[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Young teens having sex is not healthy.[/quote]

Nonetheless, there are young teens who have sex. Not many, but some. Which is better for their health?

Option 1: it would be better if they weren't having sex, but given that they are, they also have access to contraception and STI testing/treatment
Option 2: it would be better if they weren't having sex, even though they are, therefore they should have no access to contraception and STI testing/treatment[/quote]

What is best for their health is to give their parents the knowlege they need to protect them from themselves.

At 13 year old having sex is clearly demonstrating they lack the awareness, judgement, and ability to make decisions necessary to keep themselves safe, and do not possess the ability to do things with any regard for their own well being.  A child making that stupid of a decision does not have the rational intelligence necessary to take care of herself should she develop and STD or complications from an abortion.  These are decisions that affect the rest of her life, and a kid who is deemed too young by the law to tattoo her own body, drive a car, take her own tylenol or midol at school or sign herself out of school on a whim, along with a whole host of other things, does not have the ability or maturity to free reign manage her own sex life.  Additionally, if they are having sex at 13 they are more likely than not being taken advantage of by someone who does not have their best interest in mind.

Keeping it from their parents is irresponsible and not in the best interest of the child.[/quote]
