So far all our aims to try to reduce Teen pregnancies and Sexually transmitted infections has been appalling. You can give out condoms, but who is to say that they will use them for the purpose they were intended.
And Yes, I know that by not giving contraceptives we are asking for trouble....but also by giving condoms it is almost giving permission for what is actually illegal. So I guess it is a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Children(that includes 13 year olds)need to realise that all actions have consequences.......we should stop sexualising 5 year old girls....T shirts that read 'so many boys....so little time' are clearly not appropriate for a five year old.....neither is a bare midriff with low slung pants or skirt...... we are turning children who are little more than babies into tramps/bratz.......then we wonder why we have problems with paedophiles finding these young children sexually attractive.........(and no, I'm not saying the children are to blame - but someone is, and it doesn't take a genius to work it out)..........but don't mind me these are only the narrow views of an old fogey!
