Good topic:
I agree that moral issues such as abstinence and sexual responsibility should be taught by parents.
I also agree that concoms should be made available at junior high and high schools to adolescents that want them. I also think that when they come to get them, they should also be given information about STIs, etc.
I do not agree that discussing sex "makes" kids have sex.
I was previously an HIV Pre/Posttest counselor and also conducted workshops in middle and high schools.
I went to a middle school where we mainly discussed "postponing" sex. There was a 6th grade class so I was doing my thing. One of the girls who was 12 was looking at me CRAZY, like not listening. I addressed her and she was basically like I shoulda caught her in like 4th grade or some shyt. She had a two year old baby at home and was pregnant with her second. I was like "Dang."
