Short of locking them up around the clock, you literally can't stop teens from having sex if they want to. And if you withhold access to contraception, you're going to end up with a lot more pregnant teens.

I started having sex at fourteen. If I hadn't had access to contraception, it wouldn't have stopped me from having sex. But it would almost certainly have resulted in one or more teen pregnancies.

They were wrong.

What's an uncomfortable truth you've learned to accept?

My favorite playmate back then was the daughter of a church deacon and butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth. I guarantee you that her parents were certain she was too pure and too good a Christian to have sex with that weird Edwards boy down the road.

You can pretend that it won't happen to kids who are raised in good households by attentive parents, but you'll be fooling yourself.

If you’re looking for a way to make a bad situation worse, you've picked a great way to do it.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?
