The only difference between modern times and the old days is the NUMBER of kids indulging. Knowing nothing or all about sex is a cop out. You do it, you decide, you live with it.

Oh yeah, I REALLY believe a kid actually wrote this.....

Unfortunately for us humans, experience is that thing that you get right after you really needed it.

Why don't you believe this is a kid?

[pabianice]

Right. A 15-year-old wrote this. [/sarcasm]

I think a big part of the problem is that an equal standard is not applied to the boys (regarding virginity until marriage). Boys are so pressured to be sexually active (peer group-wise) that it is actually considered shameful for a boy to admit to being a virgin. In fact, when I was in high school, I was routinely taunted for being one. (Not that they would know but they just assumed.)

Okay... following her logic, she wouldn't have had sex if she'd only had sex ed classes in middle school. By my calculations, this girl would be in 8th grade at age 13. When she does decide to have sex, it's with an older guy in her SEX ED CLASS!

This article is a load of crap. If she'd only had sex ed earlier, instead of 13, she'd be a virgin now. Right!

[Pukin Dog]

Are you joking? How many kids do you know who use the word 'specialness'? Give me a break.

"I think that if I had known more about sex and taken sex-ed classes in middle school, I would have realized that sex is not a game."

I think that if I were a liberal activist pretending to be a child in order to get noticed, I would try to come up with a more original talking point.

I don't buy it either:)

You nailed this one. My mind was screaming, "IT'S A WORK!" about two lines in.

Her family put her in a home for having sex? Sure, if it were my daugthter I'd be fuming, but I sure's Hell wouldn't boot her to the curb that way and INSURE that she'd remain in that life. Please.

And the language used is what an adult author might THINK a teenager would sound like.

I will assume you don't have in your family, or know of, any intelligent 15 year old girls.

[Bronco_Buster_FweetHyagh]

But sex is addictive

No its not.

#1 no way a kid wrote this.
#2 pictures?

[af_vet_1981]

Her family put her in a home for having sex?

Some families use crisis intervention and tough love to save a teen from an ugly life. When a teens rebel you have limited legal options and strong moral directives.

I wrote to.... editor@layouth.com

"A forum in which I participate has been discussing whether or not this letter is genuine.
What assurance can you give that a 15 year old girl actually wrote this"

I'll let you know if I get a reply.

It is difficult for me to assign this letter to either a conservative or liberal forgery because it poses 2 actions (abstinence and sex-education), one of which is contrary to either position.
