A Jr. High School is making headlines about giving birth control to it's students (article is here)What is your stance on providing Jr. High students with condoms and birth control? Should it only be the parents responsibility?

my mom put me on birth control at 15 years old.
and you know what? it was one of the BEST decisions she'd made for me. i know that there are several religions that condemn BC, and for the most part, those that are active in those religions don't even need BC because they're not sexually active. the biggest problem with today's youth isn't lack of knowledge. most high school students know by looking around that having unprotected sex can result in kids. it's the fact of invincibility. Simply put: Teenagers don't think it can happen to THEM. Their friends, peers, friends of friends, sure. But not to THEM. and if it does happen, they don't think it can happen AGAIN. You can't do anything to stop kids from having sex, but I think it's a damn good idea to provide them with the steps AND the advantage of taking precautions if they choose to have sex. |
