True, but when responding to Earp, sometimes you go with the basics.

If I remember my sex ed correctly they can have erections but not usually ejaculate until puberty. Whether these guys were pre or post pubescent I don't know.

This is nothing. We were busy impregnating girls when I was 7. Oh wait, I came from a civilized society so maybe not.

:D Thank you James!:D Nothing against you at all!:)

It seems that some want to at times when it fits them and their thoughts is fine and PC correct!:eek:

Well, the male penis can erect at a young age because of the feelings of the mind.

Well, it happens does it not?

Kids today are becoming more grown up as we speak. Why, because they are being taught that way!

My first sexual experience was in the seventh grade if you do not count playing Dr. and nurse before then!;) :D

ASUADPi brought up a good point. I teach 8th grade and we have some students who have actually aged out of the system. There are several students in my class who are 16 already! They should be 13 or 14. It is quite possible that these 5th graders were older. There is a 6th grader who is 11 at my school and pregnant. :confused: I am not really sure what the solution is, but we definitely need to provide more classes geared towards sexual awareness or whatever.

um.......you need to help that girl

not saying be her savior, but uh.....yeah, you should help her

I too think that guidance should be provided, but teachers are with the students only for a while. Yes, I think a lot of influence can be gained, but what about if there is nothing positive at home and in their peer group. WTF are the parents doing!?!?!?!?! Children need help from wherever they can get it, but our first forms of learning began at home. Parents should really get on their job!

When I was in 7th grade (12 years old) a girl became pregnant with twins. She dropped out of school but would bring the babies in to show everyone and it always horrified me to see people fawning over them. I mean, I understand everyone is interested in babies, but I couldn't believe it when teachers would make such a big deal over her twins but not even question if she was planning on returning to school or not.
She had another child in 8th grade, with a different guy. Haven't heard anything about her since. :rolleyes:

Um...the news article gave the ages of the kids. We know how old they are.
