well i graduated in o5' and the views of these "younger" people are the views of people around my age and that was considered normal in high school and yes i have seen the teen pregnancies, it was considered ok at our school and the girls would just go to a special program school called program 6 so you can finish school in like half the time, my best friend was pregnant at 17 and it sucks now b/c she can't be 19, but you know i'm there for her no matter what and i don't think anything different of her, i just wish she would have protected herself, but I think it has a lot to do with the parents, my parents told me to tell them as soon as i needed to go get on BC, and she lived with just her dad and little sister, and he was more like don't see it it's not happening

I've known a few girls in my hs that got pregnant. I personally think hs is too young to have kids, but that's probably because I was a "late" learner when it came to sexual escapades, but I've always been ready to accept the consequences of my actions, hence my feelings towards sex, and one-nighters and that crap. Basically don't do it if you're not willing to accept the responsibility (both physical and mental)

The problem for many of these girls is that they don't have any idea what the extent of those responsibilities are until they already have baby.
I'm 37 and I still need my parents for things. When I had my spinal surgery I needed a ride to and from the hospital and someone to stay with me for the first week. The responsibility doesn't turn off at 18. It's a life-long commitment. And if you want to do it right then it's very hard work.

Better education is what is needed and if the parents won't do it I believe the schools should. In drivers ed they show you a movie of a drunk driving accident. They should also show some of the consequences that come with this. Including real photos of diseases and such. I confess I don't know exactly what they show in health these days but the little sketches in our books really didn't bring it home. I know many will disagree and say the schools have no business teaching this but obviously if it is on the rise the parents are not doing a very good job.

Some parents and religious organizations have issues with teaching sex in schools, but I think it's important. Screaming for abstaining is not the answer.

Just keep telling yourself that X. And I agree, your avatar is in poor taste.

Exactly! Abstainence would be great but we have to be realists. Some kids will wait, others will not. By not educating them about the consequences and the ways to "protect" themselves is a fools game. If I saw real pictures of genetalia with puss filled sores I would think twice about doing any of it.
or at least be REALLY drunk

Hmmm,
I did not have sex...
I did not have sexual relations...
Sorry, anon, but I see no difference. I'm sorry if I left out one word in my recollection of Bill Clinton's speech, but I certainly haven't memorized them, as you appear to have. Certainly not twisting any words, as he said it, not me.

Please explain the 'poor taste comment.' It's simply a reminder of a real event - it should be on TV every night. So many people have virtually forgotten - especially the democrats. Does it hurt to be reminded?

Actually, abstaining is the only answer. If girls would just say no - they could change the world: no more abortions, no more welfare problems, no more food stamps. Sex at a young age is behind all the ills on earth - starvation, low-income or no income over generations, etc.
So, young ladies - just say no.
or if guys could just keep it in there pants and not tempt these young ladies you are talking about. That might help too, huh?
Careful of your audience or who you are responding to. Some are more tempting than others.

LOL I've been there, Ron. Men aren't the only ones who roll over the next morning and find something interesting on the pillow next to them.
And, on occasion, something really strange looking.

I think showing the plane actually crashing into the tower is the same as showing people being gunned down in the street. If you want to remember 9/11 that's great, but there are other ways to do it without showing the murder of thousands of people.

You also need to teach the young men to not ask or expect it. The young men need to use condoms, quit passing diseases and be more responsible.
So, young men - take some responsibility too!

Yes, it hurts to be reminded of people dying in unimaginable pain and fear. Especially as this is just one in a long chain of avatars which you have used to provocate. These people died and you're using the moment of their demise as a form of entertainment; you're using it as a political "gotcha". That's why it's in poor taste, you miserable, sad human being.
