Next Teen Night is Tonight.

Parents who drop their kids off at places like this without staying to see what goes on, aren't really "parents". Parents who don't double check their teen's whereabouts with other parents, drive-by spot checks, GPS tracking, or whatever, aren't doing their job very well.

I wouldn't worry too much about pregnancies. Most of these girls are probably on the pill.

 

I have a 4 year old b/c i was "on the pill"...not foolproof or guaranteed to work!

If you think most of these girls are on the pill, think again. According to my girls, who happen to be in this age group many are under misconceptions about safe sex. Hard to believe in this age/time that teenagers still can't get it right, but many believe the calender method works etc.., or "he didn't ...... so I'm safe" and the list goes on. Plus, how many of these kids do you think have gone to mom/dad and have said "hey, I'm going to have sex and need to be on the pill", Not. Teenage pregnancy is on the rise in NC.

 

Still, state law requires "abstinence only" sex education????????????

 

ITS A PARENTS RESPONSIBLITY. NOT THE STATES. PLUS THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM IS HAVING TROUBLE GRADUATING KIDS THAT CAN DO BASIC MATH AND WRITE A PROPER SENTENCE. DONT THINK I WANT TO TRUST THEM TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING ELSE!!!!! :shock:

 

What does "state law" have to do with anything? You think I left it up to the state and school system to educate my girls about anything on this topic. F.Y.I, they talk about condoms, the pill and everything else in sex-education these days, but I still felt it was my responsibility as a parent to educate my kids.

 

Your kids are fortunate they can talk to you about those things. Not all kids are so fortunate. And who's going to support these kids and their babies after they find out those urban legends about birth control don't really work? The same state that refuses to allow teachers to tell them how not to get pregnant in the first place. Which of course means you and I will support them, through our taxes.

Anyone who thinks abstinence only sex education will keep those kids from having sex should take another look at the pictures.

 

Exactly! If you child fails one grade in elementary then they will not be held back again, in middle fails one won't be held back again, etc. etc....

So I ask why do we even have EOG's?

 

Not sure where your getting your information, but sex education does include the education of using a condom etc. as well as abstinance, this is taught in conjunction with their efforts in education/stopping the spread of STDs.
The school encourages the use of a condom and making appt. with the health dept. for birth control pills.

 

Thank you for that information. I'm glad to learn I have been misinformed.

 

Correction,
It was the health dept. that was invited to the school to discuss with the kids about these issues, each child was given a letter for the parent to sign giving their permission that he/she could attend the class. They also had a sesson with pregnant teenagers talking to them about how different/changed their life was compared to when they weren't pregnant or when they didn't have a baby, this was a big eye opener for my kids. There are some parents out there that didn't agree with this for whatever reason and did not approve of their child attending. They do discuss STDs in health education as well. So, I think the school/state has tried their best in this area.

 

On a side note there was a incident there a week or two ago on a Saturday night which involved a fight in the parking lot which ended up with shots being fired, though no one was struck by a bullet.

Great environment all the way around is it not?

I am just thankful that my girls are only toddlers and I don't have to worry about this for another 15 years or so. But if they still have things like that when they get older....h_ll No will they ever be allowed to go to something like that. What are the parents thinking when they let their children go to these things?

I understand if they are college kids but HS kids....come on. Its really sad.

 

If your girls are toddlers, you don't have another 15 years to worry about this, I can promise you that. Try 10-12 max! And, I have a college age son and I still wouldn't want him at a place like that, treating girls like some kind of hoochie mamas!!

 

What...10-12...are you kidding me.

Well I wouldn't want my daughters to be treated like hoochie mamas so hopefully when the get older, they will remeber what we thought them and use their brain and know what is right from wrong...(praying that I am teaching them all the right things in life)

 

Aren't your daughters like 2 & 3 now? If so, I'm saying you've only got 10 to 12 years left before they're at the age of the kids in those pics. My daughter is 5 and I'm already scared!

 

They will be in July but 15 sounded better than 10-12 years

I am scare when I read that kind of stuff that goes on these days with teens.

My DH said he would get chasity belts for the girls

 

In case ya'll didn't read it all, this place is advertised as having a Christian atmosphere....yeah right.

these pics are disgusting and i can tell ya right now that i would knock the snot out of some punk kid if i knew he was treating my daughters like that.

 

I think they've got Christ confused with ANTI-Christ, don't you?

 

Only partly .....

Real Sex Education Bill Clears First Hurdle

5/1/2007 - At its meeting today the House Heath Committee sent House Bill 879, "Modify School Health Education Program" on to an Education subcommittee. The bill would replace the outdated and inaccurate "abstinence until marriage" program with a comprehensive sex education program.

Rep. Susan Fisher, the bill's lead sponsor, gave a moving and persuasive presentation on the need for this bill, and the Pediatrician's Association also spoke for the bill. Due to a tight schedule, other experts did not get to voice their support, but several were there to help.

Since the committee ran out of time for full debate on the bill, it voted to send it on to the House Education Subcommittee on Pre-School, Elementary and Secondary Education "without prejudice" for further consideration. The bill is expected to be heard more fully in the committee in the coming weeks.

Equality NC is proud to be part of the coalition supporting this bill. Together with our allies, we were able to generate more emails and calls supporting this bill than our far right opponents. Other groups working on the issue include NARAL Pro-Choice North Carolina, Planned Parenthood of Central NC, Planned Parenthood Health Systems, NOW, Covenant with North Carolina's Children, the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Coalition, ACLU-NC, and the National Association of Social Workers NC.

The door slammed shut in 1995, when legislators mandated K—nine public-school sex education organized around “the positive benefits of abstinence until marriage and the risks of premarital sexual activity.” Under the Healthful Living Curriculum, “abstinence from sexual activity outside of marriage” is the “expected standard," while a “monogamous heterosexual relationship in the context of marriage” is the best method of avoiding STIs. According to Christopher Hollis, vice president for governmental and political affairs at Planned Parenthood Health Systems, Inc. (PPHS), based in Raleigh, NC, teachers must discuss contraceptive failure rates, but additional information — the role of condoms in safer sex, for example — is “not covered effectively.” Practical information on contraceptive use is not offered unless requested by a student, and per state law, teachers must obtain parental consent before informing students “where to obtain contraceptives and abortion referral services.”
