Education is the solution providing that there are competent teachers to teach the subject AND willingness of children to both listen and learn. However, if education is the answer, then there also needs political clout with the willingness to spend sufficient money to see it through.

Education isn't the answer. In fact, it appears to have absolutely no affect. Legislation here in the US mandated abstinence programs (in lieu of safe-sex education) in some pilot areas. The net result was absolutely no difference. And yet teen sex and out-of-wedlock birth rates continue to climb. The reasons run much deeper than what a classroom can fix.

What if he parents are religious fanatics, she gets strep throat and wants to take an anti-biotic for it? She can't make the decision to at least talk to a doctor about it?

sure she can, but thats not birth control. im not against birth control or free advice / medicine for minors. i just think the parents should be notified if their 11 year old daughter is asking for it. like i said in an above post, physical maturity is not the same as emotional maturity. just because an 11 year old girl is physically mature, does not mean that she is emotionally mature enough to have a sexual relationship, and providing free birth control without parental notification is only encouraging the behavior. i started having sex at a young age, and im sure there are plenty of people here who did the same. if they dont have a few horror stories personally, they know someone who does. sex is a natural thing in life, and scientifically you are in you prime" from ~14 - ~26 for females and ~16 - 35 for males, but in todays society, there aren't very many people in the lower bounds who are emotionally mature enough to do deal with physical relationships...

Well, if education is not the answer and statutory programs have no effect, then frankly, the answer becomes elusive.
Currently there is no federal funding for comprehensive sex ed but according to the Surgeon General, comprehensive sex education is empirically proven to be a highly effective approach. 'In 2000, the Surgeon General reported that providing young people with contraception information decreases the likelihood of teen pregnancy or an STI infection while not expediting the initiation of sexual intercourse, increasing the frequency of sexual contact, or increasing the number of sexual partners.'

And yet the abstinence programs initiated the next year and followed for the subsequent 5 showed no discernable difference in results. In other words, sex education (despite Clinton's surgeon general's wishes) has no immediate effect on teenagers' behavior. Of course, the overall acceptance of promiscuity by our culture in general certainly does.

No. In other words abstinence only sex education has no effect. Comprehensive sex education does work.

I didn't mean that you felt like sharing. I meant that you assumed most of us had sex at a young age:) After all, we are all computer nerds right? ;P

No, the study showed that abstinence education had the exact same affect as telling 11-year olds how to get it on (i.e. no net effect). So that begs the question...Why are you so eager to teach 11-year olds how to get it on when it has no beneficial effect? Are you some sort of pervert?

That is simply false. The only studies I have seen compare abstinence only sex education with no sex education and in those studies there is no difference.

thats no excuse, im talking about a bit younger age in the previous post, but we had Computer Engineering nights at different bars across downtown when i was in college. if you didnt have a social life, we drug you out and did everything we could to give you opportunities to have one. also, its fun watching a computer geek try to talk about 802.11 standards in conversation with a girl they just met. :laugh:

Your ignorance (which is amazingly vast) does not denote falsity. The study[^] in question compared "sex education" vs. "abstinence education" and there was no discernable difference between the two. Essentially sex education, regardless of its type, does not have any effect on either the frequency or "safety" of teenage sex. So that begs the question...Why do you want to teach 11-year olds how to get it on? Are you some sort of pervert?

I am constantly amazed at you ability to shamelessly make completely unsupported claims. Family life services is not comprehensive sex education. Your statement is false. Read the title to the article: "Study Casts Doubt on Abstinence-Only Programs".

Considering the fact that they used condoms and had sex at the same rate, I would imagine that their STD rates were similar.

Where did I say otherwise, captain super-duper-genius? The study indicated that abstinence and promscuity education had the same net result. Read above a few posts and I said that education cannot deter sexual promiscuity and that it is a purely cultural issue (that arose out of nearly half a century of the left-wing agenda). So now, here we are, giving birth control to 11-year old kids because leftists are too dumb to realize that it was exactly that mentality that ultimately led them to have to do so in the first place. But hey...I guess it works for pervs who enjoy the idea of 11-year olds having sex.

Bear in mind that the study does not compare comprehensive sex education and abstinence only sex education.

bla bla bla. It only took you two posts to descend into absolutely absurd denial. How pathetic. I picture you rocking back and forth in the corner of the room, covering your ears while yelling.
