How do you feel about your children reading mature books in High school?

Well today for homework were supposed to pick a book off a list for a project.Well i decided to look up some of the books and heres a quote:

Recreational heterosexual and homosexual sex is an integral part of society. In this egalitarian society, everyone is treated equally. According to The World State, sex is a social activity rather than a means of reproduction and is encouraged from early childhood; the few women who can reproduce are conditioned to take birth control. The maxim “everyone belongs to everyone else” is repeated often, and the idea of a “family” is considered taboo; sexual competition and emotional, romantic relationships are rendered obsolete because they are no longer needed. Marriage, natural birth, parenthood, and pregnancy are considered too obscene to be mentioned in casual conversation. Thus, society has advanced to a new level of reproductive comprehension.

Personally i could take it because im not immature but im wondering how would you feel about your teen reading a book like this?
Hey the name of the book is

Brave New World
I just put that quote so you would know the kind of views and could understand what i was talking about.

It wasnt shocking at all to be honest because it basically true.

What do people when they say our kids need better sex education?

When I was kid, we learned these things in sex ed in grade school I believe:

– Pregnancy is the natural result of having sex.

– You can get STDs from sex.

– Condoms, when used properly, greatly reduce the chance of becoming pregnant and diminish the chance of contracting certain STDs, and prevent others.

– Birth control pills, spermicides, etc. are available to lessen the chance of pregnancy.

– “Pulling out” is risky and stupid.

– There are morning after pills you can take.

– The only way to 100% guarantee you will not become pregnant is to not have sex or get yourself sterilized, or have a partner who has been sterilized.

—–

So, my question is what else do people think kids need to learn in school? If that isn’t enough for a kid, then, IMO, that kid is a dumbass and I’m not sure additional education would even help. What else do the kids need? And if parents are worried that their kids are not getting enough sex education, why don’t they teach them themselves or buy them a book about it?

What I learned seemed enough. I never got knocked up like a moron, and all my male peers knew what condoms were.

Are they teaching kids differently today, or are kids just more stupid/lazy and don’t care?
@Twimmie

“I graduated in 2006 and all we learned was abstience is the only safe method to prevent pregnancy and stds,”

It is the safest method. No lies here. No one who practices abstinence gets pregnant. 😉

“we were taught pulling out is stuid and risky, condoms are very likey to break and will not prevent some stds,”

Pulling out is stupid and risky. Condoms can break and do not always prevent you from getting some STDs. While I disagree that condoms are “very likely” to break, they can.

“and we didn’t even cover other types of birth control. It’s no wonder I got pregnant at 15”

No one prevented you from picking up a book or using Google in case you weren’t sure about something. You were free to ask your parents about birth control. If they didn’t let you have it and you had sex anyway and got pregnant, that is still your fault. No one forced you to spread your legs, don’t blame others for your stupidity. Unless you were raped, its YOUR fault you got pregnant
I thought showing kids what it is like to have to care for a kid would help with stuff, but now that minors can get abortions without parental consent, it wouldn’t help since if they get pregnant they can just abort.

I guess I just don’t understand why parents are not teaching their children about sex if its such a big issue.

If I felt my kid wasn’t learning enough about math, I wouldn’t just let them continue learning nothing and bitch to the school about it. I’d teach them about math on my own time.

Question for people who oppose gay marriage for religious reasons..?

Here is a hypothetical scenario for you:

In a world far away from this one, called Khaosi, being gay is actually the norm, whereas heterosexuality is seen as “abnormal”. And by some people, it is even seen as “disgusting”..

Everybody is supposed to fall in love with people of the same gender. Natural, unplanned pregnancies are considered “barbaric” by the vast majority. Kids are created in laboratories instead, or women get inseminated, if indeed they want that. (Which most don’t.)

In Khaosi, the majority of the people are theists. They have a goddess called Adriliana, who they worship seven times a day. Adriliana has, supposedly, left them a book 5000 years ago, which she wrote herself before she burst into flames and ascended up into heaven, never to be heard from again.. This book, which is called The Adrilia, is NOT updated as time passes by. And no matter how absurd it might sound to you, some people actually take it 100 % literally and base their lives around it..

There has been debates in Khaosi lately, about whether or not straight people should be able to marry, and should be treated as regular human beings.. Straight people are in support of the idea, of course. And so are their friends, families and allies. Others have not yet decided where they stand on this issue.

But the followers of Adriliana, who are in the majority, are virulently opposed to the idea! Why..? Because in The Adrilia, Chapter 98, verse 976, it says this:

“Heterosexuals are wretched, immoral people, and they are to be treated as such. In the name of our one and only goddess Adriliana, they are NOT to be given any rights, and they deserve whatever persecution they get.”

Adriliana’s followers actually choose NOT to question this rule!! It is in the Adrilia, and that is enough for them. Even though no one has ANY evidence of Adriliana actually existing..

Some of the heterosexuals, and also people from the vast homosexual majority, are atheists. They don’t believe in Adriliana, or in any other gods for that matter, and they cannot for the life of them fathom why the Adrilia should be accepted in society, and even used as a tool to discriminate others solely based on religion!

So now I just want to ask:
Can you? Can YOU understand it?! If you were a heterosexual person living in Khaosi, would you put up with this?!?!? No matter if you believed in Adriliana or not, can you seriously say you would think people should follow the Adrilia blindly, and use it to deny you your basic human rights?! Why? Why not? Please explain to me….

Pregnancy, Pcos and just plain old frustrated Nurse OBGYN please?

I found out that I have PCOS about 11 years ago after on and off periods, thankfully six years ago now I became pregnant with my son. He was born premature at six months and as of today nobody has a definite answer as to why. I do have periods that come regular at times and then back to the old once every three months. I am now 31 and totally ready to have another one I am beyond frustrated at this point so here is some details and would love some feedback.

