They're just not emotionally prepared to have s*x at that age and it just comes off meaningless in the end. Insteed of promoting condums, they should be promoting abstanence. Call me old fashioned, but that's the way I feel. *Gets off soapbox*

Problem is, promoting abstinance does not always work. I talked to a 28 year old woman the other day who has never in her life used a condom, and has been sexually active since she was a young teenager. Scary, yes?

Safer ______ = More ______.


Not true. I'm currently taking Human Sexual Behavior and my professor showed us studies saying that promoting safer $ex does NOT promote more. It's just a myth. But one that upholds, since most people believe it to be true. And abstinence programs are only used because the government will only fund abstinence $ex ed classes. Schools take what they can get, even though most would rather have safe $ex ed classes.

Sorry, you can hate me if you want to, but I think that the school was right for suspending her and I think it deplorable that the mother helped her with the condoms Call me old fashioned, but handing out condoms is not the role for a school, that is for parents. I don`t want the schools telling my son or daughter to go out and have ______!

What if they go out and do it anyways? And soon you end up with a grandchild. Or find out that they have an STD. Wouldn't you rather them be safe? Teaching abstinence does not reduce the number of students having ______. It's a proven fact! So we might as well promote it safely since they are doing it anyways!

It is the job of schools to teach Reading ,writing and math, and science, not to teach my son or daughter to use condoms, that is the job of the parent.

Are you really going to sit down with your 14 year old child and tell them how to use a condom? Did your parents do that with you? I certainly know mine didn't.

The fact is ____ is a very important subject because of all the unwanted teenage pregnancy and extremely high STD rate among teenagers. And these rates seem to be reducing because of the way they are going about teaching this. And the fact that they teach it at such a young age means that they are really trying to impact these children to make the right decisions. And if their decision is the have ____, at least they'll be doing it safely!

As much as one may try, there is NO WAY WHATSOEVER you are going to teach teenagers to practice abstinence! If they're going to do IT, they're going to do IT. There's way too many hormones rushing and way too much temptation that some are too weak to fight these tempations... Now... would you rather see the teenage pregnancy/abortion rate increase rapidly or have them taught in school the safe ways in which to.. uh.... um... err... make babies... wait.. no... um... enjoy them selves.. ah... what the heck... seuxally? I wasn't taught exactly how to use a condom in high school, but I was taught to have safe $ex (there we go!) and I'm sure there were many pregnancies and STD's prevented through this. I was taught about abstinence in Sunday School... looking at the people in my previous classes, however, this lesson obviously went over a lot of people's heads... :rolleyes:

that is SO true jonnie!

i learned about abstinence in church - and somewhat from my parents - but it was my parents who took me to church... i stuck with that lesson from church too!!! - i am also greatful to teachers in ______ ed who taught me about safe ______... just in case i were to ever 'slip'... lol... - but - i know a LOT of kids who were brought up the same way i was - but they didn't really care about abstaining, and had $ex anyway - but i think due to what they learned in school - a lot of pregnancies/abortions/stds were prevented!

I don´t want to post in this thread, but it´s just sooo tempting! :o

I think I disagree with the sole distribution of condoms to teens. I would agree if previous to that, there is a DEEP AND EXTENSIVE program focusing in abstinence and values and so on. Of course, that program should include topics as contraceptive methods, abortion, risks, responsabilities, and consequences of having $ex, STD´s, $exual orientation classes in which they teach about the human body and how to know yourself and stuff like that.

After all that information given in a respectful and serious way, it´s the teen´s decision wether to have it or not, but well warned of what he/she is doing and well aware of the consequences, as well as the reasons why he/she would do it, and their own choice if it´s worth or not to wait for the right moment and person to do it with.

/end of speech.

Darrel, darling, you still didn't answer my last question. Did your parents teach you about ____? Mine didn't. It's very uncomfortable. And even though you may say you will. It's difficult, and I doubt if you're really show your 14 year old daughter how to put a condom on her boyfriend.

Im not saying condoms should be distributed to high school students, but I am saying that they should be taught how to use them.

And about my parents teaching me all this stuff... If my parents would have given me "the talk" as a teenager, it would probably go down as one of the single most emberassing moments of my life... besides that one.. but I wont go into that.

YEs, my parents did teach me about ______ and Also at 14 my dad took my sister to the doctor and had her put on birth control pills , which didn`t work :rolleyes: at age 17 she had a daughter and then got married and then had a son, now she`s getting divorced. but that is my sisters fault, like you said I agree that kids are going to have ______ wether they are taught or not, you just have to hope that they have learned common sense. but to anwer your question, yes my parents had no problem tackling the question.
