Mom outraged at school program providing birth control for daughter

Which is what I did originally. It's hard not too, though. I put myself in the parent role and sort of went "What if it was MY kid?" Truth be told, I'd be pretty ticked off. As it is, I'm an aunt, but the kids are getting older. My niece turned 9 (yes, still a far cry from 14...but still.) in Sept, and, we are now having little discussions about her "boyfriends" (really, just crushes, but gah!). :shock:

She's NINE!!! :lol: OK, so I'm digressing from this discussion a bit; and projecting my own fears into things as well, maybe. I'll admit it. These discussions with my niece are wigging me out and I can only hope she's having good talks with Mommy about some of this stuff she's dealing with AT NINE. I do my best, but I'm not the Mom. I'm also not prepared for these kids to grow up THIS fast! :eek3:

This is what I reacted to. My niece one day in that situation, and in a perfect world, I would hope she'd come to one of us for information (and yes, birth control if it comes to that).

But, back to the point.... There is a lot wrong here. Who's really at fault should be sorted out in a courtroom. The Dr. certainly should be held liable, but, if it's proven that the woman did something improper or illegal, she should be held accountable as well.

Get it entirely. I have a 10 year old niece who has begun to notice boys recently. :eek3:

What did the sex education class cover? Just curious to get your perspective. Thanks!

It was more of a Health class than a sex ed class. The two days that was used to cover sex, basically briefly covered the dangers of contracting STD's and the different form of protection and where you can get it. As well as the famale/male anatomy and how a female gets pregnant.

Mind you, at this high school, they taught health to Freshmen (being that I was a transfer student, I was a senior in an all freshman health class). So the maturity level just was not there. The teacher herself was probably no more than 25 and fairly attractive, so just imagine all the stupid comments coming from prepubescent teenage boys. :roll:

Nothing was in depth. I honestly think that the girls should have been placed in a separate class so that they could have been force fed the consequences of sex and pregnancy... especially with the amount of girls at that school that had kids or became pregnant. No body really knew anything about birth control, about the significance of getting checked annually, the significance of protection.

Two days isn't enough!

Anyway, when I was in school, teachers organised a day where someone equipped with all info on sex and such came to school and talked with a group of girls, and boys was not included.

Agreed. Two days is never enough. Sex education should be ongoing, and things need to be added according to the kid's developmental level. It should start when they first begin to notice that there is a difference between boys and girls and continue until they are of age, and after, if needed.
