On the Web, Pedophiles Extend Their Reach by battling for "Childrens Rights"

Then quit minimizing the impact of early teenage sex. The ramifications are serious, even deadly, for girls who are having sex at 13. They are disproportionately minority, disproportionately poor, they have a high risk of experiencing an unwed pregnancy, and the effects of early sexual activity last for GENERATIONS, not just months or years.

You're the one who wants to play as if this is no big deal. And THAT is fucked up as hell. I know you have all kinds of issues, including having been sexually active at an early age. Quit using your issues as a reason to stop thinking reasonably and logically about this stuff.

Oh, and thanks for the neg rep. I take the neg reps of fuckwits as compliments.

Slightly off topic .... but since when is lying and being stupid not permissible on message boards?

Whether you like it or not, teenagers are sexually active--some of them younger than your narrow minded moralizing allows. Children have a right to their feelings and to their own bodies.

[i]Faye Wattleton, president of the Center for Gender Equality in New York, recognizes that parents want to know when their children have become sexually active but says parents don't have the legal right to know.

Wattleton, author of Life On The Line, believes that the heavy responsibility of parents should rest "not on what we should know, but on what we should do." This means, according to Wattleton, that parents should arm their children with knowledge about sexuality so that they can grow into healthy sexual human beings.

"We should signal to our children that sexual activity is normal. Parents should take the time to teach their children about their sexual development, which is much broader than sexual intercourse and the enormous risks and responsibilities that go with it."

[/ "Kids who have adequate sex education delay intercourse but not sexual exploration. The fear that many parents have is that if they talk about sex, the child will think you are encouraging or condoning the behavior. That's an attitude. The data is the exact opposite. The parent who says nothing about sex, the kids are engaging in more risky behavior." I]http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m..._/ai_n27541940

God, you are so fucking retarded. My "moralizing" isn't "narrow-minded." I'm not religious. I work with teenagers for a living. My only interest in their sex lives is helping as many as possible grow up safe and healthy.

If that makes me "narrow-minded," so be it. I don't think girls should be having sex at 13. There is no possible positive outcome from that scenario.

So, what is your agenda here, precisely, Sky? I get that a small percentage of 13-year-olds are sexually active. We've been discussing that very fact for about 100 posts, minimum. Thanks for that, Commander Obvious of Planet Lesbiana.

Here are some facts. These aren't "narrow-minded," They are based upon solid research, primarily from the Seattle Social Development Project (Hawkins/Catellano).

1. Early sexual activity is a risk factor for other high risk behaviors such as drug/alcohol abuse and gang joining.

2. More than twice as many poor minority girls are sexually active at 13 than are white middle class girls.

3. The earlier a girl becomes sexually active, the greater her risk of STDs, unplanned pregnancy and/or abortion.

So, why, exactly do you think early sexual intercourse is a good thing for girls? I REALLY want to know.

And you consider yourself an expert in sniffing out pedophiles on message boards. You lose credibility with every post you make.

That is not a fact. That is just the uninformed opinion of a puritanical control freak.

Ang-- That's a hypocritical control freak. She's so worried about her 15 year old daughter going to second base while she fucks her boyfriend in the garage with her kids home.

Wow! If Scatmeow is really your real name, that avatar must really be your face!!

i wasn't granting nor denying him permission. i was offering an opinion.

message boards aren't life, BTW

Actually, it is fact. They are less likely to develop cervical cancer, less likely to get STDs, less likely to get pregnant, less likely to drop out and less likely to fuck up in general.

I've seen a few pics of her face. Another poster says it for me; "she looks like she was rode hard and put in the barn wet."

Cute.
No issues here. Let's listen to the lesbian hater, she's got all the answers to help confused adolescents navigate through puberty to adulthood.....

So, you think putting themselves at a higher risk of getting an STD is not a problem?

"STDs are on the rise among teenage girls. A recent study by the CDC found that 1 in 4 (26 %) teenage girls between the ages of 14 and 19 is infected with at least one of the most common STDs. That translates to about 3.2 million female adolescents estimated to have at least one of the most common STDs in the US. Fifteen percent in the study had more than one kind of STD.

Led by CDC’s Sara Forhan, M.D., M.P.H., the study also finds that African-American teenage girls were most severely affected. Nearly half of the young African-American women (48 percent) were infected with an STD, compared to 20 percent of young white women.

The two most common STDs overall were human papillomavirus, or HPV (18 percent), and chlamydia (4 percent). Data were based on an analysis of the 2003-2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

“Today’s data demonstrate the significant health risk STDs pose to millions of young women in this country every year,” said Kevin Fenton, M.D., director of CDC’s National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention. “Given that the health effects of STDs for women – from infertility to cervical cancer – are particularly severe, STD screening, vaccination and other prevention strategies for sexually active women are among our highest public health priorities.”

“High STD infection rates among young women, particularly young African-American women, are clear signs that we must continue developing ways to reach those most at risk,” said John M. Douglas, Jr., M.D., director of CDC’s Division of STD Prevention. “STD screening and early treatment can prevent some of the most devastating effects of untreated STDs.”

CDC recommends annual chlamydia screening for sexually active women under the age of 25. CDC also recommends that girls and women between the ages of 11 and 26 who have not been vaccinated or who have not completed the full series of shots be fully vaccinated against HPV.

The study of STDs among teenage girls is one of several presented today at the 2008 National STD Prevention Conference that highlights the significant burden of STDs among girls and women, and identifies creative prevention strategies for reducing the toll of STDs in the United States.

The severe health effects of STDs for women – from infertility to cervical cancer – shouldn’t be ignored. Teens need to know a condom isn’t always enough protection. According to the FDA, latex condoms do not protect against all STDs."

Beyond that:

You can consider me a prude, if you want, but every year that my daughter delays having sex is a year that lessens her risks.

And, the research indicates that parents who discuss sex openly and candidly with their kids (and I do, consistently), can help to delay their child's sexual activity. Teen sex is NOT inevitable:
