Totally stupid. Even stupider was the Christian school I went to that also failed to provide any sex education other than "wait until you're married." I lived in a bubble.<br /><br />Even though I support women in their right to make decisions about their own bodies, I think utilizing Plan B and abortions for those "oops" experiences is irresponsible. I agree, parents and women of reproductive age: Get with it!

You are the third m...First off I gotta say Breeze? You are the third most rockin' woman on the planet (Of course my girl and Kerrie are numbers #1 and #2 respectively). My ex-wife was on the pill and took it without fail only later to find out her system had an immunity to it for some reason. So yes her first child was unexpected... Actually first two were like that because doctors put her on new pills and the same thing happened. I agree with you Breeze to a point...<br /><br />However, part of the problem here is what our children are taught. The 70s was an era of self gratification and sex became a leisure activity and not an act of procreation. People need to spend more time around the barnyard. Do you see bulls running around in double knot polyester saying "How you doin'?" to the cows? NO! In the animal kingdom, it is strictly procreation for the sake of the species, not because the bull saw a sexy heifer and wanted to get his rocks off.<br /><br />Now back to my point. All of us here are responsible parents. We are careful about what our kids watch and are involved in their development very actively. That said, we are about 5% of the parenting populous. In this age of nannies and au peres, children aren't being raised by mommy and daddy and are being educated by their friends or in the worst case, the au pere chetaing with daddy. The rest are left with a cable remote and a creen and god knows what those little unsupervised eyes see.<br /><br />True story: When I worked with Kerrie, I had two roommates and we shared a huge old house on Rockhill Road. I was keeping my 10 year old nephew one weekend. I'm sitting at my desk on the phone and I feel a tap on the shoulder, it's my roommate Liz, in a towel ticked off because my "darling" nephew was just caught peeking at her through the bathroom keyhole. When I confronted him with what and asked why, the reply was a media bolt from heaven...<br /><br />"I saw it in the movie '48 Hours'. It isn't wrong is it?"<br /><br />No, I do not blame the media because they entertain a very wide spectrum of people. I blame parents who ignore the power the media has over young minds.Sean Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01411681336790792723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915703366269834950.post-26444015431466666702009-09-18T09:24:42.546-05:002009-09-18T09:24:42.546-05:00I've seen it time and time again..people gener...I've seen it time and time again..people generally learn from their own life decisions and mistakes. They can be inspired and motivated by people they admire but beyond that, ya don't know until ya know...<br /><br />In other words we can support people and we should, but they ultimately can only save themselves.<br /><br />BreezeCarolyn R.

It cracks me up but also makes so much sense! I totally agree. It should not be a shock that a person ends up pregnant after having sex! <br /><br />It's not just the young girls though. When I worked in a pregnancy center I thought I would see lots of teens coming in for the free pregnancy tests. Nope, they were mostly closer to 30 and none of them used anything for protection!! I was like, WOW! We need some serious fertility training and it would help starting to teach them young! Yes, ladies, if you open your legs, you might get pregnant!! <br /><br />And yes, no birth control is 100% guarantee which might be a good thing to point out BEFORE you encourage a young person to use it!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446519726166504505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-915703366269834950.post-46454315081450353392009-09-18T06:57:35.857-05:002009-09-18T06:57:35.857-05:00So you believe in abstinence?
