i'm not 100% sure where i stand on this. part of me says abstinence should be taught (that's my upbringing speaking), but w/ attention paid to alternatives such as contraception & birth control, etc. i'd love to think that all parents would be responsible and teach their kids about the rights and wrongs, etc., but the fact of the matter is, a very good number (i'm not sure whether to say the majority, or just the minority) won't be so responsible.

I agree! Abstinance should be taught in schools,if it is then maybe the amount of 14 year old girls with babies would become fewer. I think that parents should talk to their kids about it and let them know the risks before they find them out for themselves and its to late to take it back.

I'm so glad that I'm choosing to wait and remane abstanite!
