Are you happy that we live in a world where little girls are becoming pregnant by little boys? Well I'm sorry but a 13 year old is still a child. Yes, they think they are very adult and responsible and, yes, they are much more knowing than previous generations but 13 is far too young to obliquely condone sexual activity.

Having to hand out condoms to children is an indictment of the sorry state of our social and moral climate. It's time to get back to some of those "old fashioned values" we got rammed down our throats some years ago. I would never advocate the prudish hypocricy of the early 20th century but things have gone far too much the other way. Children are actively encouraged to grow up too fast and are given far too much freedom. We treat them like adults when they are neither physically nor emotionally capable of being so.

The parent who polices what their child watches on TV, refuses to allow it to dress and behave much older than its years, keeps it on a tight rein and intills in it respect for others and for itself is, in my opinion, a good parent. If only we could persuade Society at large to be as responsible.
