I don't think its the fact that we feel to 'rebel' or other shtuffs, but at the end of the day you have to realise that Religion isn't a big thing in modern day society [in England anyway] and thus people aren't going to be all "Oh, well, i'll go to Hell if i did X, Y and Z so i'd better wait for yada-yada-yada.". Instead teens and others believe that we only live once, and nothing is on the otherside, and thus all they want to do is live life to the full, and i'm in full support of that. I saw a documentry about Texas and how they have that 'No sex pledge' thing until after you get married and that made me feel sick to the stomach, the fact you're starving people from what they have a right to do just because of a theory of what happens after death. Its wrong. Teens are beginning to become sexually mature at an earlier age and somebody scaring them into rejecting what comes naturally is morally wrong. You don't see people forcing you not to urinate. Or defacate. So why stop them from fornication!? I feel sorry for American kids, especially the one's who live in a state thats part of the Bible-belt. Its cruel.

And to answer Adders question - yes. I think people should do whatever makes them happy, so long as it doesn't harm anyone/thing. And most of society does that - thankfully all the fuddy-duddy's and all people who are "Alkohol hurts you" etc etc are dying off. Yeh, it hurts you, but we only live once. Chances are a 17 year old teen in England could drop dead tomorrow and he/she's already done stuff that they had planned to do [maybe not have a family, have their own home, job etc. But sex, drugs, drink, have fun etc] and thus may not have any regrets on not doing shtuffs. But an American teen will drop dead tomorrow and they will have wasted the best years of their life...
