Last I've read was than teen pregnancy was up 40%....!!!!.....that was approx. 1 month ago....I believe sex education begins in the home, church and at school...
My 17 yr. old son admitted to the doctor that he had unprotected sex...and I immediately had him tested for STD's and HIV....I admit, I was devastated! A box of condoms in his room (hidden) and one in his wallet...and countless discussions about teen sex.....I felt like a failure!...And called my son "a JERK!"
He was clean!....And grounded for 1 month!...I agree, that teens will have sex, regardless!....I notified my son's girlfriend's parents...and she was not on any type of birth control! They "assured" me that would take her to the doctor and get her on birth control.
I have 2 more sons coming up, 14 and 12 ...and make it a point at least once a month....to "steer a conversation" towards teen sex. I try to keep things open and above, not hidden!....And I do a lot of "praying"!!
