“Here are the data: Fifty-nine percent say they have sex
weekly or more often, and 32 percent say they’ve had sex with more than one
person over the past year” That leaves 9 percent left that either do not have
sex, or have had the same sexual partner for more than a year. I am a part of
that 9 percent. However shocking it may be, there are still young people out
there who choose abstinence, me being one of them. That being said, I have no
personal experiences with the ‘Hookup Culture’ simply because I am not a part
of it. Therefore, I will write about another person’s personal experience.
I had a friend in high school that was very smart and
had a lot going for her. She was paid to be in the Razorback Marching Band in
the fall of 2013 at the University of Arkansas. However, all of that changed
the night of her senior prom.
Prom, as most people know, is the night many students
choose to hookup. She hooked up with a guy the weekend of prom. Later, the day
after graduation, she was pregnant. Because she lived in a small town, the news
spread like wildfire.
A couple months later, she had a miscarriage and lost her
baby. It was very sad and we all mourned for her. However, this pregnancy
taught her a lesson. Yes, the hook up culture is virtually the same as it was
decades ago. But, students can still be safe while living in this “hookup
culture.” Otherwise, outcome could be
responsibility for new life.
