We have an obligation to inform our you...Well said. We have an obligation to inform our youth of all that sex involves - both positive and negative. Now, I would assume that in this discussion, when it came to birthcontrol and staying STD's, we'd start with abstinence and then work our way through all the various information from conception, through abortion and the various effects, through STD's of all kinds to all the different forms of birth control. You're correct about needing to provide information but my experience is we either do one, abstinence, or the other, various forms of birth control and STD's, instead of taking a middle ground and providing complete information and discussing the effects, without being alarmists or fear-mongers, of sex. In order to allow you youth to have the best possible chance, we need to give them all the options, discuss them and provide options so that they can make their lifestyle choices with, hopefully, having a good knowledge of the consequences and, if necessary, the information to seek help if the need arises.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
