People kill their children for attention? I sure hope that's not what you were trying to say. That's just foolish.
The reason that parents don't want to talk to their children about birth control is because they are worried about their little child growing up and being an adult. Parents are not the quickest to jump when Johnny isn't a baby anymore. They hear about the dangers of sexuality and want to protect their child from it by sheltering him or her. Instead they are doing the most damage.
Also, many parents don't even know about sexual health and contraception! I'm sure at some point in your life you've been exposed to the conservative christian thinking and the 'evils of birth control' or heard stories about fathers finding out their daughters are on 'the pill' and the police are called on domestic violence! Or the many irresponsible parents that would rather be a friend to Johnny than tell him "don't have sex but, if you do use condoms because..."
Parents can not be responsible to be the number one educator on sexual health. They are not responsible for education in English, History, Science, Mathematics ect. What needs to happen is schools need to start giving better sexual health classes. There needs to be a class about these things. Just the facts. Leave the morals to the parents if parents so choose. Telling young Johnny and Kimmy the facts isn't going to make them want to have sex. They are 14 and they already want sex and will do it either way. That's human behavour for you.

I get frustrated with how many teens do have children. I know that accidents happen, but my mother always told me to come to her if I ever made the decision to have sex. She said it was my choice and she would provide me with condoms and get me put on birth control. I always had an open relationship with my mom and I plan on doing the same thing for my children. I had my first child at 18 and I wasn't ready, but I do everything possible to provide for my child. It was an accident(I was raped), but could not bear the thought of killing my child or giving her up.
Maybe the teens that are having children so early are from parents that also had their children early. Maybe the parents don't want to admit that their child could be having sex. Maybe the parents weren't able to have a honest, down to earth talk with their parents, so they don't know how to approach their children. These are just theories, I don't know what's really going on with them. I just hope that they learn from this and that they get on birth control and take proper precautions if they plan on having sex. I hope that they learn from their experience and provide birth control options for their children so they don't have to miss out on their childhood like they will. I mean no offense to teen moms, it's just that I don't understand why some bring more then one child(unless it's twins) into the world under the age of 18.

All we can do is talk. its not much action we can do besides taking an active role in our kids' lives and talk to them. Even though we tell them all the risks of being sexually active it might seem hyprocritical to turn around and say there are methods that will lower the risks such as birth control and protection against STDs. Whats better and teenager thats having sex and not being able to protect themselves because they know where they can get it or about it or a teenager whos having sex but is having safe sex? think about it. And taking an active role in our kids' lives gives them something to do that we know of (hint hint; less time to have sex) and hopefully all the time you guys spent together would help the child trust the parents more enough to talk to.

I'm not sure if this is really an answer to your question but I know me personally that I am going to put my daughter on birth control once she starts her peroid just incase she decides to go behind my back and do something stupid. And I am not talking about the pill or shot I am talking about something she can't just stop taking I would look into the IUD or something long term!!!

Because putting our children on birthcontrol kinda makes them think we are encouraging sex!!! Plus how does that protect them against stds????//
