to slovelace, you are very ignorant!!!

i dnt thk that any kind of sexual contact is alright. Why do you think people get stds? why do you think your 13 year old is getting pregnant? why do you think people get married and then find our 20 years later that their sipous has kids with someone else? you should be saving that until you get married. nothing is sacred anymoe. not here in the western society at least. tey make COMEDIES about sex. what is that about? kids shouldnt even know about that. instead there are children in elementary who are sexually active. what is going on in this world? dont TEACH your children to use condoms. dont even allow them to be alone with their boyfrriends or girlfreinds. let them be together in your presecense. let them spend time together right in front of you. its disgusting that kids get pregnant at 13.

Alright. Question: Why are the parents of these 13-year-olds giving them opportunities to have sex? Letting a boyfriend/girlfriend into the home, and then allowing them to be alone long enough to have sex, or make out, is on the parents, am I wrong? Granted, the parent needs to have a discussion on boundaries, but why are the parents letting this happen, in their own homes, or in others?

What gets me is how some people have the nerve to explain how a minority feels when they don't have the slightest clue! YOU"RE THE IDIOT! This article is how to get your children ready for changes in life, not how someone ( a minority) has to have children to be loved and accepted and drain the system! A good parent no matter what SOCIAL CLASS , has structure and discipline for their children , taking responsibuilty for what their children do and rewarding them when they do good! My kids, are my kids! I raise my children without help from anyone, government or otherwise! But its sad, because Im a minority, that not only do I have to get my childen ready for a new phase in life I also have to teach them that there are ingnorant people out there that don't care about how hard you work, how well you write, or if you no longer have an accent, your'e still an idiot IN THEIR EYES because you different!!! You should be ashamed of yourself to even write that you feel that way! Tell you what, organize all of your fellow lemmings and start a petition! Change what YOUR majority govenment has paved, stop the feeding and VOTE! These aren't minorities holding office! And these surely aren't minorities taking you vote at the polls! Don't be an IDIOT all your life and blame others, like the majority does well! Change it!

This is why I still believe that sex with marriage is all together a better thing to wait for. I would encourage with any young person to wait until marriage for sex. I always thought that my parents were just trying to "ruin my fun" or "make me an outcast" when they told me this stuff, but now I truly know why. Sex isn't just some thing you do to "get the point across" to someone you don't even know if you love or not. It is to show something more than just love, it is practically an act of commitment. If I had to tell my children about sex, I wouldn't just tell them about all the little "birds and beeds and things in between" but I would strongly advise them to wait until marriage, where they won't regret doing something so intimate, valuable, and precious.

Parents shouldn't need to label their kids "tween" or have a Newsweek article in order to feel obligated to have "the talk" with their kids. There should be a close enough relationship between parents and their children to now when to discuss such matters as this one. You should know what your children are doing and be able to engage in a serious conversation with them if you are their parents. Your children are a gift and as a parent your have an enormous amount of responsibility. Parents need to know that raising their families is their first priority, not buying them things, or enrolling them in every possible extra curricular activity, or being their taxi cab! Parents are teachers, and listeners, and counselors, and protectors. We have more influence on our kids than we realize. We need to stop allowing the world (ie. other kids, school institutions, TV, and internet) to raise our children. We need to be involved in their lives and then having this kind of discussion won't be a big deal, and it certainly won't have to include cucumbers, condoms, or News Week articles! Be parents who are invested in the lives of your children. They should be the most important thing! YOU are to THEM!

Your are the idiot if you think minorities (who according to the census are now the majorities) are the idiots for having babies just to feel good about themselves. I am surprised trailer trash such as yourself can even read. You racist piece of $hit.

Check your statistics, teen pregnancy has nothing to do with minorities. It's parenting in America as a whole that has gone out the window. People are so pre-occupied with keeping their jobs and paying their bills since gas and groceries are so expensive that they don't have time to be a parent.

I don't why but I'm always surprised at the level of ignorance displayed by those individuals who post their opinions here...slovelace and kbates let's hope you are not populating the earth with any children and spreading your stupidity.

I have been talking to my daughter about sex since she first had her first menses.
Parents todays should not be so foolish to think that their "child" won't experiment.
Todays society has changed. It changed in the 60's and seventies when there was free love and rock and roll. I myself fell into the sexualy generation and became pregnant at the age of 15. Rowe vs Wade had just happened and family planning was becoming widely available. Abortion was my only answer. Many of you may gasp at the thought ,but, take heed- TALK TO YOUR KIDS. Mine didn't. If there was birth control available to me - pregnancy would not have been an issue with me. Now theres AIDS and STDs. COmon people- do not fool yourself. Kids with the social pressure to be "cool" and sexually active is everywhere. Our nation has many different ways of life- City- suburbs- farmlands- rich- poor...the list goes on and on. If you chose to have children- take care of them....it doesn't stop with buying them clothes- feeding them- making sure their homework is done.....get involved and that means talking about sex. Sex before marriage is GREAT,,,,BUT.....Children have their own minds and you cannot control this aspect of their lives...but you CAN be responsible and help them understand the difference between what you want to preach and what options that they can take for their own bodies and minds. Its not hard parents- just do it!

I feel that if they can afford it and are not going to feed off of the government than, fine. Too many minorities think that they MUST have babies - regardless of their financial means. Idiots.

This world is just getting sick! Why can't you just wait for sex? Why are we trying to teach children that by using condoms or birth control, you can have sex any time, any where, and it's okay??? Why don't you just teach them abstinence? It will save them a lot of pain and guilt, and not to mention possible STD's, AIDS, or an unwanted pregnancy. Sex is for two purposes: To bring pleasure to the people that have committed to each other by matrimony (to consumate their marriage), and to bring children into this world.
I'm so glad that I waited to have sex until I was married, and that we both saved each other for that special moment. Heck no we didn't know what we were doing, but that's what made it fun!

ps
i like the girl whos staying a virgin til marriage!
im doin the same thing =]
