If worried bout teen pregnancies, why say schools giving depro injections /condom checks is anti human rights?

Question

If worried bout teen pregnancies, why say schools giving depro injections /condom checks is anti human rights.

Ie treating pregnancy no different to TB, polio, measiles etc with 3 monthly injections unless the kid reacted then the next best alternative. Organised in schools.. So no forgetting and making sure its on time.

Or Working out between parents and school to see the pill is always taken at the right time the moring is no good as teen sleep in in the morning on weekends which can disrupt them.

Plus as soon as teenas are noted to be couples up they have to show they are carrying condoms at all time (even if not used... better to have and not need then need and not have) with detentions for not carrying.

Also a way of teaching responsible behavour and to highlight the risks in sex constantly.


Therefore full control on the teen reproduction to prevent it.

Human rights...

You seen the truma & damage early pregnancy does?

But absteinance is not a cure either

Growing up means developing realtionships skills and maturity best done in relationships.

Ie learn pool with a pool table.

So they can develop emotionally with in the support of parents and teachers.


But with control against babies as much as possible with reinforcing of the message of what interfeers with the pill...

Not 100% perfect but shed loads better then anything else...


Why wouldn't you ... you want your kid pregnant?

Other then bad side effects

************

No to sex = frustration hurt upset lonliness.

You dont develop social and emotional relationship skills like your peers.


if a guy you become needy so no girl will touch you, no realtionship so no marriage

You turn nurdy, no friends...

Less likly to find work as social skills less developed say in sales or interviews...


Think how easy it is for girls to seel things to boys by flirting or manipulating.

or understanding...

And is it not better for experiences to occur when you can run home to mum or parents can stop things getting out of hand...


Then you in a different city, on your own...

Trying to work things out in bars where you have 2 seconds to make a good impression ... As opposed to a school full of those your age, similar level of exp, more forgiving and you can spend time to develop getting to know each other first.

Plus relationships then are more intense when everything is new and music means so much.

**************

The idea is not to say kids are immoral sluts.


Its to put a safety net in place

Kids are young and like anyone trying something new most likly to mess it up the first few times so the idea is to pu in place a system already there when it does occur. Especailly things just happen in the heat of passion... or alchohol.

its like putting life jackets on all in a yacht. You are not palnning on ending up in the water but its smart to have the jackets incase the boob accidently hits you or the boat capszies in a freak wind...


Not all things are planned. feeling sjust take over often... and this way the system is already there for the first few times till you get used to it...



its like pregnancy is an evil desease that needs innoculation from...



its not good after you get infected

*****


Likewise if a parent I would rather the kid got the help it needed even if I was the last to know.

*******************

And yes in perfet perfect land all parents would be open and informative to kids but this is planet earth and most are not plus you have the relgious freaks and those who still see their 16 year old with double d boobs and nickname bike or vacume as a 6 year old kid who they think likes skipping and would never be into boys

**************************************

Jade I take it you want to be a grannie...

The point of looking over shoulder to make sure pills are used and condoms carried is as sex drives arrive before being grown up and you need to learn to be grown up.

Whilst doing that you need support till old enough to handle it yourself...

Thats why you dont let 14 year olds in bars or let them handle guns...

But its necessary for them to grow up (sex)

So no different to holding a kids hand till learns to cross the road unaided.

Plus its better you dont have the choice to have a baby age 15.

Plus as learning about peroids etc is good. Not having a baby ruin you leanring all your other subjects surely is more important...

You say you want choice... er waht choice getting pregnant age 15?
Or the choice of STDS?

Answer 1

I didn't read all of that, but I read the first part. And some of the answers. No matter what anyone thinks or says, here is the fact of the matter: they are going to do it, whether you like or approve of it or not. So why not be safe than sorry? I know parents have the right to be involved in their child's life, yes you are right. But lets have a reality check, your child doesn't tell you everything. Especially the stricter parents. I just like the fact that if young people are going to do it, they can get protection. I think the free birth control/contraseptives from planned parenthood and health clinics is great. At least they are being smart enough to get those things. Which would you rather have......a child who has a child....or a child who was smart enough to be safe instead of sorry....???? Personally, I'd rather have a smart child that doesn't have a kid or STD........Schools know this.....and I think it's great if they offer free protection. Some kids are too scared or w/e to go to a store and buy condoms, or go to the clinic and get birth control....now although myself and many will agree if that's the case they aren't mature or responsible enough to be having sex....the fact still remains, they are going to do it......so I'm glad that they can get free protection so that there's a better chance they will use it. Parents just have to get in the game here and catch a clue.....you don't and will never know everything your child does.....it's like that phone commercial....your child isn't going to give you a play by play of everything they do everyday.....just be a good parents, teach them right from wrong, teach them things they need to know....and pray they act responsibly. That's all you can do.

