Its a sex cancer caused by casual sex.

There is the unusual occurence of a promiscuous** man giving it to a non-promiscuous woman, assuming that a non-promiscuous woman ends up marrried to a promiscuous man.

Which means a 6th grader is not going to get it unless she is promiscuous or raped.




**promiscuity: any sex outside of marriage

Which means a 6th grader is not going to get it unless she is promiscuous or raped at any time during the rest of her life.

From what I understand, the vaccine is not effective when given later in life, when sexual activity is more appropriate.

I may be wrong, though.

What color is the sun in your solar system?

Um, it's caused by any kind of sex, casual or otherwise. If the husband isn't a virgin coming into his marriage, his wife can get it, even if she was a virgin.

The timing is because of the effectiveness of the vaccine at that age, not because they want 6th graders to go out and have sex. The knee-jerking on this thread is incredible.

It's a cancer cause by casual sex.
If it were only that simple. And I suppose it is--for simpletons.

In the real world, we know that both of these things happen to pre-teens and teens all too often. Protect them from CANCER. It's just so simple and logical, unless you are incapable of logic.
BTW, have you ever seen someone that you love dies of cancer--ravaged first by treatments, then by the disease itself? I have. It happened to my sister.
