ftfa: Walk past her classroom on the first day of sixth grade and you'll hear her leading the students in an enthusiastic chorus of "Penis! Penis! Penis! Vagina! Vagina! Vagina!"



We're gonna be talking about the penis! We will be talking about the VAGINA! Do you think that's funny, Butt-Head? Do you find it amusing that we'll be talking about the TESTICLES?! Yeah, we're also gonna be talking about VENEREAL DISEASE! SEXUAL INTERCOURSE! The SCROTUM! The CLITORUS! And...And we will definitely be spending a lot of time talking about the MASTURBATION!

Must be a lesbian.

I can't think of anyone in my family that got pregnant, or got somebody pregnant, by the age of 16, so I'll say "meh".

/Who needs sex ed? All you need is a mom that would smack the crap out of you if you knocked some chick up. Ohh man, I'm glad my mom never found a my girlfriend in my room.

I am not sure if I should be happy or sad.

There is just no substitute for high standards.

Good for her.
Unfortunately once she turns 18, she'll be on her own financially. If she pooped out a kid, the government would give her a house, and money for clothes, car, food, etc. All she'd have to do is sit on her expanding ass and shoot a kid out every 5 years so she didn't have to go to work.
Once again, the system will fail a kid with a bright future. Sad.

THIS!

My parents both worked low paying labor jobs (they were foreign, never finished high school even). My 3 sisters all graduated college. They got married, had kids. I graduated, didn't get married, and don't have kids. None of us have ever been on any type of public assisstance. Education will never fill in the common sense/basic morals gap that so many of America's youth lack.

eidohntno, you get +11 internets.

THE IRON HYMEN PLEDGE!

I, [MY NAME], hereby pledge:

1. To never let grubby boys touch me - unless it's just fun innocent stuff like tripping me and pulling my hair. (But only the hair on my head!)

2. To never wear trampy stuff like shorts or t-shirts or open-toed shoes, which basically tell horny perverts that I'm a major tramp who's just asking for it.

3. To never do rough stuff like ride horsies or bikes with hard seats, which could break my vagina's freshness seal and make me totally unlovable.

4. To never let tampons violate the sanctity of my hoo-hoo, because tampons are really nothing more than thirsty little albino penises.

5. To never have premarital sex, because Jesus doesn't want anyone messing around inside my girly hole until after His church makes some money off a wedding.

I understand that abstaining from sex protects me from:

Forcing my wonderful parents to use "tough love" and kick me out of the house for embarrassing them by being such a little whore.

Having adoption-hungry homosexuals circle my pregnant belly like vultures, hell-bent on corrupting my unwanted bastard child with their sicko "love."

That's because her father doesn't live at home.

/Does not want your life

Over the past 15 years, teenagers have had less sex than previous generations had, and they have been more likely to use protection when they have had sex.

Time creates false perceptions. There was a lot of teenage sex going on back in the old days because they'd get married at eighteen, have sex on a regular basis, and not use protection because they naturally planned on starting a family.

Time creates false perceptions, as well.

So, I guess no assault with a turkey baster?

Pechorin :None of us have ever been on any type of public assisstance. Education will never fill in the common sense/basic morals gap that so many of America's youth lack.

We were on welfare for a few years when I first moved up here around 1984 to 1985ish. Lived in an apartment.

Then the folks both got better jobs, bought a house, and I'm sure they put in tenfold what they took out.

I personally haven't taken anything, in fact, when I got laid off from my first job, I didn't apply for unemployment (I didn't even know such a thing existed), instead I started working for a temp agency (which actually paid more than the job I had just laid off from).

The rest is history.

Agreed!!

Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to University? Why is Glenys the first woman in her family in a thousand generations to get to university? Was it because all our predecessors were thick?. . . Those people who could sing and play and recite and write poetry? Those people who could make wonderful, beautiful things with their hands? Those people who could dream dreams, see visions? Why didn't they get it? Was it because they were weak? Those people who could work eight hours underground and then come up and play football?

I was thinking as I was coming over here, why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go to a university? Why is it that my wife who is sitting out there in the audience is the first in her family to ever go to college? Is it because our fathers and mothers were not bright? Is it because I'm the first Biden in a thousand generations to get a college and a graduate degree that I was smarter than the rest? .... Those same people who read poetry and wrote poetry and taught me to sing verse? Is it that they didn't work very hard, my ancestors who worked in the coal mines of Northeast Pennsylvania and would come up after 12 hours and play football for four hours?

Ryker's Peninsula: Also, is "STI" the new politically correct version of an "STD"?

I think so, which is stupid.

My rant on this crap, America needs to stop with Sex,Alcohol, etc... equal bad.We create a culture of stress staring when kids are young. It's nearly imposable to tell if a kid under say 12 will be in the future but we set standards like that, if you screw up in 6th grade you'll never get into a 4yr college. We have the Protestant work ethic (work when theres light) plus the light bulb, we are a nation that even when we take vacations we need them to be busy, Disneyland is a good example, instead of stopping to read a book or something.

