10/07 The Latest Debates

As a formal teen of the generation, i am surprised that so many people have said NO to schools giving out condoms and them giving the wrong message. I think it's a good idea. i un-like most teens watch Dr. Phil almost daily. i have a health class in school right now, and yeah sure they did hand out condoms ONE time but that doesn't mean that everyone takes one. i didn't because i believe that pre-marital sex is wrong. sex should happen after marriage. the school is not telling you to have sex, their telling you that if you are going to have sex that you need to know what the consequences can be and that you need protection not only so the female won't get pregnant but also so that you won't get an STD. so i have to say that their NOT giving the wrong message and that they should give them out, because not every parent informs their kids on STD's and protection. they always tell us that the only 100% effective way not to get pregnant, or get an STD is to not have sex, and i have to say i'm disappointed that people think that all teens will take the condoms and have sex because that's NOT me. pre-marital sex is wrong, but educating kids on the subject is right.

I think you need to do a little more research.  Breast is best.  And if you think bottles are going to be more convenient have fun sterilizing! 

  

I breast and bottle fed my twins and strictly breast fed  their little brother and overall the baby has been more healthy and has gotten sick way less often than his big brothers.  That's enough proof for me!  When you breastfeed you pass on your immune system, somthing formula will never be able to do.  I agree women should be discreet, but you're accusing all women who breastfeed in public of doing it flauntingly.  It's a little hard to breastfeed your baby in your car in the middle of summer in 100+ degree weather.  And for your information, pumps don't always work for all women.
 

not to cause an argument but, my mother has a PHD in pediatrics and she agrees that breast is best and so do i. the formula has nutrients in it but not the same kind as the mother. besides we all have to where these dang bras anyway, and the breast are there to help feed your children it's a free resource so i'm sorry but if you are one of the people fortunate enough to have a child then you should use breast milk. besides it's already there, and studies prove that kids who are breastfed do get sick a lot less. so in the end it might save you some money, and help keep your baby healthy. which is the most important thing after all. ooh yeah and by the way not all women get strechmarks especially on their breast.

My parent's NEVER talked to my sisters and I about sex, drugs, alcohol or anything of that nature....My sisters are 23 and I'm 20....none of us have had any children....We dont have STD's....I admit that I have gone out drinking a few times, but never got to the point that I couldn't walk, talk or handle myself in public. I have had sex. I'm sure my sisters have too, but we weren't raised in a family where sex was a huge deal and "oh no you'll go to hell if you have sex before marriage!" Our parents knew we were smart and had common sense, but most importantly, they trusted us to make good decisions without them having to ask where we have been when we would come home at 4AM. Parents just need to raise their children to be INTELLIGENT and have a sense of SELF-WORTH. That's about it. the girls out getting pregnant are the ones that have no respect for themselves. That's their whole problem. I believe your statement  "But what happens when the parents don't do thier job?? These are the kids getting pregnant and getting STD's." is very very very wrong.
not saying that your wrong because i value your opinion just as i do mine but, you should read a message i posted about my best friend and how she got pregnant, and i can assure you that my friend thought she was in love and that this guy loved her too. i take serious offense to what you said about how parents need to raise their children to be intelligent and that those girls don't have any self worth. my friend has a tone of self value!!! and intelligence is not something that comes naturally. you can't raise someone to be intelligent, they have to become that on their own. so i suggest that you kind of think about what your telling people. because the statement that only girls with no self-worth get pregnant is not true. i mean if that was true wouldn't you have to call your mother a person with low self-value?
