Slow down teen pregnancies by teaching money management to teenagers? Good luck with that.
And I have to disagree with you, Chuck. Americans are more uptight, and I believe it's one of the reason kids look for nudity and suck each other off in basements.
Where did I say you claimed such?

NO. Show them disgusting pictures of STDs on penises and vaginas, and terrify them into abstinence. Or, if not abstinence, at least wearing a condom. That totally works.
You said it right here.
Nope, try again. That's not what that says.

Agreed this could play a part. But it has been happening for a long time. The tred was going down, and now it's gone up sharply.
Whay are you so certain it was not Bush's policies???How can you be that positive?

Then, what does it say? You referred to me as a Liberal, so maybe it's you that's confused?
I was just waiting for another opportunity to say this:
It's all Bush's fault!
That felt good! :2razz:
Hah, that is what was shown in my sex ed. classes. Worked like a charm, i was traumatised tho.
My teacher bought in real babies with the parents and was like, do you want to look after that at the age of 15
Oh and we had a video of childbirth :2sick1:
No video of an abortion?
You stopped following the topic of the thread when you went off about condoms.
My comment was meant to direct you back on topic, not accuse you of anything.

That might change opinions on abortion. The Liberals can't have that.
My original post was in response that education and birth control only, without abstinence, are the alpha and omega for the prevention of teen pregnancy. The point being, that if you teach teens how to have sex and use birth control more teens are going to **** and more teens are going to get pregnant and it shouldn't come as a shock and it certainly isn't Bush's fault.
Are you sure it wasn't because Bill Clinton was out of office and had nothing better to do?
No? Too much? Not far enough?
Ahhh, they are going to have sex no matter what you do. You don't have to "teach them how". Honest.
Well, if you want to blame a president, maybe all those extra-curricular activities Bill Clinton did in the oval office had an influence. If the president can get a bj while performing his job, I guess it's OK. There's been a disturbing new "game" among middle schoolers as of late. It's called Rings (or something). Each girl wears a different color lip gloss and goes down on a boy. The boy with the most rings wins. The kids say that BJs aren't really sex. Where did they hear that? I'm loathe to find the person who can participate in oral sex and not end up going all the way. Play with fire and all that.
I want to know who these uptight Americans are that speak for the entire nation? Mormons? I know they're the ones getting all the flack now. What are their rates of teen pregnancies and stds? Probably a lot lower than national average.
I can;t help but think about those high shool girls in Gloucester MA last year who made a game of seeing who could get PG. It was an epidemic. Gloucester is not a conservative town. I doubt anyone was teaching abstinence in those schools. MA is traditionally very liberal. If we're going to blame politics, let's be honest.
Has anyone else seen the show "16 and pregnant"?
I actually like it. I think it shows the reality of teenage pregnancy pretty well.

I don't think it is allowed so no.
