[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is definitely very conservative OP.
What you have to watch for is the 6th and 7th grade health class. They discuss sex trafficking and forced heroin use.
So depressing and shocking.[/quote]

I grew up in a very Christian town/household, and kids were having oral sex by seventh grade.   It is early for some kids but late for many, so the school has to start then. [/quote]

I had a pregnant classmate in 7th grade. It is so so late to start talking about these things! [/quote]

A friend told me there was a pregnant seventh grader last year at her middle school.  I was surprised and asked my HS son about his middle school and he said he knew of two who got pregnant while he was there.  Probably similar at all schools, but so people don't assume it's those 'other' kids, these were both W school feeders.[/quote]
