Birth Control For YOUR 6th grader?
I remember when I was in the 6th grade a few of my classmates were dating "older" guys. They were making out at a time when I hadn't even HELD HANDS with a boy yet.
By seventh grade a few were already pregnant and dropped out of school. By eight grade, I thought I was the only virgin. And still, hadn't even KISSED a boy. Or held hands with one.
Now, according to MSN NEWS you may not have to worry about YOUR preteen kids getting pregnant like my friends did because they are offering birth control to them.
YES! You read right! Birth control. A school in Maine has recently approved the dispersal of contraceptives to their preteen students.
In fact, "The plan, offered by city health officials, makes King Middle School the first middle school in Maine to make a full range of contraception available to students in grades 6 through 8, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services."
