I am not saying put a limit on children..
I am saying put a limit on who can have
them.. Some people just shouldn't have
children. It shows. I think that everyone
should have some basic knowledge and
should have to take a course before they
can have children. I think that too many
people have children because 'they can'
and there are not enough good parents in
this world. I think something should be
done. I really do. I don't think whats
happening right now is RIGHT... Its
terrible. I watch the news and our world
is turning to crap and I think that if it
was regulated then we would live in a
better place

that's the truth with kids, or women these
days. More so for the younger crowd. You
shold know by 18+ where babies come from,
and STD's. I was afraid to ask my mother
for BC because then she would know i was
having sex. I don't know if that's the
right choice or not. Getting a fake ID, or
whatever you would get for that would i'm
sure be just as easy toget as one for
drinking, or driving. But maybe i'm wrong.
It's been a long time since i needed a
fake  |
personally i have a cousin that is the
absolute stereotype of a private school
girl.. completely secluded from the
outside world so that she stays completely
innocent..... including her mind.... she
knows nothing of sex std's and what-not...
and that is wrong; and personally a little
selfish of the parents to seclude her like
that and then to expect her to make it in
the outside world.... the world is
revolved around sex and sexual
pleasures... we just have to get used to
that; it isn't never going to change...

I know girls like that too- and they are
often the ones who end up having
abortions, because they have no idea how
to keep from getting pregnant (such as,
you can't get pregnant if she's on top!!)
We need to be educated!!

yes... i agree completely with you on that
one... we do need to be educated.
otherwise you go into the world
blindsighted and end up making stupid
decisions because you don't knwo any
better because of your uneducated-ness....
but also, i don't belive that she woud
ever get an abortion for two
reasons......
1. i don't see her having sex.....
EVER!!!! she's so unsure of men because
she doesn't know anything about them,
therefore she doesn't understand them,
sex, etc.
2. she's an EXTREME christian... if it
goes against her beliefs, then she's nto
going to do it...... abortion, as far as i
have been told, if very much so against
christian beliefs

Actually Armywife there are plenty of
churches who support a womans right to
choose. This ought
to give you some perspective on the
religious side of things.

Armywife, all it takes is one smooth

sheltered girl.

ahh well that is interesting topic..I
wonder on the effectiveness of it. It's
not common practice in my country, but I
had good friend who was doing homeshooling
on kids but I know he did socialize them
with youth groups at church..
I knew a guy who was homeschooled I met
him when he was at college and he was
pretty good guy..he never drank a beer in
his life and you know he seemed to have no
intention of ever doing it. He had very
solid beliefs. Anyways the guy is very
decent and he end up with phD..
I guess you can homeschool and tell them
what is out there..

Homeschooling is as good or as bad an
experience as you choose to make it. My
cousin has 8 kids (and she is
pl....imagine that  ) and she has
homeschooled all her kids. She belongs to
a hs co-op where the kids come together
with other hs kids for subjects like
science and music and they also go on
fieldtrips as a co-operative group. She
also makes sure the kids are involved in
sports and many extra-curricular
activities like dance, art, and martial
arts. Her oldest took the ACT's and was in
the top 5% in the country. He is now a
sophmore in college. She chose hs as a way
to have a hands on knowledge of what the
kids were learning and how they were
doing.
The down side to hs is there are parents
out there so afraid of the "real" world
and so afraid to expose their kids to
anything outside their own little
world....that these kids don't get
socialized at all....and therefore have a
hard time entering the real world as
adults.
I have seen both sides of the coin...and
as I said....the experience can be as good
or as bad as the motives behind the
parents teaching it.

That pure and innocent is a detriment in
todays high sex, high crime, high violence
society. Do they intend to lock her in the
house once she graduates or do they have
her life preplanned for her? Marriage to a
'suitable' man and no experience?

yes; i believe that htey have her life all
planned out for her and all; at least,
last i heard they did....
something along htose lines; she's
destined to come across a wonderful guy
whom the parents are picking out or what
not.... and she's going to become a nurse
because it's a good paying job and her
parents want her to do it.

This is actually sad to read,. In todays
world to plan out a childs life for them
is criminal!! I'd never plan my girls'
lives for them; I raised (am raising) them
to be strong smart self reliant women able
to make their own decisions and deal with
their own mistakes.
I am here for them to give advice and
education; to be their mother and their
friend; the person they feel comfortable
talking about their problems with. It
isn't my job to control them.
If your friend becomes a nurse she will
see up close and personal many things her
parents don't want her to know about and
it will be a terrible shock. What will she
do when she is brought a little girl who
has been raped and is bleeding? What will
she do when someone tries to force their
way into a patients room to finish what
they started? when she has to deal with
the results of drunk driving and the
driver is being treated for superficial
wounds in the next room?
She will be faced with the human condition
at its worst. This shelter her idea is
only going to cause problems later.
