Last school years, we had a talk on Human Sexuality because the school's council saw the vitality for us to know about our own sexuality and how can we protect it.
The council gave us some questions for our learning and reflection about Human sexuality and here in my blog are my answers.
I. What did you learn about respect and self-control?
I learned that we as Human Beings have different characteristics, perspective in life, for we are all unique. In that sense, we too have different interpretation of things around us. For instances, sex, and sexuality many of us have our own connotations, like sex is fun, some will say that it is immoral, and some will also say that it is sacred. Many of us today, look at these two words as the same in terms of meaning, let us face it, we are teenagers who in the psychological side are very curious about things. In many cases today, one of the most dominant issues of our society is pre-marital sex, pregnancy, and abortion, all of these concerns about teenagers. Some of these teenagers give their own reasons in having sex at an early age, some of them will reason out that it is their job, and some of them do it just for fun. With all their reasons, we as human beings should respect them and not to discriminate them for we too can make mistakes in our lives. I think all that they should always think is to be in-charge for their actions for they are the ones who in the end will accept all the consequences and they are also the ones that will either accept these consequences openly nor they will not. Having control in our lives means giving due respect our sexuality and to our body or our self as whole, self-control in the dimension of sex, means that as teenagers we are undergoing a process in which we have our own responsibilities that should be given more attention and studying is one of these essential responsibilities. We are teenagers, and we have a lot of time that pass by in our lives and we should focus in the things that are more vital in our lives. Sex, I think will come in the right time, it is has the bond in our sexuality but we should always think first before doing acts that we will just do out of the blue.
II. What did you found out about yourself?
I found out that I have my own perspective about sex, and some of my thoughts about sex were not merely facts but lies. I have my own sexuality that separates my characteristics to opposite sex, I found that that the fact that girls tend to think that sex is love tough it was not. I am fond of watching sex films, I am curious at first but when I watched many sex films, I became a fan of it but I am addicted at it though sometimes I am on the ‘good’ set to watch those videos. Well, media affects my being: their words, their actions, and their looks sometimes made me think to try or imitate them…Media helps, media harms but I do not want to play the fool and I have principles to follow about this thing called sex. I found out that I even a little knows my responsibilities though in some cases not talking about sexual intercourse; I am not. The important thing is that I am clear on my control in my life. Not to mention but I am mentioning it na. I wish that my principles on sex will not be betrayed by me and I detest temptations. You will never know because things sometimes come unexpectedly.
III. Significance of the Talk in my Life
The talk on Human Sexuality enlightened me a lot. The speaker gave a lot of examples on teens that experience pre-marital sex. Waaaaahhhh!!! Some of them sound funny to me but let’s face the reality well it’s not. Having experienced those things like unwanted pregnancy that leads to abortion and loosing of dignity and respect are very serious things that cause dramatic or tragic moments in their lives. I pity them when I am trying to put myself on their shoes; for some reasons I find myself imagining experiencing their pain. When the talk went deeper, I learned many vital things like the dangers in pre-marital sex and its factors. For instances, curiosity, peer pressure, exposure to media and family are some factors that can affect an individual and his mindset. If there are dangers in love, pre-marital sex also offers its dangers and it is our decision if we want to offer our hands to these dangers. These dangers are the probability of getting STD, infertility, unwanted pregnancy, the resounding abortion, loss of self-esteem, betrayal, isolation, and death. Now it is truly compassion. “There are dangers in pre-marital sex that most of us does not want to experience and its sad when you’ll know its you who was victimized by a culprit: yourself.
IV. Learnings
I learned that we should take charge of our self; we are the ones who are will accept the consequences of each of our actions. There are times that we do not want to listen and follow the advices of the persons that tell us the right thing to do. Well, most teens are like that, including me but I know that we are capable of following and we are capable of thinking twice and discerning the right one. Sex is sacred, it is true our body is the temple of God and it is our own self, the thing is that we should take care of it. Sex will come in the right time of our lives; it is not that immoral for we are not here, I am not here typing with complete hands if sex does not exist. We are Moral beings and we should respect teens that experienced the dangers of pre-marital sex and the discrimination of their sexuality. Our sexuality sometimes indicates our actions, psychologically speaking girls
