and to the last sentence in the last post. isnt that the point? these people are far to young to be having kids, and this is stopping them?
only concern i would have is if it fucks up thir development, as messing around with hormones with teenagers will almost definitley have long term effects.
Then the education system isn't doing it's job. I had no problems being a normal kid without getting girls pregnant and doing things I shouldn't be doing. It's not just down to schools, parents need to play their part too and the fact they aren't being told about this is a joke.
To your point. No it isn't stopping them. But why not? We need to look inward as a society and work out how and why it has gotten this bad and what we can do about it. Giving these girls birth control at 13, 14 or even 15 gives them the impression it's okay to go off with any Tom, Dick (Excuse that) and Harry available to them because they are protected against pregnancy. Well they certainly aren't protected against STI's.
We have a legal sex age for a reason. Stop facilitating under-age sex. It's one of these fake laws that no one gives a crap about. It's not the same for anything else. We don't say stealing is wrong oh here's a pill, knock yourself out. These laws and rules are in place for a reason.
Surely it would be better to teach, educate and make them understand rather than, here's protection, your gonna do it anyway. Don't make it acceptable.
theyve tried educating them and it doesnt work. educating people doesnt work. everyone from the age of about like 5 know that babies come from sex. and like from the age of 10 up about contraception and whatever. yet they still have sex without johnnies. this a fundamental problem with humans. its not just in the this, apply it too smoking, drinking too much, drugs, drink driving and all sorts of things that we know are dangerous and could end up badly, yet most people ignore it when it comes to them. people are very quick to give advice when its not them, and say how they would have done it. but if youre a horny teenager and someone wants to f**k you, obviously you're going to say yes, cos its pretty much one of the biggest things in there life.
giving these kids contraception at that age, if its safe, is much better than them ending up with kids or abortions which are going to damage them much more in the long run. the world is overpopulated enough to have kids having kids.
