[QUOTE="Rotsne, post: 223820, member: 6326"] The number of pregnancies among teens below 18 dropped dramatically, when the department of education here in Denmark introduced mandatory education about sex and related topic in form 4 (agegroup 10-11). Not only did it manage to keep the avarage age for the first intercourse on 17.5 years which is quiet remarkable in a time where sex are used to sell almost every item and the media speaks of unruly teens, it is also about to wipe out our population because the average age of a mom giving birth to first child is 29.2 years, which have proven to be too old if the number of kids per mom needed to reproduce our population (2.3) should be reached. The total number of people living here have dropped a little for the 5 last years. They are about to invent sexual education for children in Kindergarten, which actually is hard because it has to be done in a language which kids in that agegroup can understand but they shouldn't be scared. Teenage pregnancies are so rare that we actually have a documentary called "young moms" running on our TV's. I believe that information reduce unwanted pregnancies. Not by any scared straight, but showing what it means, so the teens knows where to stop. (We have no anti-hugs and kiss policy in our schools. We have first graders coming into school giving their "girl-friend" or "boy-friend" a kiss. It is actually rather sweet.) [/QUOTE]