Answer 2

The reason is because we are the parents and have the right to know what is going on in our childs life. Many things have consecuences like side effects of medications short and long term. We are supposed to teach them values at home and enough trust so that when we send them out into the world they don't make these stupid mistakes. But since we are imperfect I think that it should be offered at schools as you say but with parental notification and consent and a meeting with the guidance counselor and school psychologist. Also a course should be mandatory were high school students should have to spend a week at a home for teen moms and have to live as one that week with no help. Also a hospital with people dying of aids. Teens only respond to live experiences and I believe that if they live it for themselves this will effect the way they act. Hither they will think before they act.

Answer 3

i say an open relationship between parent and their kids would prevent most teen pregnancies. i would have been furious if told i had to get depo in school. i had boyfriends but never sex. it shouldnt be forced on kids who arent having sex its not right. therefore not really the schools place to require it. its the parents job to teach and watch their kids every single move not a school teacher

Answer 4

Thats a little extreme dont you think. I think the problem lies with contraceptives not being easily accessible. Young women dont know where to turn when they are young and are too embarassed and scared to ask their parents. I think it would be important for the government to set up a program for teens to be able to go to a clinic and recieve free contraception.

Answer 5

damn thats a long ?

if the parents agreed to it i don't think it would be that bad. It is a lot better than taking care of a kid at 14

Answer 6

i think all males should have vasectomies before puberty, and once 18 can opt to have it reversed. it would be much easier since they would only get it reversed if they were actually ready to have children. but i think the reversal should be screened just as gastric bypass to make sure they are doing it for the right reasons ~~~

Answer 7

Let me start by pointing out that using hormonal birth control is going to have the opposite effect to dealing with the problem of teen pregnancy and underage sex, the reason for these things primarily comes from ignorance about their bodies.

Depo and other hormonal methods suppress a girls/women's natural menstrual cycles, it is an excessive form of birth control with many side effects, some of which are not discussed with patients (such as nesting which would make girls and women more likely to want to get pregnant), it would add to the hormones already whizzing through a girls body and on top of that of course it prevents girls learning about their bodies and menstrual cycles at a point where it is most important to do so.

We already live in a culture that sees hormonal birth control as some sort of magic solution, it has taken away the reproductive freedom of many women as those who choose not to use hormonal methods are belittled and even refused treatment, as well as this doctors use such methods as a way to cover up reproductive and sexual health problems of girls and women – putting this onto girls will further this problem causing a lot more issues in the future.

It is a girls choice what birth control she uses, enforcing the idea that she should shut her body up and suppress her cycles than learn and deal with both her menstrual cycle and reproductive freedom in her own way and at her own time when she is educated to do so is a breach in human rights – I myself feel betrayed that at 16 I was put on the pill by my GP with no discussion, no alternatives, no choice, and that now at 23 I have to constantly battle with doctors refusing me treatment because I refuse to mess up my body with hormonal methods – if I had been put into a situation like this at school I would be looking for some serious payback for it's effect on my health, well-being and it's anti-choice attitude.

Teenage girls should not be on hormonal birth control unless they are suffering from health problems such as endometriosis that would require treatment of this sort to prevent excruciating pain. The idea of putting teenage girls on hormonal birth control for any other reason is ignorant and detrimental to the sexual and reproductive health of girls – putting girls onto depo or similar would not solve the problem.

If teenagers are having sex then they should be responsible enough to take care of their own birth control, if they are not then they should not be having sex – period – looking over them taking the pill like we would look over infants taking their medication is idiotic, it isn't just a matter of breaching human rights but also failing children miserably by going for a quick fix rather than addressing the problem in hand – that problem being poor childrearing and poor sex education. If girls are giving hormonal birth control from school age, both boys and girls are given condom supervision from school age, how do you expect them to cope when they are adults and they are faced with having to take this responsibility for themselves and when they are faced with sexually transmitted diseases, infertility, hormonal disruption (commonly from hormonal birth control), sexual dysfunction, the simple matter than males and females have sex differently – answer : EDUCATION – that is how we deal with the problem of teen pregnancy.

ENFORCING HORMONAL BIRTH CONTROL AND CONDOM USE IS A BREACH OF HUMAN RIGHTS, ANTI-CHOICE, UNHEALTHY, UNEDUCATED AND IRRESPONSIBLE.
