"Average age of VNese teenage having first sexual experience is 14.2"
Went with Ruben to Krainem Sport Center yesterday to climb. Don't like that place so much, too many people, and the entrance fee is more expensive than the one we usually go.
Anyway, Sudhir moved in in the weekend, and already yesterday he asked what time I would be home, called me twice and one sms to ask where I was....Ggrrrrhhh
After climbing I was a bit hungry, so I went to see the VNese gang and had dinner with them. Of course we talked about VN, how it is changing, one of the guys is going back on Thursday for a month and a haft, and he will be in Saigon for 3 weeks, lucky guy!! Acc to the sexeducation and birth rate control agents, our teenagers are now experiencing sex much sooner than before. They are alarming and now in school they are going to give lessons on having safe sex, and proper sexeducation. When we think about that, they are so lucky. Before, we didn't have any of this, or if we have it is very briefly and not enough. Besides, sex is like a taboo, we don't talk about it...One of the guys even said Vietnamese montagnards dont' know how to use condom even they have been taught to use it!! I guess it is also of the open economy, I am a bit frustrated that we might lose our culture value with the influence of the West.
Young people are becoming very wild, and without proper education, they will be poisoned... However, old generation is still giving us a hard time on marriage expection, many of my friends are under this social pressure. And it is really tough, psychologically speaking, people from the west won't understand. Arranged marriage doesn't exist anymore but a girl still need to get married latest 25 years. So, I am out of the love market in VN ;-)))
But the sexeducation is definitely a good thing!
