Last year, there was an 11-yr-old 6th grader who was 7 months pregnant!!! You are right, sex amongst middle schoolers is openly talked about. I know this sounds old fashioned, but we need to go back to basic morals and ethics and parents need some sense of accountability. The majority of my students are raising themselves (their parents work at least 2 jobs and there is no parental supervision in the evenings).

Thank you!
Part of me thinks that the Europeans have it right, when they start talking about this stuff much earlier...way less teen pregnancy over there.
And 11 year olds having sex? Much less children? What parent allows their 11 year old to keep a baby? ARE THEY INSANE? WTH is wrong with people?
