Does anyone tell their kids about safe sex at all???.....?

Question

I don't know if anyone has noticed all the young girls on here!! Asking the stuipdest questions ever!! Like, "I have'nt had my period for two months, is there anything I could be besides pregnant?" OMG!! Where are these girls' mothers'? I feel sorry for these kids!! Do they not have sex ed any more!!?? Teaching absitnence is'nt working people!! How can we cut down teen pregancy? What can we do?

Answer 1

It is not that parents and teachers are not TRYING to teach the children, it is that the children are not listening. Not only that, but what parent really wants to admit their 13 year old child is having sex? It is a terrible and sad truth. Most teens have a hard time talking to the parents about the possibility of being pregnant, because they have to admit their faults. And I do agree that some parents are turning a blind eye to the fact that it is a possibility that their child is doing some growing up, behind thier backs.

I think I was lucky in my growing up years, because I never had a problem talking to my parents about anything, and sex was also not a taboo topic. But regardless of the talking, and the open door policy, I still went and had sex at a way too early age.

I agree that teaching abstinance is not working, it never did. How do these people think that they can teach a child about something and then say, "No, you can't have it". It is like anything out there, if you wave a candy bar in front of their noses and told them, "You can't have this until you are older," then chances are pretty good that they will be GETTING the candy bar by whatever means necessary.

To prevent children having children, the only thing I can think of is to have some form of birth control, (whether it be condoms, IUD, the pill, the shots, or even the patches,) more readily available to the children. You see, most people thing if it is ignored, then it wont happen. Somehow, the world needs to change it's way of thinking on this one. Nothing will change until people like you and I speak up and say, "ENOUGH, get your heads outta your heinies and listen to us!"

I hope someone reads this post, as maybe by our standing up, someone will listen... but to be honest with you, we need to do more!

Answer 2

Alot of these kids do not have parents who takes the time to talk to them because they are so busy with they own lives not noticing that they young children is growing up.

I have a 14 year old son and I talk to him about everything because he needs to know. I even tell him about girls and he also knew alot because they did teach him at school.

Some of these young ladies should know about it because the schools teach them and if they do not know about it, I believe they was not at school the day that it was being thought.

Answer 3

I agree with you!!!!
I'm married and the only sex talk I got from my mother was 'Don't let anyone touch you!' lol but hey, it worked!
I'm glad I had sex ed in school - it was very informative. I didn't start having sex until I was married - so I don't get those people who are like 'omg sex ed makes kids have sex' that's so untrue!

Answer 4

My 14 yo daughter knows....doesn't mean she'll do it...she has access to condoms(no questions asked)if needed. But that doesn't mean that she'll use them.

Where are these girl's mother's...up until this year..I was working....no I finally have the luxury of staying home and being a parent and a wife....children have been abandoned by both their parents from the time they are babies....what else can we expect......20 min of 'quality' time doesn't cut it.....life is so busy now because we've made it so so what else can we expect?

Answer 5

Um my parents taught absitnence and it worked. But then with absitnence, my mother took a general stance that we shouldn't hesitate to ask her for birth control (my father is a different story). Both my parents have seen the consequence of pre martial sex (my Mom was 24 when they got married and several months pregnant) so they really are just trying to do what is best for us. So I think that is the best policy, preach absitnence, but do offer birth control.

Answer 6

i am 16 and my mother was always so scared to talk to me about that kind of stuff because she was no better at my age. I guess she thinks that she would be a hypocrite if she did. That was unfortunate on my part because i lost mine when i was 14 to an almost stranger. now that i have definitely learned my lesson i try to talk openly to my 12 almost 13 year old sister about things she needs to know because my mom won't do it. I encourage parents to talk to their kids about it. it should be a choice and not wanting to do it because it is a little uncomfortable is the stupidest thing i have ever heard.

Answer 7

Well all WE can do is take care of our own .........my twins school teaches sex ed at intervals according to how well age wise the kids can comprehend and the parents have the right to say no..........I think is a great program but I don't think it is mandatory as part of school curriculum yet.......very unfortunate! And girls tend to ask other girls before asking parents about these things!

Answer 8

I know what you mean I see it to. I have thought long and hard over that one. I don't think all the blame should go on the girls though, THE GUYS ARE THE ONES WITH THE PECKERS!!! They should have the protection. As the old saying goes no glove no love.

Answer 9

Parents have to tell their children about sex early in their youth. It is important for them to know so they get the true meaning and not from other kids.

Answer 10

Teach self respect. Teach them what they have to offer and that they don't need to have sex to feel important or loved. Get them to volunteer their time with young children.
