it seems that birth control is most efficient when there is good,proper, and recurring sex education in school.

Fertility rates among teenage girls had been declining for more than a decade since 1957

-Jacqueline Kasun, The War Against Poplution (SanFrancisco: Ignatisu Press, 1988). P 144.

Veneral diseases was also declining. The rae of infection for gonorrhea, for example, decline every year from 1950 - 1959, and the rate of syphilis infection was, by 1960, less than half of what it had been in 1950.

after 1968 when sex education was forced into schools in 1970 teen pregnacy rate among 15 to 19 year old females rose from 68 per 1,000 to 96 per 1,000 in 1980.

Among unmarried girls the birth rate rose from 1970 to 1980 29%.

Maybe education is the answer but the schools i know only really do Pseudo-sexeducation.

Maybe education is the answer but the schools i know only really do Pseudo-sexeducation.

Ideally, they present a nonbiased aproach, explaining the science. How reproduction works, and that contracptives reduce the chance of pregnancy. It should be up to the parent to tell the kids how to use this knowledge.

while in New Jersey sex ed is required as part of the health curriculum, and so is the discussion of HIV and AIDS. Source:http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/news/WABC_ourschools_052102sexed.html

BTW, abstinence is the only 100% failsafe method of preventign pregnancy and VD.

Maybe if the fathers were not held financially accountable then the financial burden for teenage pregnancies would be placed on the girls parents. This may mean that contraception would be advocate to a stronger degree both at school and at home. But what type of contraception would it be, not a type that gives the responsibility for contraception to the man. And since we all know men like to be in control. . . .
