'Safe Sex or No Sex' shirts bring suspension......

[PsyOps]

Eighth grade is later than quite a few girls I know did it :shrug:

I don't know, my view may change when I do in fact have a daughter, but as of now....I'd rather her practice safe sex in the 8th grade than unsafe sex in highschool or college :shrug:

I'm sure glad you answered that because I was going to ask if you had a daughter. And it explains your attitude. I hope you have a daughter. SOON!

I think eigth grade is middle school but still too young in my opinion.

Article said it was an elementary school.

I don't agree with the manner in which the girls protested as there were younger children in the same school (a K-8 school). But I do agree that abstinence only education is ineffective.

Give the kids information in a strictly clinical and technical type manner. Don't condemn or condone or pass out condoms, just give them facts to counter the stupid stuff we all heard in locker rooms i.e. you can't get pregnant if xyz...you can't get an std if blah blah...

If they have the straight facts they will be less likely to engage in risky behaviors.

I went to the UMD health center when I was feeling sick one day and was on campus. They had bowls of condoms where you can take a condom (leave a condom?) in the bathrooms. I kept thinking of how easy it would be for someone to just sit there and poke holes in them when nobody was looking.

Yo Madonna, STFU, don't give advice on something you have NO experience with, understanding sex at age 8 with other little boys is no qualification so your opinion is worthless!!! When you do have a little girl, give me a holla, I'll send you a little pink sweater for her with condoms attached so you can display her around SMIBville...

Why not let 3rd graders wear condom shirts with their family value messages on them, 3rd graders are most likely smarter now than you where in the 8th grade, I vote we keep lowering the bar and standards for our children to make the responsibilities of parenting easier...

Maybe when she hits 8th grade you can hook her up with one of your nephews..

You might want to watch the SMIBville comments: Some of us here in the forum are natives of St. Mary's,, and ordinarily the comment isnt taken badly, but in the context you used it here it appears to be used as a reproof.
