Children having sex

[misterman10]

Damn, they are getting them for free? How come I still have to pay for them not to get pregnant?!?!

Yet you still made my mom pregnant

Thats, my friend, was no accident

Your avatar makes this so much funnier

Way to stereotype my people, just like you to act like the white men of this age...

To every single poster who has basically said oh my how can they do that.

What would you prefer, they give out birth control in cases where it may be needed, as discreetly as possible

or

6th to 8th graders keep getting pregnant and as some are, leading to all the complications that arise from it.

Its the schools trying to take responsibility for an issue that is increasingly getting out of hand.

You don't tell your kids, its wrong to shoot people when you get mad at them, then hand them a loaded gun...."just in case".

see jay this is where my worldview is infinitely preferable to yours (just kidding of course)

i am a mental giant enough to be able to see that theres no need for an analogy here, and me being the crazy big gov wacko i am, when i see the parental social unit is not getting out info. and regrettably birth control when it needs to be done, i want some other social institution to protect those people.

Shortsightedness and rigid views only cause more people to fall through the cracks like this.

And this is why I am a conservative. It is the parents job to handle these issues and talk to their kids, not the government. If parents aren't doing what they should be, we need to change THAT, not give government more control over what goes on within families. Sometimes analogies are needed when common sense is lacking. I'm not willing you give my freedoms away as quickly as you are. I'm raising my kids, the government needs to butt out!

No, just the "Unforgivable" vids and the guys personality, not that he's black
and I'm not white

[xtratabasco]

I support the idea of birth control for all, but my illegal maid keeps saying no no no as I try the other hole. maybe she wants an ancore baby.

jay if anything you mentioned above would actually occur and was more practical than the way things currently are, i would be all for it. The best of all possible worlds probably looks little like our own. However your little freedom rant there is a bit of bs, since its not like they are giving your kids the birth control.

girls still had cootees when i was in year 6

Cause if they were, you might see me in the newspaper.... suing NYS.

i have no doubt you would, you probably wouldnt be the only one doing it either. Im guessing youd probably lose the suit though, cause i dont think theres any legal precedent against it, though id have to look that up. Im occasionally falliable after all.

I think your right on that, some girl in my high school dressed up in a big condom costume and started handing out condoms to everyone, and there was nothing the administration could do about it.

What's wrong with the youth these days?

i remember wanting to play football and not wanting much to do with girls, kids today are clearly crazy.

aw, I hoped there would be a video.

meh, we're different then you were back then, a lot of people at my school are interested. Personally, I'm more interested in posting on CC. [size=`]Except...[/size]

And this is why I am a conservative. It is the parents job to handle these issues and talk to their kids, not the government.

The implication you are making is that Liberal parents don't want to talk to their kids about sex and WANT the government to do it. Only an idiot would believe this.

I would bet $100 that if a study were done of Conservative & Liberal parents to see which are more open with their kids about sex, the Liberals would win hands down.

[btownmeggy]

Tell kids what happens when you have unsafe sex and they wont do it.

Do you live in an alternate dimension?

[s.xkitten]

no, they should not be forced to tell the parents.

No, the implication that I am making is that Conservatives are for smaller government and liberals are for bigger government. Nice try though...

It was a success I would say.

i think theres 2 ways to look at it, one of them being the way you have discussed. It is pretty horrific. And it really does seem like the type of thing youd probably want parents to know about.

Still look at the other side of the coin, the fact of the matter is, studies show kids are having sex at least at this young of age. In many cases its not the girls fault for doing so, which is reflected in the discreetness that is often given to older girls as well. Its somewhat unlikely that everyone is getting the pill, but it may be getting to people who do in fact need it.

If your a parent, it might just be a signal to try and watch your childs behavior as best you can and to really make sure things dont sneak up on you in regards to sexuality. You dont have to take a child completly out of the world, but realize these things do happen, and that the more involved we are as a society as role models, the hope is that it will happen less.

I think you might feel a little different about what you call "looking at 2 sides of the issue" when it's your kids.

i of course will respect the possiblity that things could have changed.

However i have certainly thought about this, since its somethign that gets discussed from tiem to time. I have a goal of being a parent that informs my children about the world out there in a variety of ways, with sexuality being one of those ways. Im hoping to raise them in a way that they can be comfortable with themselves, their bodies, and something as complex as sexuality. Ill probably provide them with differnet peoples opinions on all these issues, cause im a dork like that.

However, i will also want my children to have access to things that will be safe. Certainly no one likes the idea that there kids could be sexually active, since we dont view our children as sexual beings. However, they will be despite our wishing that it was not so. I hope that as a parent i can do well enough in the life long process of raising my child to have them be secure enough with themselves to make responsible decisions as adults.

So no i dont think ill see it differently, because ill be attempting to lay the groundwork for a hopefully fufilled life for the duration, not just when things come up.

A school district in Maine - United States has started offering birth control, mainly "the pill" to students in 6th through 8th grades, and will not be required to tell the parents about it.

Don't worry, Jay won't know his daughter's on the pill.

[b.k. barunt]

I am in grade eight and well....It is going on but girls arent that stupid.

Ummm - is that a conundrum?

So are they throwing in some "Cervarix" or other HPV vaccination with this?
