Tom Barret would like to expand birth control coverage to?

Birth control at that age is an excuse to not educate and assume responsibility of proper teaching and guidance. Some time back, I spoke to a 13 year old girl whom had become frightened that she had gotten pregnant by her boyfriend who is 17. She had decided she was going to have him punch her in the stomach to loose the baby so she didn't have to tell her parents.

THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE! Now before you say, "Hatred, you're just proving the point. " Not so fast, chucklehead.

She is 13 and dating a 17 year old. She is, obviously, having sex. She is unwilling to tell her parents.

And when I asked why, she said because she would get grounded. This is a fine example of absent parenting. Her sense of personal welfare is askew.

Safety, barely existent. Trust in her parents to take care of her, questionable. Value of another life beyond her own, vague.

She is the product of the people who raise her. Adding the knowledge that she could have sex without getting pregnant just might be the green light she needs to become the school slut! Parents say, "I'm keeping my kids safe."

Kids say, "My parents are already aware I would have sex or they wouldn't give me this. So they don't mind. " People should stop going after the damn 'easy switch' every time.

Birth control? Hell no! How about good parenting!

How about being there for them when they need it. Even if you work all the time, don't be an ass because your day was long and you want to finally have a break! Parenting is a full time job.Be there for your kids what little you can (ie- EVERYTIME your around them).

It's tough, it's hard, but it's nothing that hasn't been done before.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
