Yea and for most parents today that is after they are already knocked up.
That and i asked YOU when the "appropriate age"? See the quotes. You said you have a kid, so when?
I assume that you don't have any children. Let me break it down a bit for you.
Children do not develop exactly the same at the set ages. The "appropriate age" is when my daughter is mature enough for the conversation. Obviously, she is not mature enough at age 6. She may be mature enough at age 10 to breach the topic with some detail or she may not be. If I was to say right now, I would guess that we will have the detailed "talk" when she is around 12 but that is subject to change depending upon her maturity.
Most parents? I didn't realize that MOST middle/high school girls where knocked up. I don't disagree that there are some bad parents out there but that does not give anyone the right to assume I will be a bad parent as well and then take my parental rights and responsibilities away from me.
What is your position on the topic? Should schools be able to administer prescription drugs/hormones to children without parental consent or permission? To be clear, I am speaking of expressed consent, not some general form that allows them to be treated in a school clinic.
