Yeah, this no sex ed in the schools is really working out well.
A growing number of teenage girls say they use the rhythm method of birth control, and more teens also said it is all right for an unmarried female to have a baby, according to a government survey released Wednesday.
About 17 percent of sexually experienced teen girls told researchers for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that they had used the rhythm method — timing their sex to avoid fertile days to prevent getting pregnant. That figure is up from 11 percent in a similar survey in 2002.
And then there’s this:
The students at school-sponsored dances, he told them, weren’t exactly doing the fox trot.
“There would be a tight cluster of students . . . and in the center we had no idea what was going on,” said Susan Nolen, copresident of the Parent Teacher Group and mother of two students at Penncrest. “Clearly, there was inappropriate touching; that was obvious during the cleanup of the dances.”
Whoa – wait. What?
“The custodial staff were,” Nolen explained, uneasily, “cleaning bodily fluids off the floor.”
The parents were speechless, too.
Teaching sexual abstinence to teenagers… Ha! Where do people get these ideas???!!!
@19, you were lucky.
#16 “Otherwise all you have is “Just say no.””
I never got anyone pregnant who said no to me.
“How can you post against the very idea you demonstrate?”
What? That sex education doesn’t work for preventing STDs and pregnancies. That is self evident. Learning about abstinence or contraceptives doesn’t really prevent anything. I can learn all about contraceptives and abstinence that there is to know, but if I go out and have unprotected truck stop sex with strangers I might get the girl pregnant or get an STD.
You must practice what you are taught be it abstinence or contraception usage. I don’t have truck stop sex so I never got a disease or caused a pregnancy from actions taking place with strangers at truck stops. Abstinence works in that case because I practice abstinence and just don’t learn it and ignore the rules.
However if I really had to have sex with someone and didn’t want to get her pregnant I would use contraception.
#13 “How did those enlightened teens give way to a generation of Catholics???”
“That’s what being a Protestant’s all about. That’s why it’s the church for me. That’s why it’s the church for anyone who respects the individual and the individual’s right to decide for him or herself. When Martin Luther nailed his protest up to the church door in fifteen-seventeen, he may not have realised the full significance of what he was doing, but four hundred years later, thanks to him, my dear, I can wear whatever I want on my John Thomas..” – from Monty Python and the Meaning of Life
Unless the floor is awfully crowded tell them not to clump and send adults through to break up clumps. Since they don’t want you anywhere near them they won’t clump to the point they attract the adults or at least the smart ones don’t.
Of course they have to believe the the adults will actually enforce the rules. If they think you’re a door mat they’ll test you.
It sounds like the adults playing admin are more naive than the students.
Benji–I’ll just lump you together with Anon for being able to even understand what you post yourself.
Education. Its a terrible thing to waste.
#25 How about we just teach dancing in gym class like we used to and let them learn ballroom and salsa. Then play that kind of music at school dances instead of hip hop. Hip hop encourage students to grind. Not ballroom or salsa.
@deowll
If you work (teaching or administrating) in a school system you are by definition not the sharpest tool in the shed.
We should also ban jazz and rock music.
I have been trying to get pregnant for 2 years but nothing has happened. I am getting pretty down that I haven’t become pregnant yet…I always figured it would be SUPER easy to get pregnant, but now I see that is not true. Help me please…
Here’s a news flash for high schools: the vast majority of people that go to dances want to get laid by meeting someone at the dance. They don’t really want to dance. Shocking I know. Yes, there are some people that “just want to dance” and for that we have theatre and dance. A percentage obviously just want to dance but most see it as a means to an end: to hookup with someone. If someone told you as a HS student about a party where there was no booze (but there are people that will demand breathalyzers tests), no drugs and no suggestive dancing (all enforced), you’d think you were in Utah. Might as well dish out Jello while they are at it.
#12 There WAS Sex Ed 50 years ago. They called it “Health” to meet the standards of the time.
Tight-knit groups so you couldn’t see what they’re doing.
Sounds like bukkake to me. A japanese import I never expected to become popular.
