Question 2
What are some of your reactions after reading this article? If one day, a close friend of yours confess to you that he/she has been engaging in sex, what would your advice to him/her be?

I don't really know why the girl (in the article)want to destroy her future,engaging sex with 8 guys just for money.If she study hard, in future she could have earn more money than now she had earn.
I will tell him/her that what he/she is doing is wrong and tell them not to do it again now our jobs is to study , if the guy is caught he may go to jail , and affect him in future from getting a better job , as for the girl i will tell her for now is too early to have sex as she would not be able to affort to take care of a baby,if she go for abortion she will have slimmer chance to got pregant in future and may have Sexual Transmitted Diseases.
