grlpwrd said:I have 11yo and 8yo daughters and I used to work in an STD Clinic as a research assistant. We speak freely about birth control and sex. They know the dangers and consequences of sex, like STDs and pregnancy. I tell them often how if they have sex too early they can contract the human papilloma virus which could affect their childbearing years. I also show them pics of women who have STDs like gonorrhea and syphilis. I do this to keep it real, but also to let them know sex is not for kids.
It's difficult times for kids nowadays and I know it's not realistic for everyone to wait until marriage like I did so I guess I would help them get birth control if they came to me. I would be disappointed and it does seem like I would be condoning it, but it could be a matter of life and death. I have to protect them.
