okay I have to weigh in here...I teach in public high school and have taught at a few schools in various environments, 1 rural school, one urban school and now the school I am at is the most diverse place I have ever taught at...and let me tell you being the pregnant teacher I had plenty of teen age girls walking around looking just as pregnant as I did. It was odd to be planning for my child as there were students doing the same. I didn't have any students this year who were pregnant at least none that kept their pregnancies. I have had a few in the past though and most of them were very happy to have children and seemed to have no idea what they were really doing, none of them really seemed to understand that they did not have normal teenage lives and would never be able to have a normal life. College, work, marriage everything will be different from them.
My students have to write public policy papers every year and one of the topics is condom distribution in schools and typically all the students are for it but also most of the kids who choose this topic also begin to realize we need more education about not just STD's, HIV/AIDS, but also about teen pregnancy.
I really hope the abstinence only education that the Bush Admin is currently pushing (and will only give schools money if they follow this plan) goes out the window on 1/20/09 because we are not helping our teens with that kind of blindness towards the problem.
I also think that boys need to be educated about taking a bigger role in protection and if necessary help to raise the baby, too many of them seem to get out of it (not all, but many)
