the American aspect of sex education being VERY lacking in our high schools...why?? be cause of the parents that are so narrowminded that they think if you teach a teen about sex, that it encourages them to HAVE sex...go figure..
You asked if I as a parent of a girl, would be upset if she was given the morning after pill. Yes, but not that the doctor gave it to her...that she was irresponsible enough to go and have sex when she knew better. NOW that being said...sex under the age of 17 is rape...IF my child had been raped, after I found and castrated the rapist, I would have been the one running her to the police and then the doctor for the pill.
What I've always found to be funny is that those kids whose folks that ONLY teach abstinance were usually the ones that ran the most rampant sexually. Kids are not stupid, but at that age, they think that it can't happen to THEM...it happens to others...but they have to have the option to not be judged if it does occur, for the reasons I stated in one of my earlier posts.
What needs to be taught is responsiblity for actions. You try and abstain until you find the one that you love enough to marry...if that falls through, then for goodness sake, USE A CONTRACEPTIVE!!
There are always exceptions to every rule and this falls under that. Yes, abstinance is best, but in the real world sometimes it doesn't happen...sh*t does...then you need to deal with it and forcing a 12 year old child to have a baby isn't the way to go about it.
Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
