1. frankly, I sorta, SORTA, agree with this
few teenagers are ready for the implications and inherent dangers of sex in today's world, and I don't think many of them should have sex in high school. there, I said it. If you are still dependant on your parents for everything, and are not old enough to take care of yourself (here's my new rule: if you still get an allowance, don't get laid) you shouldn't be having sex. That doesn't mean you shouldn't fool around, if you can, or even engage in oral sex, but actualy penetrative sex, the kind that leads to pregnancy if not done carefully, should not be engaged in until you are ready for the consequences.

I am a firm believer in sex-education from parents especially, and a strong supporter of a woman's right ot choose to abort a pregnancy, but most teenagers don't have these real beleifs developed yet. You aren't your own person yet, and no one should have to choose between their future and a child, it's a devasatating choice to have to make, especially as a teenager. you shouldn't have sex unless you are rationally able to deal with the potential consequnces.
