I think that is an important point Gary.
So many young people want to be seen as 'grown up'....and I have no issues with this. If a young person enters into sexual relationships with the full knowledge of the risks they are taking, and does something positive to minimise those risks....then that is evidence that they are grown up.
It seems to me that virginity in both young men and young women is seen as a burden...something to be got rid of. How sad this concept is, that they feel they are not worthy to wait for that someone special.
Meaningless sexual activity is no more than a bit of exercise...a run on a treadmill. How very sad that is.
The concept of being a virtuous virgin at the altar was a disaster for me.
I spent a two year engagement supressing my physical instincts only to be seriously disappointed when they were (not) 'fulfilled'.
The engagement period was so intensely concentrated on controlling the physical, that the other aspects -ie. whether we were compatible in that and other ways, did not surface for consideration.
As it turned out we were incompatable in both, and eventually mutually agreed on divorce.
If I had defied convention and released that 'supression of urges', I would have realised that we were not suited to spend a lifetime together.

NHS outreach workers are out in accrington most nights talking to young people doing tests etc Chlamydia Screening - The National Chlamydia Screening Programme is well underway
with b-sure being the brand name of our local screening programme.
If this target is to be achieved an increase in screening volumes must peak in community
services such as Contraceptive and Sexual Health Services, General Practice and
Pharmacies. A Local Enhanced Service has been developed with funding incentives for
GPs and Pharmacists in an effort to increase screening volumes. Screening will be
targeted through schools and colleges, pubs and clubs, sports clubs and other areas
where young people congregate, building on the lessons learnt

Oh yes it is!
Sorry couldn't resist.
Well I think I have gleaned a cross section of opinion divided between the doubters to the concerned members.
So really if we deny that it's happening,do we really care?
I suppose at the end of the day,the next few years will tell the tale if STD's/STI's are contained and teenage pregnancies plunge.
We should all be concerned though as at the end of the day we foot the bill.

I am questioning the fact that this is being done with young kids well below the age of legal consent.This is without the knowledge of parents who contary to belief might just be concerned enough at what could be termed social engineering.
The fact that these services are being carried out can promote the young to believe that unless you are 'active' you haven't got the street cred.
Iv'e heared young lads boasting(about condoms)'I've got ten...'
A long time ago when I was their age we did this with football cards!
As I said if you are comfortable with this then I guess we can agree to differ.

Tried to picture it, obviously not blessed with your imagination, I just cannot imagine officials of any kind roaming the streets trying to get young children to go with complete strangers to have their genitals tested. That sort of thing would I suspect only be performed in an unofficial capacity by the dirty mac brigade.[/quote]
Sorry but so far you haven't proved a thing, of course as responsible adults we should all care for our young and guard them from harm, but, you are talking, (Less puts on polite mode here), twaddle!
But then? What is new about that?

To prove this you are of course going to put a link in to a site that can confirm such goings on?

Again you are wrong, if you post something in general please make sure it is factual, otherwise anything goes is the section you should aim for.
You put a load of tat on for a first post, the reactions you get could have been better, but your words don't deserve that.
Er first post Less sorry do you mean thread starter?
Every word I have said is true but what the heck.
Everyone else seems to be able to handle the thread in a grown up manner but again thanks for the insults.
I haven't been on the forum for a while now I remember why.
Finally is that really you in the Photo? Suits you sir.

Todays teenagers weren'tborn in her day Mancie, oh sorry GarindaThe 'I want, I want, I want it now' generation.
I blame Thatcher.
First Post:-
Yes I mean thread starter, it was the first post wasn't it?
It may be true but whatever did you do to show that?
Then you ran off in tangents, no proof just your ramblings, not a good start really is it?
As for insults, I have insulted nothing but the lack of facts, I believe you to be an idiot,(no insult intended), but a sincere idiot, (take the insult as it's meant), but, please try harder to put forward a factual thread.
I'm comfortable with kids being educated in the pitfalls of the modern world. What I would like to know is where this event of being approached in the street and given a STD test actually took place.

No, but the generational seed of greed was planted then, and is now bearing fruit.
Who's taking the pee?
Yes, indeed facts rather than fancy.
