Seriously though, maybe she and her friend need someone to jump down their throats....If they have to be scared into using protection....Then thats what needs to happen.

It seems like every year things just get so exponentially worse with disease and unwanted pregnancy, all these precious little lives are being aborted because 'mommy' didnt think about being responsible before jumping into bed. Makes me sick.

Even if you don't have sex ed in school, I think it's safe to say that most girls can learn from their peers and/or television and other forms of media that a girl can become pregnant from unprotected sex. I agree that I would start asking questions or doing research about how to protect myself against unwanted pregnancies, so I don't think that is a good excuse not to use protection. But then again, a lot of teenage girls are naive, so maybe they believe that they won't be the ones who get pregnant from unprotected sex.

it really makes me sick when you get women who are old enough to know better that suffer unwanted pregnancies at the hands of their own laziness and irresponsibility.

I must say (and it takes a lot for me to actually scream about my own 'generation') that a lot of people my age just don't know anything about birth control. At all. I'm 17, btw. We had a 'sex ed' class when I was a freshman but they just screamed herpes at us and told us not to do anything. That's not very educational. Abstinence only education makes me laugh my ass off. It;s just not going to work that way. So I find I have to educate all my friends about the pill and how to use a condom when they want to start having sex because they're just too lazy or embarresed to look it up or ask someone else. I did hours fo research online when I started depo and the pill but i've had a lot of firneds for get to take the pills three days in a row then come and ask me 'i'm ok, right?' anmd i'll scream 'no!!!' cause i'm sick of this 'it won't happen to me' crap. Stop being uptight in this society and start being realistically educational!

Abstinance has not ever worked,and will not ever work.It is completely unrealistic for parents to think that their kids will not have sex-or at least try it!!Sexual urges were created to keep the species alive and now that people are not getting married at 14,they are a "problem".Sex education needs to come from the parents-not the school!!!It is up to parents to decide what type of sex ed to give their children.That does not mean that they should ignore ot,but give them the info needed to be safe and healthy.I laugh when my husband tells me of his big "sex talk"it happened when he was 18!!!His mom(who is french)told him"everything from the waist up is okay-don't go below"so much for the french having all the sexual secrets!!It is a wonder he is such a great lover,with all that great advice.Parents,please,talk to your kids and give them the right info,not myths and street talk!!!Patty

I think parents should just have their kids sterilized because most of them won't grow up to be responsible parenting types anyway.

Nice!!!

"the pill may make her sick but there are other options, like the patch and the shot, or absitnence, and yes, there are non-latex condoms."

the patch and the shot are hormonal methods, just like the pill, and aren't likely to make much difference if nausea is the problem. Try non-hormonal methods, like condoms or a diaphram, if that's the issue.

I kno I use condoms , and I dont like em but need 2 use them

The naseuousness that comes from the pill, although probably from the hormones, can also be a psychological thing. The thought of ingesting something and it releasing things into your body can be unsettling.

For example, my sister is extremely afraid of getting shots, and every time she does she builds up the drama of it so much in her mind that she passes out. It has nothing to do with whats in the shot.

All im say is that it might be easier for her to deal with just sticking a patch on her body once a week and going on with life. Its hard to say, but there are limitless reasons and options available for everybody when it comes to safer sex.

End of story = pull-out method doesnt work.
