Only hardcore moralist parents forbid their underage children alcohol?
Interesting take.
That's not what I said.
I'm talking about the ones who shelter their kids and ignore reality.
And these "reality" parents.... the ones that say "if" you are going to have sex, you should use protection (girl: put her on the pill). Why not tell them that they do not have to have sex to be an awesome person? Why not tell them that if they have sex, the consequences can be STDs, pregnancy (are you ready to be a parent, no, then don't have sex), or even death? Why not explain to them that they can wait until "they" are ready with the appropriate person, the appropriate place, and the appropriate time? Sex can be a very beautiful gift to someone you love or it can be an ugly act of subjugation. Why not teach children that they "can" wait? Why not teach them that they are not missing anything by enjoying childhood until they are ready to take on the responsibilities of adulthood?
1.) Never heard anyone, especially teachers in health class or parents talking to their teenage child, say having sex makes you an awesome person. More hysterical diatribe.
2.) Those conseqeuences are already said, repeatedly.
3.) Children are already taught they can and should wait.
What do hardcore social conservatives think takes place in sex ed classes? All out orgies?
