[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 88149"] Back in the day...a group of us then freshmans, went to Planned Parenthood. They gave us a presentation and offered us contraception. I think it was just "being cool" having it, but never had the need to use it. Atleast in my case. I did become a single mother at age 21, but that was due to my own stupidity. Not that I regret it, just wishing the circumstances were different. Talking with difficult child on this subject, (sex ed started way back in grade 2 with minor issues) He knows of many kids who have sex (6 - 8 grades)I tend not to believe it. Think it is more talk than actual activity. But I truly do not know. For that reason, if I had a daughter, I would welcome the opportunity for her to get the professional instruction and advise vs. teen talk and experimenting. I would welcome the opportunity for her to be able to get protection without being afraid to face a parent for consent. Way to many situations in this world where the child fears the parent. Tragically resulting in some teens disposing of the baby after birth. I definatley feared my parents. Even at age 21. in my opinion, dealing with protection is much easier than dealing with termination of pregnancy for all involved. Education from professionals is the best advise. [/QUOTE]
