Ana Nogueira (10ºB, Escola Secundária Henriques Nogueira), commenting on the post "The age of the 1st sexual experience":
«I would like to mention an important fact. In class, our teacher showed us the results about the age of 1st sexual experience. If we cross this information with the other results about the age people think they should have their 1st sexual experience, we see an alarming fact!
In some cultures, people think one thing and do another. There is a conflict in their minds. This can have serious consequences like lack of self-esteem, frustration
. If most people think they should start their sex life late but they start it early, something is wrong.
They can start with understanding what makes them think they should initiate sex late: religion, parents, fear, shame...
Then they must do their own choices and never forget that none of us should do or not do something because other's opinions. We can't regret a choice well thought and that doesn't go against our own values!»

This is a very strict interpretation of the data.
This is a problem I have with questionnaires and analysis of them, generally. Numbers on the charts of the results are individuals, real persons that we don’t know details of their life and their experiences. As I mentioned in my post, we must take into consideration the question: was the sexual act in early age the result of conscious decision? Was there a will to do it? Was the person sober? If there wasn’t will or clear mind, then it’s normal that the same person says that sexual life must begin later on. Doesn’t he/she have the right to admit their mistake and learn from it?
Why should be so strict with adolescents? If we don’t agree on what they do, we must first understand why they do it and the main responsibility lies on the adults that support the young person’s life: parents, teachers. What do we expect from adolescents to do when sex is so abundant everywhere? How many parents talk openly to their children about sex? How many teachers do sexual education at schools?
