Most of those "stupid baby boomer hippies" are in their mid to late-60s now and retired. Perhaps the reactionary cranks will ponder the causes of social problems more deeply than the first thought that springs to mind, though it's doubtful.
These hand-wringing, teeth-gnashing "what is the world coming to???!!!!" threads are getting really tedious, though I suppose there's always a market for anxious shut-ins. |
Do you have children? I do and if anyone teaches them about sex at that age it will be me. I don't disagree that something in the UK has to be done but I don't think teaching the kids at 4 will lower the number of teenage pregnancies.
You have to look at why teenage girls are having babies and most of the time from various programs I have read is that it is to do with self esteem and being loved unconditionally which is what a child does. Therefore it is a sociallogical problem and one that 4 year olds won't understand. At the moment my daughter just knows that a baby comes from mummy's tummy and am happy with that.
Also I think a lot has to do with sex and "adult relationships" at a young age being glamourised in various programmes on TV in the UK at least.
As for being reactionary and "what is the world coming to type of preson" far from it. I just think that these are extreme ideas being thrown out as a quick fix. I don't have the answers as a lot of people don't but maybe we should do is just teach them to say No.....