We only have so few avenues for stress: Sex, Substance, Violence,etc... We build up a stigma around Sex and Drugs while flooding the airwaves with drugs ads and sex filled programing. Then we tell kids these things are bad and create a huge degree of cognitive dissidence in them. Violence on the other hand we glorify and make a more approved form of letting out stress. Then we wonder why even if other nations have more guns per citizen we have more gun deaths.

When kids get older and have to deal with drugs and sex they are scared, their hormones drive them and they are afraid to ask their elders(parents, teachers, etc...) because they have been told the topics are taboo. The way my mom, the social worker, put it is when kids start driving we tell them "Do NOT drink and drive, don't drink, if you do call me, I will come pick you up" or its liking putting on a seatbelt, just cause I have it on does not mean I plan to crash. Condoms and drug education need to be like this, don't but if you do...

Define "Old Days". My Paternal Grandmother was a married mother at the age of 14. She mentioned that it wasn't that uncommon even in the 1940's.

The government needs to promote falcon punches and birth control in my opinion to all teenagers including schools that are faith base and if not, shut them down. As a Republican, we need to have good moral values by doing the right things as having one to two parents on good financial standing because having a kid costs a lot of money.

Exactly. Unplanned pregnancy happened alot in the past. Unwed mothers would be sent away to "spend the summer with Aunt so and so" in BFE. The bastard would be put up for adoption and none would be the wiser. It's just more public now.

My mom got pregnant the first time she had sex with my dad. In her senior yearbook someone actually wrote "Have a good summer and don't get pregnant again!" (She was preggers with my older sister, parents got married and four years later created me. Then my dad got a vasectomy, I like to think the two events were unrelated).

Fast forward 16 years, I made a decision after much thought and planning that I would not lose my virginity till I was 16 years old, and I had a sit-down talk with both parents (divorced by that time)explaining my plans and advising that I would be using birth control. Neither one was happy, but they both recognized that there was nothing they could do to stop me, and preventing me from getting access to oral contraceptives would be a foolish move. My dad told me the story of his sexual history (limited to the two women he had married, plus one woman he had sex with once... poor guy!), and my mom basically said "I can't stop you but I don't like it, don't do it in my house"

I don't regret the choices I made at that time, and I think that education regarding the mechanics of sex and baby-making probably helped me make the wisest choice at the time in order to avoid an unwanted pregnancy. It didn't hurt that I went to a school that had a special program for school-age women who had babies, I saw first-hand every day what they had to deal with just in order to get their high school diploma. They had special classes, and as far as I know didn't truly receive the academic education that the rest of the students in school received. I don't know for sure because I wasn't in the program, but if I understood it correctly they were taught how to care for their babies along with the basics of math and reading skills. I hate to sound like an elitist, but the program available didn't really allow much for curiosity and the expansion of learning. How many of these young women could have gone on to college and carreers if not for the poor choices they made?

I fully applaud efforts to educate young men and women to avoid teen pregnancy and STDs (or STIs to keep up with the current terms). If I hadn't had the education or a clear line of communication with my parents, I can only imagine how drastically my life might have been changed.

Ryker's Peninsula: Also, is "STI" the new politically correct version of an "STD"?

Can an infection really be classified as a disease when it's asymptomatic? Is an HIV infection a disease if it hasn't progressed to AIDS?

From the Mayo Clinic website:

There's a distinct difference between infection and disease. Infection, often the first step, occurs when bacteria, viruses or other microbes enter your body and begin to multiply. Disease occurs when the cells in your body are damaged - as a result of the infection - and signs and symptoms of an illness appear.

The use of "STI" instead of "STD" is more a matter of thoroughness than a matter of "political correctness." Sorry if that offends your tinfoil-hat-wearing sensibilities.

The government needs to stop giving welfare to people who keep popping out children. Problem solved.

My mother volunteers at a pregnancy center. Her chief complaint is that minority subcultures actively disdain condoms. It's a complaint she hears from girls every week...that the men simply refuse to wear them.
Let me tell you, if there is anything that's not macho, it's a thin sheath of material that will most likely prevent pregnancy and the slow the rampant spread of disease. But hey, it's a macho thing. Ya know, like abandoning the girl and child once you've had your fun. But yeah, you're a man.

Flame-on, folks. I'm a flaming liberal (esp. socially). But sometimes the thing speaks for itself. Teen pregnancies and disease are an entrenched social problem that needs to be addressed by the community.

Good luck with that.

fariasrv: The use of "STI" instead of "STD" is more a matter of thoroughness than a matter of "political correctness." Sorry if that offends your tinfoil-hat-wearing sensibilities.

While that may be true, I think people (ok teens) are going to be a lot less concerned with something called and infection vs a disease.

The best way to keep the kids from getting pregnant is to let them marry. Married chicks never put out.

TTownDrunk: The best way to keep the kids from getting pregnant is to let them marry. Married chicks never put out.

Never put out for their husbands that is.

Cindy L Who: While that may be true, I think people (ok teens) are going to be a lot less concerned with something called and infection vs a disease.

If you are educated properly to know what HSV-1/2, AIDS, etc... do the naming scheme won't matter. If you instead say, if you have sex outside of a monogamous straight relationship you're going to die its a different story
