Wow. So all sex talks or lack of them should be up to parents?
What if I don't have parents? Or what if I do, but they could care less about me.
What if I don't have anything entertaining to do that doesn't involve sex?
What if my best friend tells me she's having sex and that it's amazing?
What if... what if.... what if.....
parents are not always there. in fact, the majority of the time, parents are hardly there at all. so, great sex talk those kids are getting.
of course condoms should be available, and reliable ones. these can be very easily placed in both mens' and womens' restrooms, and a donation system very easily setup. at my college, condoms were placed above the sink and a small jar requesting twenty-five cents if you felt so driven.
also. business cards for free womens' services. pamplets about stds, nurses who are well versed in the same.
if someone has an std or is pregnant or WHATEVER, they are much less likely to get help if it is not advertised that these kinds of questions are welcome and, in fact, anticipated.
come on. parents or nothing? reaching abstinence? don't people know that in high school, many students are ready to run out and do something if teachers just mention it's not allowed?
also. the human race has been built so that women and men reach puberty early in life. it is not the human body that's changed, it's society mores. If women were once married at fifteen because they were ready a very long time ago, it's not the fault of the woman who feels horny today. isn't it better if something is available so that people can check out what's happening to themselves? knowledge is power, and blah blah blah, and sexual knowledge [the other kind] will give teens sexual power. Let them know there are some severe consequences. Let them know that sex is a natural thing for the human body.
jesus christ. keep people in the dark and there are more "babies having babies" and not being able to take care of either the child or themselves. teaching all options equals a couple who knows what they're getting into, perhaps even ecourages questions and "waiting for testing," if not waiting for marriage.
don't attempt to quash what the human body has been doing for centuries.
