correct me if i'm wrong, it may be rumored that children develop hormones by eating steriods-led meats or something like that.

BGH, Bovine Growth Hormone, and its not really rumor, numorous studys have basicially confirmed it, however or great country just ignores them, so we still use BGH, IIRC its banned in most of europe and canada, its also bad for cows

In short, the answer is yes. You don't need to be worried. Clinics have been doing what this school wants to do for many years now for kids at this age. If it caused problems, then the facts would have revealed themselves a while ago and you wouldn't see any school doing this out of fear of a lawsuit.

I was driving my brother and his friend home from school today... He was calling his GF to tell her NOT to tell people that another girl is pregnant, because she told him that "she might not be pregnant, she is not 100% sure". So to wait on the news until it is certain... however another girl IS pregnant, 100% sure...

So one potential pregnancy and one "maybe" pregnancy... now I wonder if that "I am not sure" girl is just going to get an abortion and keep it out of the statistics (since the school statistics for teen pregnancy only include pregnancies that are carried to term, not cases where the girls had an abortion right away or a miscarriage)

All the girls and boys involved are 15...

Although, the article in question was targeting 12 year olds.... so meh.

I was in middle school last year, freshman now, but yes there were a few kids who did it. Keep in mind this isn't urban i'm talking about either, Northern NE, the complete opposite of urban =)

Go back to watching Faux news and Bill Oreally and stop trying to act like you have any sense on what goes on in the real world.

Do I need to back up common sense? No, I don't, smartass, I wasn't talking about protected-versus unprotected, try reading for a change. All you see is me taking an anti communism stance and you get rambo on my ass.

Here's a note: I don't watch Faux news. I don't watch any TV. Shut the fuck up, that's all you think about, isn't it, in your little mind, that's all you can associate with people who believe in free thought and trade, and are anti-anti societal, eh?

I said that an unmarried couple who have a child tend, something tends to happen. Such as a partner running out, and the other partner getting stuck with the child. The "family" applies for welfare. It doesn't take a psychologist to figure that out.

Maybe you should study some history, and realize that's what Lyndon B. Johnson was doing in the '60's before you try and pretend to be some nonchalant, "I'm so open minded, wahh wahh, have all the s3x u li3k" type of character.


So I doubt you're going to read all this, why should you? Obviously in your own small head and thick skull, I'm totally bigoted here.

Some key things regarding the pill. For one most people confused birth control effectiveness with the chance you won't get pregnant...they are not the same.

In most cases of those that take birth control pills the effectiveness is a little below 90%. Many things contribute to this. YMMV, but most hormones need to be taken at the same times daily. Many women forget a pill or even two.

Also some keep them in their purses which sometimes get left in environments (like a car) where the temperatures are too high for the pill....or too low. It's still a great method...the best really unless on wants to combine two methods (like a condom)...then the actual effectiveness approaches a true 100%. Still people get pregnant.

I wouldn't trust children to follow a hormone regiment like the pill...it's not that the hormones are bad for them, it's they have a hard enough time remembering their lunch or bookbag.

My girlfriend in high school was very good about taking her birth control pills. I never knocked her up despite 3 years of fucking like rabbits.

Oh, and she was 15 when we started dating.

You could be sterile. Anyway...it's rare to get pregnant on the pill but the real world percentages show people are getting pregnant while taking it.

There is a big difference having a baby at 15-16ish vs while still in middle school.
