Paying to Decrease Teen Pregnancy

There is no question that financial gain can incentivize behavior. At 5, some kids may get a small allowance upon properly brushing their teeth. At 12, they may get a token amount upon taking out the garbage. In North Carolina,...

Juvenile Incapacity

A terrific post by The Heresiarch on continuing calls to lower the voting age to 16 ( via DK ): ... in other ways, at sixteen many youngsters are much less "adult" than they were even a generation ago. That's certainly the message that is coming from the government. New restrictions on the freedom and capacity of teenagers have been brought in continually under New Labour. The age at which...

Votes at 16

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.

Single Mother Survival

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.)...

Sex ed gets another endorsement

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...

Repost: What A Girl Wants #7: Because we are not all rich girls. Also: WAGW #9 is up!

Another repost of my answer to one of Colleen Mondor’s excellent What A Girl Wants questions. Here’s Colleen’s question: Do you think historic MG & YA fiction addresses socioeconomic status more effectively than contemporary titles? Why or why not? Is it just easier for us to think of the Marches in Little Women struggling in the face of war than the middle class family down the...
