In this post I would like to talk about how people are pressured from friends and family to have sex and that you shouldn't have sex if you don't want to have sex. You should have sex when you are good and ready to and when you know that it's the right person. You know that it's the right person when you know that they love you and you know that they will always be there for you and will love you no matter what.

My Data

In the chart below it shows who is pressured to have sex by who. Some people said friends and some said family but the result varies.

Pressured to have sex by...

What teenage boys do for sex!!!

They have recently done an online survey of 1,200 guys from ages 15 to 22 about how guys lie about sex. "Everyone thinks they just want to have sex -- that it's all about getting it on," says Ann Shoket, chief of seventeen magazine. According to the survey 45% say that they are virgins, 60% lied about sex,number of sexual partners and claimed they weren't virgins. Also studies show that 51% say that having sex before marriage was acceptable in their family, 53% said that they had a conversation with a parent about preventing pregnancy. Despite discussion of hookups, friends "with benefits" and other sexual openness, the survey found a double standard for guys and girls: 53% of guys said having lots of hookups makes them popular, but 71% said it makes girls less popular.

Research Question

In relationships are teens pressured to have sex?
Does the amount of pressure vary in different races?

I was interested in this topic because some of my friends and other teens in high school are being pressured into having sex with their boyfriend in high school. A lot of my friends feel that they need to have sex with their boyfriend in order to remain in a relationship with them. As I told my friend a couple of weeks ago (because most of my friends and family members come to m for advice) if you feel like you have to have sex with them just to stay in a relationship with them then obliviously their not the one that you need to be having sex with and most importantly their not the one that you should be in a relationship with. What I hope to learn about this topic is why boys or girls pressure their mates into having sex with them.

High School Boys

As my first blog post I decided to talk about the boys at my high school. As you know not all boys are the same. You have the sporty boys which are the most popular, then you have the boys that are your play brothers an that will always be there for you when you need them. There's also the boys that are in the middle of the two. The cute boys that are cool but not as popular as the jocks. Then you have the lames (no offense) who are ugly and annoying and well, not your type. There's also the wanna-be boys that do things to try to fit in with the popular boys. There's not really a best type of boy just as long as their cute and have a good personality and you like them, someone easy to talk to and that you love being around with. Those are the type of boys that most girls prefer. The ones that you need to watch out for are the ones that want SEX. Most upper-classmen boys (such as jr. and seniors) only go with the lower-classmen girls (freshmen and sophmores) just to see whether or not they would give up their virginity to them. (also including oral sex) But my advice, which I just gave to one of my friends, is if you have to give sex to a boy (and you don't want to) just to keep them in a relationship with them, then their not worth staying in a relationship with.
