It's so sad ... Vietnamese teenagers nowadays are like that, they are so easy to have sex with their boyfriends. And a bad thing is that Vietnam is one of the nations in the world which have the most abortion. The essential reason is that they lack the knowledge of safety sex (The High school in vietnam still don't have the subject of reproductive health yet).
Also, currently the number of pre-marriage pregnants is alarmingly increasing in Vietnam, one of the reasons is that girls today are so compliant and soft-hearted that whenever their boyfriends ask for sex, they can offer it.
Once I've heard of the ones who were in love said that if you haven't had sex, how can you know if you are sexually compatible with your betrothed? it is similiar to a thing like you wanna test a car before you buy it. If the car is suitable to you, then you'll take it. ... This sounds reasionable, but if we all wanna test our girlfriend before getting married, then there'll be no girls in the world

Teenagers' view on sex and love the same regardless of where they are. That's the growth and the development aspects of sexuality. These kids need to be educated about these things. I do understand
that Asian society in general and Vietnamese society in particular are rather very taciturn when it comes
to the topic of sex or discussion sex publicly. It seems like it's almost a taboo or something. Vietnam is
no longer barred from the rest of the world so she needs to understand there will be a great deal of pop
culture will have an affect on the younger generation. Nowaday, the internet, tv, radio, magazine, movies,
tourism, etc...carry with loaded implications of sexual matters. In my personal opinion, there are at least three things that Vietnam can do to lessen this effect.
1) The board of education in Vietnam ought to take proactive measure in introducing courses as part of the
curriculum for these kids. I think they have the power and the mean to do this.
2) Parents and kids need to be more open to sex discussion at home. This is tough I know. But no option.
3) The Vietnamese government ought to be more involved in the censorship of the media regarding the
explicit nature of sexual exposure to the public. Right now they seem to be more focusing on political
censorship than any other aspects. Very sad.
Until Vietnam takes proactive measures to deal this issue, Vietnam will be a decadent society for years to
come.
