The real problem is that abstinence is almost never taught in schools.

'I can remember what happened,' says Clare, now a 17-year-old media studies student. 'But I was in such a tipsy daze I was powerless to stop it. The next morning, I could barely look at him. I felt absolutely sick, and so used and dirty.

And this is when the girl some times claims that it was rape and has the guy put in jail for umpteen years even though the sex was mutually wanted.

...so much so that this week a top police officer argued that men who have sex with girls aged 13 to 15 should not necessarily be classed as paedophiles.

Oh yes they should. One has to wonder why he feels that way.

To the liberal mindset abstinence is not even a viable alternative. In their world they "know" that there is only the option of engaging in sexual activity, and the cure is just to provide the means of avoiding pregnancy. They don't care about the psychological trauma that results from young boys and girls engaging in sexual behaviors. I truly believe that the liberals in our country want young boys and girls engaging in sexual activity, which is why we have sex forced into our faces every day. That is the real problem in this country when it comes to children and sex.

Although that is important, abstinence taught at home, by loving parents, is much more so. I pity the child who learns about sex and morality only at school.

I feel heartsick about these stories, but the real problem seems much deeper than having sex at an early age, but rather the attitude of society that young women should be promiscuous before marriage, that sex is some kind of pleasurable sport.

How would these girls feel better if they lost their virginity to a lout when they were drunk if they were 16 rather than 14 or 15??? I don't think this article gets to the heart of the problem, which more "sex education" isn't going to solve. This is a country where topless "page 3" girls are in mass circulation newspapers, where the expectation is that young girls will "do it."
