Condoms.

I left an Accrignton High School this summer and in 5 years there NEVER received a single sex-ed/awareness lesson, we were expected to know everything through biology and r.e!

I've read this again, and morality aside this is disgraceful. So young people in state schools are being taught the rudiments of reproduction, but absloutely nothing about having respect for your body, and how you can protect themselves in a loving relationship/marriage.

No wonder under sixteen year old pregnancy is so high in this country.

I'm so angry I feel like asking Vitty if I can write the next 'It really makes my blood boil' column.;)
 
What is so stupid was that nearly twenty years ago there was a massive public health drive about this.

What the powers that be have failed to realise is that it is a message that has a potential new audience every year, and needs to get through to every new generation.

Although HIV can be somewhat controlled by combination drug therapies, it is still an incurable and ultimately fatal condition.

go for it rindy if you feel that strongly ask the man. i always say god loves a trier.
 
Ironic really that now aids can be "battered" a bit into easing off that the next STD that could cause major problems is ignored until its too late or until a panic sets in.

the quote i live by!!!
mi mam says im very trying :D

back on topic though; i think the govt. unnecessarily skirt around the issues of AIDS and HIV; have you ever heard Tony Blair mention raising NHS funds to help the research into these malicious diseases? i certainly havent...

The sad, and crazy thing is that under pressure, the last Pope issued a statment, because of many deaths in Catholic countries, saying that condoms could be used but they had to have a hole in the end [not the hole your winky goes in, the other end,] because life is precious.

Life is precious, if you are dieing of it as well.
 
They have warnings about puppies as presents about them being for a life time not just christmas. Why can this not be pushed for the teenage pregnancy issue. For some its a life of ease as the stae pays for everything maybe that should stop as well. All this hassle can be avoided with a pack of 3 or 2 if from a pub vending machine.

someone needs to tell the Pope a quote i read by a certain Mr Hendrix
"Once you're dead, you're made for life"


(dont quite fully get it myself but its interpretable)

It could even help with the health of the nation, as I believe they are even available in 'fruit' flavours.;)
