Do you think hooking up is different depending on where you are coming from say from a public vs private high school setting?

There are different answers for each individual, but generally speaking, it's the quick fix. No one wants to wait. Everyone wants the good stuff now. But when forced to face the consequences, such as telling the love of your life you have an STD, or feeling guilty on your wedding night, it's then that people wish they had stuck to the Disney romance instead of MTV's version of "love." It's everywhere - TV, magazines, school. Hooking-up with people is so common that it's become accepted. But the truth is, while a one night stand is fun for the night, in the long run everyone wants to be loved, and contrary to what seems to be popular belief, sex is not love. Love wants what is best for the other and STDs, a child when the time isn't right, and emotional damage are not what is right for your beloved. Hooking-up will only cause damage in the long run. Kickin' it old school and waiting 'till marriage is part of the recipe for a romance and a happy ending that everybody wants.

Hollywood makes it seem so awesome and so special but its sooooo dangerous... girls could end up prego, both guys and girls could end up with some nasty diseases and I think sex is something that should be considered special. Don't just jump into bed with the first guy or girl who gives you even the slightest attention cause you could end up paying for it in the end BIG TIME.

Way to let your parents and religion influence, nay control your life. Think for yourself and be part of the solution not part of the paranoid ignorance.

my parents don't influence me one bit. There is also no paranoid ignorance. Look around and think with your head not your dick. I don't know about you but I don't want to have a kid at 19 years old or any kind of diseases that can ruin my future. So much can happen in such a short period of time and I don't wanna take my chances of gettin into bed with my worst nightmare.

That's weird because my worst nightmare is something along the lines of being mugged, taken to a remote location only to be tortured by having small bits of my limbs amputated without amnesia at which point my torturers will take the necessary precautions to keep me alive at a healthy level and taking the time to let the amputation heal over only to cut away a few more inches in a few weeks. Having kids wouldn't be a nightmare, it would be more of an unwelcome, unexpected grandfather coming to live with you and your family while taking over your house, and just being a bad guest all around. Nobody is saying don't be safe when you have sex, because if they were I'd be bashing them as hard as I'm bashing you for following your obvious brainwashed beliefs. Look at some psychology, we're not meant for long term relationships and our peak years of fertility and "lust" are from the ages of 17 to around 25. It's completely natural to have sex, stop being such a prude about it and just grow up. I don't need some 19 year old kid trying to tell me how to live my life when I've been through enough shit that you have no idea about. I have more life experience than most people in their 30s and I don't care what anybody thinks.

Hey man I never said there was anything wrong with sex. All I'm saying is think before you hop into bed with somebody you barely know causing something you may regret. Sex isn't bad or wrong but it is something that should be taken carefully.

Okay I must have misunderstood what you meant. Sorry for flipping off the handlebars there. I'm extremely opinionated on a few things and being a prude is one of them. We're actually a rather promiscuous species but religion and society based around religion is trying to "tame" us to be "more civilized". I'm not against marriage, I'm not against homosexuality, really it's up to you to make your choices but I'm begging everyone to be open minded and get the hell away from religion. I can say with 100% certainty that once religion isn't a driving factor in a vast majority of people's lives we'll see incredible improvements in all sectors of life. 

 

 I harbor no ill will to anyone though.

No worries man I don't let religion dictate my life. I'm an open minded person who was named most opinionated in her class because of my lack of censorship. I share my opinion and don't ask anyone to change theirs.. just look at all sides of things.

Not to be rude, but where did she say that, or anything remotely similar?

Personally, I'm really not a fan of the whole hooking up and having sex with random strangers thing, only because a few of my friends were into that for a while and, safe as they thought they were being, one of them ended up pregnant and the other got HPV. Oops. 

 

Frankly, I'm just not a sexual person, so I don't see the point in hooking up. I don't judge others who do, but I personally prefer a meaningful relationship with mental and emotional stimulation.

I don't agree with this either - dressing up in sexy attire seems as if it's the fastest way to find a mate, when really it's only picking out the dud's. In my eyes - unless you WANT a one night stand, you aren't going to find the one unless you are completely comfortable around each other, and confident in sweat pants and a t-shirt.
