What is? How about not making a post and run and making an actual thread instead.

Don't blame this on no sex ed in school!

I think his point is in Poland it's a secondary school without sex ed.

Here in the good old US, we have 2nd graders making whoopie. And we HAVE sex ed in our schools.

My how we have 'progressed' eh?

This is what happens when sex ed doesn't exist in schools


That's what the writers of the article would have us believe.

Ostroda, Poland has a population of 33,600 people and from the looks of it on Google Earth, is in a predominately agricultural area. The odds that these children had "absolutely no idea" that intercourse leads to pregnancy is astronomical, if you ask me.

I think it is a convenient excuse. Either that or the old stereotype that Polish people are pathologically stupid is true.

I find it hard to believe in Poland or not that at 14 and 15 you never heard of intercourse. Kids today are kids today, no matter where they live, they have one over on us when we were there ages.

Sad fact of life, is that todays teenageers, like it or not, are having sex at much earlier ages, good parenting or not.

There's been sex ed for decades in HS's.

The new fad now is to get pregnant in senior year so that they can have their own "page" in the yearbook.

Now think about that...18 year old girls striving to get pregnant so they can get their own page in the year book. So once enough of them get pregnant to get their own page..then what ? Have they even though beyond that "page" ?

"Sex Ed" has never worked in the US and if anything it is the MAIN reason why youth are having intercourse younger and younger.
