Re: Why are teenage pregnancies
**
because kids are not being educated about sex…and that includes the use of condoms and other protection. I agree, teens are having sex too young. We bombarde them with sexy images of men and women, hypersexualized ideas of what a teen should be. All that, and then we complain that nurses are handing out condoms and teachers are giving sex ed classes?? Does not make sense. We should be complaining about the first thing: corporations that teenagers ideas about sexiness, the pressure women feel to fit inot a certain mold, low self esteem in both boy and girl teens…all things that lead them to have sex at a younger age.
Personally, if I had a daughter or son growing up in this age and day, I would want them to have access to these resources…if they decide to have sex, at least they will be prepared and SAFE.
