Cutting Teen Pregnancy
The Observer | UK News | Oral sex lessons to cut rates of teenage pregnancy
While this finding that oral sex reduces the likelihood of pregnancy among teens, should such behavior actually be taught in schools?!
The social conservative inside me is crying out in pain when I read that article, even though its findings may be correct.
Parents should be the ones to make the decision on whether or not their kids know about condoms, oral sex, etc. It's their job to have the birds and bees talk, not some underpaid civil servant that's praying for the last bell to ring so that they can go out and smoke in the parking lot before heading home to watch the television all night...
(Just some hyperbole for amusement, I have nothing against teachers, and have encountered many fine ones in my life, as well as many not so committed ones).
