Hmm, that must mean you had the same experience with a guy. Thanks for the tip.
Many chicks have sadly. Abstinence is 100%, but we are talking about teenagers here.
What? Teenagers are quite capable of exercising better judgment, when properly encouraged.
Some do, some don't.
What is known however, is that despite looking like and wanting to be adults, they aren't really. Important parts of the brain (those that control impulses and judgement) are not mature until around 25. Those are the factors involved in judgement of risky behavior and consequences. Why, for example is auto insurance higher for teens and young adults then for older adults?
What I find hard to understand is that we wouldn't think of having a 3 yr old learn about the "consequences" of a hot stove by upending a pot of boiling water on himself. We wouldn't trust the judgement of a 6 year old and send him across 6 lanes of traffic unaccompanied. Somehow though when it comes to teenagers and sex, we assume they are going to think and act like adults. The might or they might not. But it seems to me we shouldn't rely on it and there should be a Plan B for preventing pregnancy. Plan B shouldn't be a baby.
Again Coyote misses the mark.
What she says is that kids are thrown into sex on a regular basis...and if they get knocked up it's their parents' fault..not the fault of the perverts. And instead of going after the perverts for knocking up children, she thinks we should attack the parents for not providing adequate birth control against the eventuality of their kids' sexcapades.
Typical.
No, I'm not saying that
If two 15 yr olds have sex....who's the pervert?
And no, I'm not attacking the parents. I'm saying free bc should be available to those kids because some will eventually experiment with sex (as is confirmed by teen pregnancy statistics).
But keep on telling me what I'm "saying".
If two 15 year olds have sex in the living room 3 feet from where you're sleeping, you're the pervert.
That's what I'm saying.
And what you and tommy taint are saying is that that is *normal* and should be accepted as such.
