Howver, I can't see much chance of peer pressure to have sex in first grade. Still, peer pressure exists due to the fact that older people make steamy movies that end up rated PG, or cable TV shows that end up syndicated for younger people to see, and it is older people who also started advocating sex at younger ages. The influence comes from above.Sheryl Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11821759685763799982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1326299186511649639.post-29511006184141457332010-07-04T02:47:43.980-07:002010-07-04T02:47:43.980-07:00Peer pressure - ever heard of it?

Then there is poor sex education as opposed to good - half the story or distortions. Remember, peer impression has its own sex education, and it may have more effect than the formal stuff. The decision to supply condoms - it's not about children's rights to make a decision as to whether to have sex, it is based on a fact that some are already doing so, they have made that choice, however unwise and ill-informed. Controversial, agreed, but the common aim of both views is prevention of conception. Both elements have their own merits as well as demerits. If they care about the kids and not respective adult agendas, maybe they should "hook-up"? How full, or empty is your glass? Many kids do not indulge because they practice abstinence without any campaigning, some others indulge and practice safe sex. And I really do think you need to change your attitude if you think that those advocating access to condoms etc do not also agree that 'not doing it' is not the best course. I ave never met anyone on that side who doesn't agree, all they ask is "but what if they do for all we say"?Bognor Regis Heraldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053903360049633138noreply@blogger.com
