OK, so for decades now children have been taught that smoking is bad for a variety of reasons. Schools, pediatricians, government purchased ads on TV, everything available has been utilized to get people to stop smoking, especially the children.
But sex? At the age of 14? Well, that's going to happen no matter what so we just need to help 14 year old girls convince their boyfriends to use a rubber. Does anyone else see this as bizarre and nonsensical?
Here's the link - http://washingtonexaminer.com/feds-100000-to-teach-teen-girls-condom-negotiation/article/2514683#.ULktOHDTkuS
Here's the quote that just floored me... (italics mind)...
"To prepare the girls for these types of situations, the counselors and pediatricians will teach them how to negotiate condom use with their partner. The intervention also helps empower and motivate girls to make healthier choices regarding their alcohol use, smoking and prevention of unplanned pregnancy."
So there you go, the little girls will taught how to make healthier choices regarding alcohol and smoking, which I'm guessing is "Don't use them", but regarding sex? Negotiate condom use.
How about the lesson regarding smoking and alcohol be the same for sex but with an age conditioner, "Don't drink, you'll make bad decisions. Don't smoke, it'll ruin your lungs. Don't have sex until you're 18, you're not emotionally established."
