First teachers and school nurses must advocate underage sex. Now they must actively seek to encourage boys into becoming parents. Your views please.Government wants teachers to tell teenage boys about the joys of fatherhood?
The joys of fatherhood? Why? That's surely for later when you're Married and have a home. First comes school, then Uni or a job. Not living like a parasite off the backs of other people. I'd rather the boys were asked to bring a photo of their bedrooms into the school, i've had two of my own and their rooms looked as though they'd been trashed and i've seen the rooms of friends teenagers, not any better. How would anyone with a room like a dump be a good responsible father? Why can't this stupid government let them grow up and stop rewarding feckless behaviour which actually keeps them on the poverty line, let them get a decent education without having to feel pressured into sex?Government wants teachers to tell teenage boys about the joys of fatherhood?
Thank you! Why aren't mums like us running the country instead of the pra*ts ruining it?
Report Abuse
It is true that this country has way too many underage pregnancies. Unfortunately, it's also true that a lot of these girls end up raising children by themselves.
Unless there is a drastic change in attitudes towards sex, this problem will continue. Sex needs to be less of a taboo: sex ed should be taught earlier, parents shouldn't be embarrassed to talk to their parents about it. Something like that will take a long time though.
In the meantime, perhaps we should encourage these boys to be fathers, not just sperm donors. The government wants these boys to grow up and take responsibility. Although it's still not ideal, it's better than young mothers struggling to raise children by themselves.
This isn't at all what I understand from the article. Firstly, there is nothing to give the idea that teachers and school nurses must advocate underage sex, the argument about whether there should be teaching about contraception is schools is a different matter. Secondly, it isn't encouraging boys to become teenage fathers, I think it's more that if a girl does get pregnant by accident too early, which can also be 16+, the father will be more confident about staying around and helping.
I don't think anyone is asking teachers and nurses to ';advocate'; underage sex, and neither are they seeking to encourage boys into becoming parents. It's attitudes like this that have discouraged proper sex education, resulting in increasing numbers of teenage pregnancies.
They are finally addressing the fact that young people have sex. They have realised that boys who do become fathers need encouragement to stay around and be a father to the child, because it is all too easy for them to walk away, especially at such a young age.
Parents should be taking responsibilty of educating their children about sex and the consequences, and it's a sad fact that many don't and now schools are having to take that responsibility.
