Reasons to Wait #031-040

Reason #031 – A WASTE OF TIME:  When I was a teen I can remember my first time and it was one of the worst days of my life. Once we were done having sex, he got up and just left me there……okay so did I just waste my time here…..indeed I did. My first time was supposed to be special and with my husband, not someone who only cared about themselves, even though I thought he cared about me. I am submitting my reason on behalf of all the girls who may not have been told how valuable you are.  Be bold as you live your life because you are made to be an example, not for someone to play with but for someone to be proud of….so wait because there is so much more to life than sex!  (Karen/age 35/Melvindale)

Reason #032 – JUST TOO YOUNG:  I’m waiting to have sex because I’m too young and I feel like I’m not ready. (Amani/14/Detroit)

Reason #033 – SEX AIN’T BETTER THAN LOVE!:  I’m waiting because I have better things to do with my life and because sex ain’t better than love says the song.  I agree.  (Loyal/age 18/Detroit)

Reason #034 – WAITING FOR MY SOUL MATE:  I am now waiting because I really want to find my one soul-mate, get married and have another baby. I already have a baby girl and she is with her father right now. (N./age 18/Detroit)

Reason #035 – I WISH I HAD WAITED:  I wish I would have waited to have sex because when I had sex the first time, it was with someone that was older than me and he don’t love me at all. That’s why I wish I would have waited to have sex. (Latanya/age 17/ Detroit)

Reason #036 – BELIEVERS OBEY GOD’S WORD:  Why you should wait is because God said it in His word and if you believe, you should obey His word.  (Maranda/age 17/Detroit)

Reason #037 – IT’S JUST NOT RIGHT:  It’s just not right to just give yourself to just anyone. (Kayla/age 12/Detroit)

Reason #038 – WAITING FOR THE SPECIAL MOMENT:  I’m waiting to get married to have sex because I want to have that special moment.  (Tiffany/age 15/Detroit)

Reason #039 – SEX IS NOT EVERYTHING:  I wish I had waited to have sex because sex is not everything. I really think you should wait until you get older and know the risk and know what are the side effects. It’s not everything. Wait, be patient – do it with the one you love. (LiLi/age 15/Detroit)

Reason #040 – THERE ARE SO MANY RISKS –  The reason for young teens to wait for sex is that they can catch HIV and Aids, etc. For one, they don’t know what they’re doing. Also, you can get pregnant. (Keaera/age 17/Detroit)
