[If the schools aren't going to teach them about safer sex then it's really up to the parents and maybe it's time somebody started educating the arents and tell them how important it is to talk about sex with their teens.



Hi, agreed. It is interesting that you mention this because my date said every year the curriculum gets cut more and more about what he can and cannot talk about with the kids because the school is run by a very conservative group of parents who are in denial that their kids do these things. i also agree with what was said about "stereotypes" of inner city and poor children. i know many families that don't have a pot to piss in but their children turn out extremely well and don't have "these kinds of issues". I don't know about other states but in NY state children can also get an abortion without the consent of their parents. I have a friend who worked at Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn, NY and she said 10 year old girls used to come to the the hospital with their 10-year-old friend to get an abortion. Scary the world today and I don't think it is going to get any better.
