I wasn't sure if I should post this in Current Events because this was on the news last night - please move this if you feel it belongs there. I put it here because I wanted to branch out and discuss what's changing in our society, where 11 yr olds feel it's fine to have sex? We can also discuss the topic of mailing condoms to houses. For kids engaging in sex, I have my own theories - I think it's has to do with education at home, along with teaching family morals and enforcing strong self esteem. I also blame a large chunk of this, on free reign on the internet and porn.
This topic is important to me because I have 9 and 13 yr old daughters. I think it's scary and very sad, that a child is only innocent for 11 yrs. I get that if kids are already having sex, then it makes sense to supply them with condoms, but why are we in this position in the first place? Parents at my oldest daughters school got our own reality check when a 13 yr old girl sent pornographic pics of herself to a boy and he shared them with all his friends at school. The police and provincial sex crimes unit got involved.
The news show also mentioned a scary trend of group sex. I know I'm bit old fashioned, but when I was younger, the only people who did this were those fringe type groups - swingers etc. I also blame this on porn and lack of discussion/morals at home. If society is leaning in this direction now, what will it be like in 20's years?
