birth control for kids

Well then I guess you can just let them have sex become parents, because birth control doesn't always work, and drop out of school. Oh, or since condom don't always work how about getting AIDS?

How about people just stop having sex then? Cause there's no way to tell who has AIDS and who doesn't. rolleyes



Back to the discussion at hand, I see no harm in elementary schools providing birth control to those who think they may have sex. Schools here in California start talking about sex in the 4th grade (a little late to hear about the differences between a boy and a girl imo). Since the schools talk about sex and how to have safe sex then I see no problem with them supplying the products to these kids who are at school all day anyway. It's convenient for them.

Having contraceptives available in a front office is not promoting sex.

(Sorry, I don't like kids, never have. Don't gripe at me just 'cause I don't see them the same way you do.)

You've been one yourself.

*Gasp* HYPOCRITE! surprised

*gasp* SO NOT THE POINT!

Did you have one, or are you just another irritating kid?

Don't have one, but I'm a kid if you consider 16 to be such.

What I said applies whether you like it or not. You've been a kid, so saying you hate them is kind of hypocritical. It's also incredibly stupid and immature to say you hate kids, since they're all the same :/

It's not a matter of them doing it, I don't think.
Now kids are starting at a much younger age then they did about 10 years ago.
If the younger generation is going to do it, why not be protected?
I think it's good that the schools do give that out, just to make sure that it is safe when it does happen.

Babies having babies, is bad.
Kids don't think of sex as something like that, it's just an activity.
Protection is good.
I think it's good the school is looking out for what is happening now.

Well actually you could have them tested for STD's.

People aren't pets. You can't have them tested for anything. They can go in and get tested for themselves, but they could always lie to you.

I think it is wrong getting things like that in school especailly at an early age. If they want to give those to students then give it to them when they r in 9th-12th grade. Geez, what is this world coming to.

You're right. They should be left in the dark about birth control and disease prophylaxis well after puberty and instructed that abstinence is the only way to keep their d**k from falling off/their life being filled with babies. Fear of disease and pregnancy work really well to keep teenagers from having sex. And if they do it anyway, s**t, they deserve whatever they get. Teaching them to protect themselves is misguided and can only lead to...um, s**t, less disease and underage pregnancy, I guess, but who says that's a good thing?

Lol, I completely agree with you

It's obvious that abstinence only education never has and never will work. Kids do what they want anyways and we NEED to teach them about protection. They need to know facts. Period.
So in otherwords, I agree as well.

Yeah, god forbid trying to protect children from pregnancy and STDs!

It's not being hypocritical at all. I'm the same age as you and I hate little kids as well. Looking back on how I acted, if I met my past self today I would hate it, too. We all know we were like that but we aren't anymore (well.....most of us) so hating would only be hypocritical if we claimed that we were perfect children. And I don't hate kids all the time, when they're being quiet and well-behaved they can be pretty cute ^_^.......

I believe this is a good idea, not only that, but taking the pill has many other great aspects to it. It helps acne, can help depression, regulates periods. So why not?

Even if we exclude the hypocritical part, it's still stupid and immature.

1.) I didn't say I hate kids. I said I don't like kids. There's a difference and I would thank you to cease putting words into my mouth.

2.) This is not pertaining - in the slightest - to the topic at hand. If it really bothers you that much that I do not like kids, you can PM me.

1. Oh please. The only difference is how much you dislike them. The fact remains that stereotyping all kids is stupid and immature.

2. True, but you shouldn't have brought it up if you didn't want people to jump you on it.

What's so stupid and immature about hating whining, screaming, misbehaving, annoying little children? I'm sure you've been on a bus or in a movie theater where a screaming child also was and been annoyed or wished the child would shut up or leave before. I would have to call B.S. if you claim not to have.
Nobody said that the quiet ones were a problem, after all. But honestly, how many children are well behaved? Almost none. In fact, a good child is extremely rare. Mostly because parents don't actually raise their children anymore. You have to remember that these are the same parents who think it's ok not to teach their children the real facts about sex, std's and protection.

It goes full- circle.

It doesn't apply to you. I was talking about Kellia521. She's stereotyping kids and says she doesn't like them. I.E., all of them.

Also, I may be annoyed by children like those, but I don't hate them.

School's should be teaching kids, even as young as kids would be in 6th grade, about sex and puberty and all that. That's how it was in my school.

They should be TAUGHT about birth control and condoms and all, but not given. Sure, show them what it looks like, in separate boy-girl classes, teach them all about it. But giving them it isn't exactly good.

The school should send a note to the parents and tell them about these classes before hand, so the parent can pull the kids out of the class if they want. Also, with that note, the parent can decide to put their daughter on birth control or give their son a condom! It's really the parent's choice to give their kids these things, not the school's. The school teaches, and educates, but that's all they should do.

And what if the parents decide to shelter their childern?
"Little Susie's parents decided to pull her out of her 6th grade sex ed class. So she didn't get to learn about safer sex and birth control or STD's and such. Fast forward a few years and Susie is 16 and going to a big party with lost of older and even younger boys. Susie meets a seemingly nice boy and he offers to have sex with Susie. Susie has heard other people talk about sex and thinks it sounds fun, so she says yes. But Susie was pulled out of sex ed so she doesn't know about the dangers or how to protect herself. Susie has sex with the nice boy and doesn't use any protection. Susie ends up a pregnant teenager with ghonneria(sp?)."

We need sex ed in schools. Period.
