Good! I had to sack up and buy mine when I was in high school too. Maybe the schools should just start giving every girl in the school the shot. That would virtually eliminate teen pregnancy. Might as well I guess, if as a father I don't have any say in what the school is giving my child.
No offense or anything, but I think that is a pretty small minority when it comes to a public school setting. At least in my school (rural farm school), not many students went to church every Sunday. I can't even think of anyone off the top of my head that actually waited for marriage. We never had any teen pregnancies, either.
Our bodies enable us to do tons of things...doesn't make them beneficial or dare I say the right thing to do. All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. If condoms don't send the message of supporting or to be political correct "acceptance" of pre-marital and/or teenage sex than I guess my understanding of the entire concept of supporting or accepting something is 100% wrong. To me the school needs to stay out of this, period. Especially if any tax payer money is being utilized to do so. There is no way a school gets it approved to provide a bible or a koran or whatever else to each student at their choosing to support making those life decisions, they should in no way support this lifestyle choice either.
Looks like an awful lot of fellas spent the evening online fighting about condoms instead of parenting their children....
I figure if I insure every boy within 100 mi radius is in fear for their life should they so much as kiss one of my daughters everything should be cool
Wait the do as say don't do as do speech works? Really Tony.. What do You say to virginal daughter whether she is 16 or 26 in regards to how long she should abstain? Maybe she has no intention of marriage. And after that is conveyed to you what is your answer then? All I can do for my children is Provide them with a solid foundation to make good decisions. And good decisions tend to realistic decisions.
Church doesn't equate to this mindset, sad but true. I know a decent amount, yes still minority, of folks that waited at minimum till they found the cliche "one" before having sex...and it was based on nothing religious. You are right though it is the minority, however I don't feel it is as small as some feel...we just aren't as outspoken nor does our concept of choosing make it in mainstream society. Shoot I remember a sociology or something similar class where the topic of sex got brought up...teach did a hand raising poll of how old people were when they had sex (no one was forced to raise their hand). However her options were as followed, Middle school, high school or college. It was the assumption no one would still be a virgin in the classroom... ...I raised my hand and triggered the discussion that she'd forgot those abstaining till they took vows and found the right girl or man. Prof was amazed that a college male was stating this...proceeded to in a sideway approach belittle me or call me unique...then another hand raised...and another.....in a class of 50 or so there were 11 or so of us. There are more out there than people think...and no not all 11 or so were fat or ugly (I was just ugly bahaha...beat you guys to it!)
How did I know you would be the one.... My daughter's openly advocate for it...always have....and they are beautiful
Sorry I didn't take the time to type it in a politically correct format as to not offend. Fact of the matter there is a huge breakdown of structure in family life based on socioeconomic factors. I think those of us who are in our 40's that see structure in society has changed dramatically. I think well adjusted kids need structure in their lives and that takes time and effort from parents to provide that structure. Divorce messes with a kid, single parenting usually is a juggling act at best with an income that is a priority, remarried couples with step kids is another big adjustment. Even married couples have a difficult time being there with work and commuting. How many people sit down and have supper as a family at least 3 days a week? I am sorry if I offended anyone that grew up in a situation that I described.
Good for your daughter, Tony. Now do you think she would have not abstained from sex if her school gave them out to willing students?
I just made the religious relation because at our school, the ones that were semi religious (their parents go to church, and sometimes they go, too) waited the longest to have sex. And good try on the not ugly cover up lol
No sir, I believe they would have.... But the point is that schools should not advocate for sex before marriage ...which is what they do when they hand out condoms....
Since when did this become so hard? Seems like a very simple priority IMO Unless you work odd shifts I'd think you would eat together every night?
Shoot even me as a guest sat down with your kids while in town...amazes me how hard this is for some families. Priorities is all it is.
Not that it truly matters I mean you and Brad both claim to have gotten action...guess it doesn't matter.
