false analogy.
Bruh… that’s disgusting to even think about.children as young as 12 or 13 seek out condoms.
Or parents are instilling moral values and kids, like adults, slip up, or cave to the guy who complains about how condoms feel, or any of a host of other possibilities.Either the parents are instilling moral values onto their children and they have no need for condoms
Or
Parents are instilling their moral values onto children and thus they need condoms
Or
Parents are shirking their responsibilities to teach moral values altogether and the schools are trying to do damage control.
Me personally, no.Did you do this at ages 11?
IMHO, no, but that doesn’t have much to do with what I was replying to. That would be a question to a VT taxpayer and their school boards and dept of ed.This is a really good point. It has never been easier to get your own this way, without any scrutiny from any adult. So why would VT’s leaders go through the trouble and expense of this? This is a wise use of taxpayer money?
Don’t disagree…Then there seems to be no reason for schools to purchase them.
When I worked at Catholic Charities we had a school for pregnant young girls. Yes, I do mean girls. I’m talking some of them only 10 years old, and some returned year after year pregnant again. I don’t know how or why no one was able to find who was impregnating these children and prosecute them. It was terribly sad. I suppose incest was involved in many cases.When I worked in a home for unwed mothers, we had more than one 11 year old mom come through our doors.
The 2008 mortgage crisis suggest that even adults don’t have this maturity. I find the age restrictions in our society to be convoluted at best.But there’s a difference between being able to know, in an intellectual way, that certain choices are more healthy, and having the maturity to put it into practice or delaying gratification or resisting peer pressure.
True datThe 2008 mortgage crisis suggest that even adults don’t have this maturity.
I totally agree with this. Since a vaccine is a medical procedure, it belongs in a medical setting. Not in a school setting. While I personally feel 11 is too young for a child to make a medical self decision, by 14 to 16…somewhere in there…the child is old enough to make a medical self decision. Parents might prefer 18 but I disagree. These kids by this age are pretty savvy and as long as the decision is being made with a doctor, I have no objection. I’ve heard of kids that have very anti vaccination parents and are frustrated that they have to wait until 18 to get one. (I’m assuming a normally developed child).I really do not want public schools delivering vaccines to students.
