. "You're partner's trying to hurt you by giving you HIV on purpose!" Or those dumb demonstrations where they give four people a card, and they all get some dumb circumstance; "she was underage" or "they have AIDS" or something.

I mean, what if ___ was raped, got an STD, and wanted someone to love? Pfft, they don't deserve love, they have AIDS.

...Sorry for the rant. .w. I hate abstinence programs, though.

Most of the time, if a someone has a child at a young age, they usually wind up giving it up for adoption. My friend was adopted when she was about two months old and she was assuming that her parents where young teens that couldn't take care of her. I'm not saying I hate abstinence or teen love, it's just I don't want to touch that mess with a 60 foot pole until I'm out of college and old enough for it.

A lot of states don't allow true sex-ed, because allegedly, it's too 'controversial' and we're trying to 'protect' the students. WTF dude? You're trying to protect a kid by simply telling them not to have sex, providing almost NO information on what actually goes on, and instead misleading due to 'faith' and 'religious' 'values'? Yeah, REALLY smart.

I don't dissagree with that whole throwing your life down the drain thing, I just don't blame the parent, because in most cases, especially the youngest ones, its a rape. And also, they shouldn't be forced to throw their lives down the drain for love, or lose them because of an incident, its usually not their fault, yet they lose their life, because our society does not have any system to help them or even allow them to survive.

<_< >_> /rant

Umm... to stay on topic... Do you guys(and girls) feel blonde hair more attractive as it was originally, I do, but I'm not sure about everyone else.

Vaati

I'll get back ontopic after this.

Also, they have those shots for girls (maybe boys too) so they won't get STD or something like that. And parents aren't wanting to give it to their children because it will "encourage them to have sex." ... ??? WTH? How do you know they aren't doing it already!? It's better to be safe than sorry! You don't even have t tell them it's for that, just lie and say it's a flu shot or something.

Anyway, we're getting WAY offtopic. Let's just get back to attractiveness in people and stop talking about this, it's making me sick.  :-*

Highlilghts? Highlights are very ugly. Natural hair color is so much better, mainly because it doesn't look so artificial.

Vaati

I agree. Girls at my schoolhighlight their hair all the time, I can't believe they think it will get them boys! That and tans. My friend, Megan was saying how I'm so pale, and I need to get a tan, and that people will think I'm a freak becaus I won't have a tan.

I kept telling her, I don't get tan, I get sunburned. It's not in my genes to get tan. I'm Irish, Polish, and German and none of them are tan. Plus, it's dangerous to get a tan and risk getting skin cancer, so yeah...

I prefer black hair, pale skin, and dark eyes.

darkphantomime

I'm the whitest person I know, and I don't mean that in a racist context. I could use with some color though. I'm THAT pale.

Vaati

All European decent too, huh?
The only tan person in my family is my cousin, Anna, and she's Jewish.

Bboy94

Not highlights, I mean real blonde hair. Like I have...
And Vaati, I know what you mean, my Irish blood makes me very pale and I can't get too tan. My Mom is a tanaholic(or she would be if she had the time), and always says me and my dad are too pale.

My genes are nuts. Pale skin, blonde hair, green eyes... etc. I sound mostly British... but thats one of the smallest factors in me. I'm mostly Irish, a quarter Lation(though I look nothing like it; we also don't know a country) and a tiny trace of British and French in there...

Hi no Seijin

I don't know about the highlights part.  I think they can be pretty cool.  I wouldn't give myself highlights, but some girls look good with highlights.

darkphantomime

Yes, yes... But I'm too pale. I spend all my time indoors, hardly ever venturing outside. I know a lot of other people with a fair complexion, but a lot of them are at  LEAST somewhat more tan than I.

Vaati

If this was the Sims 2, they have Turn-Ons and Turn-Offs, and you could choose different hair colors for that. I always choose the wierd hair colors when I make myself.
Well, I've finally made up my mind, I won't dye my hair black because one, I don't want this one girl to think I'm copying her again, two people liked my purple hair, and three, I liked the purple hair better.

Rev Rabies

ive been wanting to dye my hair...

you know, having sex when you're a minor is illegal, yet when staff members at school see pregnant girls they are like, oh well



Darth Wyndisis

Yeah, I could care less how tan a girl is.  I have red hair so I have really light skin myself.  The one look that is actually something of a turnoff to me is highlighted hair with a dark tan.  I guess some people think it looks good, but I think it just looks weird.
