CC, they aren't being 'handed out'. These students recieve counseling from professionals, with birth control being an option. The teacher doesn't have a basket of IUDs on her desk.

That seems much more reasonable.

Doesn't anyone else think it's weird to hand out birth control to 11 year olds?

Yeah, but that's the city of Baltimore. What happens when we include the rest of the country?

Men do not want to waste time/resource raising another man's genetic offspring, one of the best ways to prevent such a nasty situation from occuring is to ensure people only have sex with the "appropriate" people.

My goal in life is to have another man raise my offspring.

This thread is turning back into "what age is a good age to start?".

So who should decide? Matt Drudge or professionals?

Yes. But even if we don't like it, some 11 year olds are having sex.

Here is an interesting article.

- Adolescents who pledge to remain virgins until marriage are more likely to substitute high-risk sexual behaviors that increase the likelihood of transmitting sexually transmitted diseases, according to researchers who studied the sex lives of about 12,000 teens.

- Among virgins, boys who have pledged abstinence were four times more likely to have had anal sex, according to the study.

Interesting that different studies produce such different results. I wonder if it's regional variation, methodology or a mixture?
