birth control for kids

[KaraokeDude]

When 17 middle school girls get pregnant within four years, yes it is an epidemic.

It also means the parents aren't doing their job educating their children about sex.

So you'd rather that kids go get each other pregnant and get STDs?

Listen, access to birth control and condoms does NOT increase the will to have sex. If the kiddies want to have sex, they will. It doesn't matter if they have access to protection, they will still do it.

agree... even though I think the thought of adolescence shagging is nasty... They will and have, I know people that have done that... Seems like they're getting younger and younger :3

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 ^_^.......

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

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.

Thank you very much, tsuyoi_kaze, for that somewhat off-topic and much appreciated defense It is only place second by Gaia, who gave me the ideal cure in an Ignore Members function... and ya know what they say about those smile .

I have taken the liberty trying to spare the moderators some time and deleted my previous posts, as they had absoloutely nothing to do with the topic at hand - instead, I'm considering going over to one of the many "children; love 'em or hate 'em" threads which the subject would be discussed on.

To repeat myself (not verbatim, but close);
I still think that since parents are too busy/unwilling/whatever to teach their children properly that it falls to the schools for every subject up to and including behavior, sex education should be no exception. Since the common age to begin having sex is falling so far so fast, sex education is necessary to teach kids why they shouldn't have sex and what precautions to take if they do decide to have sex - if handing out prophylactics and pills is a part of that, so be it. I'd rather hear about kids learning to avoid pregnancy and STDs, rather than the rising rate of teen pregnancy and infection.

I know it seems that they may be overreacting, but it's better to be safe about this kind of stuff. Especially if they live in a dangerous city.

Honestly, I think its a horrible idea to make the stuff so readily available. It would only give kids a reason to justify young sex. Right now, kids have sex just as often and as young as every other generation. If we encourage young sex, then we produce even younger sex.

It was fine for our parents, they had the good sense to not have ridiculously young sex because they knew that there would be consequences, nowadays, not so much: with available protection-no baby worries, no STDs, etc.

...I've heard some people talk about this, but I never thought they were serious. Giving girls birth control pills and boys condoms is like telling them it's ok to have sex, and I have to disagree with that. Educating them with Sex.Ed earlier on is a better alternative.

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.

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

thas not what i mean
