Re: Hymen Check
The problems are staring us in the face and we continue to tippy-toe around them.
Other than appealing to the better side of the folks who perpetuate this <span style="font-style: italic">out of wedlock baby-having</span>, I really cannot imagine what can be done to stem the tide of foolishness where people seem to think that babies are like ornamnents and acessories...and they can just have them around without caring about how they'll rear them...or if they have the material things, caring then about the emotional development of the babies.
Somehow, something is mixed-up.

. I only noticed this desire to have children out of wedlock and at such a young age when I started attending school in the U.S. Many, many, many of the girls, for whatever reasons, felt that if they had a child, then that child would offer them the unconditional love they were missing from their lives. I'm not making this up. These were the actual words from most of these girls whenever they were in some sort of teen group discussions, career/future counseling sessions, etc. They wanted to be loved unconditionally and, for whatever reason, they felt like they were not receiving this at home.
). I asked him if his parents had actually sat down and <span style="font-style: italic">really</span> discussed the issue of sex with him - not just the physical, but the emotional and psychological. His response was no - that all he was told by them was to use a condom. He was later bothered by why the young lady had formed such a close attachment to him, yadda, yadda, ya. I tried explaining that it was different for girls, and what have you. Though this happened with a male, the issues are still the same. Most parents think that dealing with the <span style="font-style: italic">complete</span> issue of sex is taboo. They only advise their children of the physical without addressing the other deeper, psychological issues. I personally believe that it's this mindset that keeps many parents from showing their children that they are loved unconditionally - for if a child (<span style="font-style: italic">vis </span>daughter) feels like they are loved and cherished at home, then they won't be seeking solace outside the home, imo.
