I can't find a link for this (please put one in the comments), but I heard on the radio a couple of days ago that Gordon Brown had re-affirmed his belief that people should be allowed to vote at 16. This is presumably because Gordon believes that teenagers, being generally ignorant, would be more likely to vote for a socialist party. Or perhaps Gordon genuinely thinks that a sixteen year old is, in...
Task Force Finds That Abstinence-Only Programs Don't Reduce Teen Pregnancy By Daniel J. DeNoon WebMD Health News Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD Nov. 6, 2009 -- There's no evidence that abstinence-only sexual education programs cut teens' risk of sexually transmitted disease, HIV, or pregnancy, a task force of public health experts finds. But the panel finds that sex ed that includes information about...
When I was nineteen, I took care of three little boys for a week. I was "not the mama" to a six year old, a four year old, and an almost two year old while their parents were in Cancun. I learned a lot in that week. The most important was that I would NEVER do anything to become an unwed mother. (I still think caring for someone's children would significantly reduce teen pregnancy rates.)...
Earlier this week, Ed Balls, the Education Secretary (that isn't what he calls himself but it is essentially what he is) announced that 15 year olds will have to have mandatory sex education. Cue howls of anguish from the likes of the Catholic Church and various Muslim groups who promised to fight the proposals. Now I am no fan of Mr Balls, as a very cursory inspection of this site will quickly reveal....

The reliable way to teach kids about the birds and the bees? Comprehensive sex education. That's the conclusion of an independent panel that reviewed the glut of research out there on sex education and abstinence-only programs in a study released Friday. It found solid proof of its effectiveness in "reducing a number of self-reported [sexual] risk behaviors." No surprise there, right? After...
Around two-thirds of Bristol parents believe their teenagers have no desire to discuss sex, a survey has revealed. The Bristol Teenage Pregnancy Partnership (BTTP) says their research reveals a huge gap between the amount of information adolescents want about sex and the amount they actually receive, with teenagers increasingly turning to the internet, friends and the [...]
Decisions on sex education and crucifixes in classrooms are highly illiberal intrusions into our lives and those of our children When is a right not a right? When it concerns the education of children. The respective (and entirely contradictory) decisions of the children's secretary Ed Balls and the European Court of Human Rights this week would be laughable if they weren't both so serious. In the...
The General Secretary of my trade union has a little paragraph in The Times today - utterly illogical and rather muddled it is, to say the least. I rather suspect that the leaders of other teacher unions were a bit more savvy than she was, and did not let themselves get drawn in to commenting. With one of the highest teenage pregnancy rates in Europe, whatever we are doing at the moment we are not...

The National Council on Patient Information and Education (NCPIE), along with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and representatives from 15 nationally recognized prevention, health professional and child advocacy organizations, are launching Maximizing Your Role as a Teen Influencer: What You Can Do to Help Prevent Teen Prescription Drug Abuse.
Ed "Balls" has removed the rights of parents to take their children out of sex education classes after the deligtful little poppets are 15 years old. Now clearly the state says you can fuck your girlfriend when she's 16, so it makes sense that she at least knows where babies come from before her birthday. Normally, the only people who object to sex education are religious lunatics but in...

Megan Fox is pretty scary, though somehow not as scary as she was in Transformers, says Peter Bradshaw Diablo Cody's screenwriting encore to Juno – her superbly gentle and funny teenage-pregnancy comedy– turns out to be a genre high-school horror flick with a satirical edge, starring super-hot Megan Fox as a sexy, popular, manipulative girl who is evil. As Cody's script puts it: not high-school...

The Problem of Unwanted Teenage Pregnancy | Teenage Pregnancy Teenage pregnancy causes several problems for the teen herself, and for the people around her. The most immediate concern is that the teenage is not financially independent yet. So family members tend to worry about her livelihood. Without financial independence, child rearing responsibilities often fall on other family members like the
