Yeah, abstinence only ... LOL ... because if we don't tell them, they won't find out. Any adult who believes in that after Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston - not to mention their own childhood - is just being willfully naive and argumentative for the sake of hearing their own voice.

*G* Something like what my Mom did---told me the facts and added "don't expect your father and I to fly you to Aruba if you get yourself knocked up' (Obviously, this was pre-1973). Then my cousin did exactly that and got married at 17. Seeing her put aside all her dreams for the future was a very practical lesson in "no glove, no love".

Abstinence is disingenuous BS idiot adults pat themselves on the back for. Information is key. *G*

I think there's such a thing as TOO liberal when it comes to certain things, especially kids having sex. As I told Neo above, check out these comments (http://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/626010.html?thread=555234138#cmt555234138) when you get a few minutes. Yes, it might be teenagers making the "BAD SLUT-SHAMER!" comments there, but I've gotta tell you, when I was 14, I would have said pretty much the same thing I say now. Which is, "Are you on crack?"

Yeah...I would have too (mostly on principal that adults telling you something's 'bad' at 14 tends to prompt the curiosity response and the irresistible adolescent need to be contrary at all times. *G* Goes along with never smiling for family photographs and reacting violently if someone opens the bathroom door by mistake on ya.) *snickers* Yeah, I remember 14---it's not a fun age! ROFLMAO!
