Even then, a safety measure, without the knowledge of parents themselves!?
Agree, this isn't healthy at all. Further widens the teen-parent gap.
I was trying to express my annoyance towards naive stands like advocating abstinence. The Bush Administration is leaning towards this direction. The extreme right opinion about these things is IMO cold to the teenagers with a kind of "its their own making" attitude. This attitude and naivete are dangerous.
You see this kind of attitude in many Indian opinon colum writers/politicians too - not to mention hoary cultural traditions - which is worrisome.
I remember an AIDS awareness campaign advertisement on DD a couple of years back that was shot down by some Women's Rights Organization (!) which alleged that the ad condoned promiscuity by promoting contraceptives. :banghead:
