Anyways, as I mentioned before, being stubborn in refusal and looking away, hoping that it won't happen is naive. If you're kid came up to you and said "I'm going to have sex. I want a condom." Would you really refuse him? If you did, he'd hate you, have sex, get her pregnant, and blame you.
First off, I'm not looking away, I'm DEFINITELY being pro-active about this.

Instead, lets try to instill a moralistic mindset into our youth to know that murder is a bad thing, and pray that they are reinforced at many different levels, ESPECIALLY at school that violence wont solve anything and is a bad thing.
Second off, if he blamed me, FUCK him. Thats the next problem, no accountability for his action (a WHOLE other tangent for another time). I know better, i didn't, but i know now. I'm lucky, i was apparently partially retarded at that time, and no one would have came to save my ass when i came and told my dad i had a baby on the way.
I should have HIV, 20 kids and a whole other slew of shit. I knew what was going on, i knew the risks, i knew where to go to get condoms, they give them out for free at the health dept. There was NO reason for me to take the risks i did, but i was young and stupid. But at that time, i was 17/18/19/20. i would have had the ability to drop out of school, get a job support my soon to be coming family. I fail to see how this would be possible for a 14 yr. old who will have assuredly the EXACT same mindset as me...and honestly would probably be MORE sober and more apt to make a wiser decision.
Abstinence is a GREAT thing to teach to that group, HS is where you should start teaching about this. Anything younger than that is too young. PERIOD!
I will not accept the fact that its ok for a 13 yr. old girl to have sex. Never.
if its ok w/ you, i hope you have a little girl one day.
It takes a special kind of person to think that that would be ok...
kinda like someone on dateline.
Wow, again, even though I've denied it numerous times, you claim that I think it's okay. I DO NOT THINK IT'S OKAY. I'm only looking at the facts. Just about everything you said up there was something you had a conflict with morally, although you provided very little in the way of productive counter-arguement.
1. Refusing him condoms and hoping he won't have sex is not being proactive. Period. Talking with him is being proactive, but after that, your proactivity stops unless you dog him constantly and punch him in the nuts every time he thinks of whipping off his pants in front of a girl.
2. Again, I recognize that these kids have no way of supporting a child. But that proves the point all the more. If these kids have condoms, they won't be having kids. Or atleast, not nearly as many. It may cause more kids to have sex, but it will be safe sex. And no, it won't balance, despite what you may think.
3. I wholeheartedly agree with teaching abstinence. I'm not saying that I think teaching that is bad. By all means, teach it. What I am saying is; Offer the option of safety if that fails, which it does...
4. I don't agree that anything before HS is too early to teach kids about sex/abstinence/safety. That's incredibly naive. Kids learn about it, one way or another. And they tell eachother. And then they experiment. Fact. Teach these kids early, so that HOPEFULLY you're "moral mindset" is instilled.
5. I'm NOT saying it's okay for a 13 year old girl to have sex! I'm also not saying that it's okay for her to neglect safety. Never gonna say that.
6. You hope I have a little girl one day because you think I think it's okay? That's one hell of a wish upon Chris. Thanks. I really appreciate that. Obviously you can't take this topic with a little bit of salt, and it's obviously affecting your demeanor.
7. I'm done with this post. It isn't fair that someone is turning me into an unmoralistic monster because my views are different from his. How about we all go and gang up on an atheist or muslim next? After that, let's go beat up someone who's pro-choice. And then, maybe we can go make fun of someone who believes in taking the boundaries of science further. Obviously I'm not a good person, so I'll just shut up now. Sorry for bothering all of you.
