[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child is a girl, I'd start birth control soon.

If he's a boy, I'd give him condoms even sooner.[/quote]

The Planned Parenthood answer to everything.[/quote]

Would you prefer she get pregnant?  Or he get an STD?  Teaching young teens how to prevent these things is the only solution.  If you hate abortion, you should be leading the charge for comprehensive sex ed and easy access to birth control.  It is the ONLY thing shown to prevent unwanted pregnancies and thus abortions.[/quote]

You act like all teens *must* have sex.[/quote]

You are clearly only hearing what you want to hear. If a teen is going to be sexually active, short of actually locking them in the house, there is literally nothing that their parents can do to prevent it. What they CAN do is not freak out about mundane sexual activity like kissing and provide information about birth control to kids who are clearly already exploring, along with conversation about why it is a good idea to wait until they get older to take it any further.

Providing birth control does not CAUSE sexual activity. It prevents sexual activity from having lasting consequences, though.[/quote]
