Babies trying to not have babies

I know I sound old, kids these days never cease to amaze me. A middle school in Maine has been authorized to administer birth control pills through its student health center. Students need their parent's permission to visit the center, but records are not shared with parents. There reportedly were 17 pregnancies amongst middle schoolers in the last four years in Portland's middle schools. That is absurd. Maybe I was just a goody-goody when I was 11, but I don't even think I knew what sex was!

Feel free to disagree, but in my opinion, this is just encouraging them that sex at that age is okay. And it's not.
