Answer to Question #286961 in Philosophy for Bernadeth Domingo

Question

In terms of Pre-marital sex and teenage pregnancy, millennials are willing and eager to take risks; they don’t mind making mistakes-they consider this a learning opportunity. How would you react to this statement about yourselves as millennials?

Answer 1

Pre-marital sex and teenage pregnancy have become rampant in the millennial generation. Even though the impact of sexual hormones has played a role, others factors accelerate the occurrence of the pre-marital relations. These factors include social media, drugs and alcohol and peers. Such elements instill pressure on the millennial teens and influence their decisions to engage in pre-marital relations in the name of Fun. This is evident in the constant use of the term' YOLO' among millennials, pushing most teens to engage in such relations since it insinuates that as humans we only have one life and we should do all things we want to do to get the most experience.
