Everyone has that feeling that originally hits them when someone says or does something but after thinking about it sometimes that gut feeling isn’t exactly how we really feel. Today whether we are willing to admit it or not society and social media has a massive impact on the way we think or feel. The news we watch every day might as well be putting their own opinions in our head because they are how we get our information and how are we supposed to know anything otherwise. Also for teenagers peer pressure and social media has its way of influencing our opinions if all your friends are against you teens would rather just agree and argue otherwise.

Yes I understand the risks with it and the possibilities of pregnancy but they did take all the proper precautions and they didn’t hurt anybody so what maybe I don’t agree with it doesn’t mean its something that everyone should shun them for doing. I understand that even though they still took all the right precautions if an actual relationship formed it would be hard for the family and bring stress to the family but doesn’t divorce bring all that too yet everyone still gets those and doesn’t try to stop them. And again yes I understand the risks associated with incest but even then the risk of the child having a disability is actually
