Should parents put condoms in their childrens lunchboxes ? After the recent stories of secondary schoolpupils getting others pregnant and the rise in stds amongst the same age group.
Should parents shove a 3 pack in next to the cheese strings and the sandwiches?
May soud extreme but i believe they can get them in secondary schools in england and also the morning after pill too.
No, but parent's should have a sufficiently open relationship with their kids, who they should have fully informed about their personal, social and emotional responsibilities for the kids to be able to ask their advice on the matter and contraception should be available if the teenager becomes sexually active.
Personally I have never done any of those things regarding providing my teenagers who are ( or I think might be) sexually active. They have always been informed enough to know where to obtain relevant contraception and their weekly allowance took 'emergency purchases' into account. Bit of a weird question if you ask me.
Not weird at all seeing as they can get them in their schoolsin england for free but dont.
otherwise why is there a rise in teenage stds and pregnancies far beyond any other eu country in the uk ?
So it would seem to be both relevant and to counter your opinion.
Perhaps youre out of touch with the harsh realities?
No I don't think I am out of touch with anything, if you recall I said that it was important to have as suitably open relationship with your kids, so that they are well informed and won't make a mistake. Oddly despite being SOOOO out of touch none of my kids have either fatherd a child yet and some of them are well into their 20's now. Weird aint it?
If they were included in lunch boxes,at least it could explain why so many kids leave the senior school almost illiterate, they'd have been too busy sh***ing.
have you the statistics for the rise in std's amongst school age children? You site a rise in the instances, have you any figures to give us an idea of the scale of the problem? Is there a particular part of the UK that the rise is more prevailent?