We have used no Birth Control since I have had my son (6 years ago)

I have tried Rasberry Tea and Chaste berry tea both helped bring the period back

I am desperately trying to not go on a hormone replacement therapy so is there something else I should try?? Natural approach???

Do you still ovulate even when you don’t have a period??

My last menstral cycle started on 4/20/11 we had intercourse every other day until May 10th I have had no period yet and two preggo test came back negative.

If all else fails I am planning on going to the doctor sometime in July for some extra help, but please if you know of anything that I should try before then please respond.

My rabbit has made a nest of hair for her false pregnancy. To avoid woolblock, how soon do I remove the nest?

My 8-9 month old indoor female rabbit has been building a nest of her stomach hair and grass. She has never been around a buck, so I’m assuming a false pregnancy. Tonight I noticed hair sticking out of her mouth and when I pulled on it, a large wad of hair came out! Three large wads later her mouth was cleared out. I’ve never had a rabbit before and I’m afraid she’ll choke on it or get a woolblock. I give her plenty of natural hay and Timothy hay cubes, but I’m terrified of woolblock. I’ve read numerous things that mentioned not leaving her hair lying around, so how soon after she’s passed the false pregnancy do I leave her hair lying around in her cage? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Do I keep pulling the hair out of her mouth when its just sitting in there?

Any good tummy tightening tips for a new mom?

My second child is 4 months old now and I would like to start toning up my tummy. My first baby was a c-section but this birth was natural so I have recovered alot faster and gone down to 111lbs from 145lbs. (I was 108lbs before pregnancy)
After my first baby I did pilates which I really enjoyed, but I have recently moved abroad and can’t find any reasonably priced classes in my area. Also I have alot more loose skin to contend with than last time and am thinking I may need a stricter toning plan (even though I know I will never really get rid of the loose skin). Any suggestions will be most welcome, keeping in mind I have a 2 year old and a 4 month old to look after, lol. Thanks!

How to make my hair thicker?

My hair has always been thin. It got a bit thicker during pregnancy but I lost a lot of hair after my baby was 5 months old so ended up with even thinner hair. Now my hair slowly got back to the same thickness with before. Does any one know any natural way to make hair thicker?

I had a Hysterosalpingogram and the radiologist was unable to get the catheter in uterus. What does this mean

I had a Hysterosalpingogram yesterday, and the radiologist was unable to get the catheter inside my uterus. I don’t see my regular doctor for a few weeks to discuss the results so I am trying to get info on my own. I am concerned that it is a blockage or something that would not only prevent a natural pregnancy but also artificial insemination or IVF, since those require the catheters as well. Does anyone have any experience with this problem? I am at a loss as to what this means.

Are humans trying to play God with Science?

With so many ways to have a baby:

1. Natural sex
2. Artificial insemination — of mother with father’s sperm
3. Artificial insemination — of mother with donor sperm
4. Artificial insemination — with egg and sperm donors, using surrogate mother
5. In vitro fertilization (IVF) — using egg and sperm of parents
6. IVF — with Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
7. IVF — with frozen embryos
8. IVF — with Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)
9. IVF — with egg donor
10. IVF — with sperm donor
11. IVF — with egg and sperm donor
12. IVF — with surrogate using parents’ egg and sperm
13. IVF — with surrogate and egg donor
14. IVF — with surrogate and sperm donor
15. IVF — with surrogate using her egg, sperm from baby’s father
16. IVF — with surrogate using egg and sperm donors*
17. Cytoplasmic transfer**
18. Nuclear transfer and cloning

Are humans taking things too far?

HELP! PCOS AND TTC!!!?

I have PCOS I was diagnosed 2 years ago and my husband and I have been TTC for over 15 months now we have tried all the clomid dosages and everything so that is out of the question I want to try something natural before we go into the IUI or IVF or ICSI

Looking into the OBGYN profession…?

Hi, I’m a female high school student and would love to become an OBGYN one day. There is one issue though and that is consciously I would not be able to perform hysterectomies as well as IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). I believe in natural birth and both of these procedures go contrary to it. Is there any way to avoid these procedures during residency if I eventually do become an OBGYN? I would work in private practice if I do end up becoming an OBGYN so my only worry is during residency.

Lighter period a week early, pregnancy symptoms, negative pregnancy test?

I had my daughter 6 months ago and breastfed for 4 months. I have had a few cycles now but they had been only about 25 days long and I know that I ovulated each cycle. This last cycle I ovulated but I bled at 21 days (Spotted 1 day bled 1 day spotted 1 day). And it more like spotting with one day that could be actually counted as bleeding. I have been having a lot of the same pregnancy symptoms I had with both of my children but have gotten 3 negative hpt’s. Sore boobs, TIRED, hungry, bloated, emotional. I am taking another test today but I am wondering if there is any other explanation for these symptoms. I was not on hormonal birth control. We use Creighton Method Natural Family Planning.

***Think before you respond! There is no reason to hangout on yahoo answers just to be a twit and leave dumb answers. Get a life!****

Thanks in advance!
Yes I did know that about the implantation bleeding that’s why I am so confused. I had implantation bleeding with my 2nd daughter. Thanks for your response!

Natural Birth and pregnant? questions…?

My boyfriend has gotten off in me 4 times since my last period, and I am usually on my period every 23 or 25 days. It has now been 30 days. I have been super nautious, but haven’t thrown up. I’ve almost passed out because I’ve been so lightheaded and I’ve been really hungry, but when I go to get something to eat, I don’t want to eat anymore. I haven’t had time to go get a pregnancy test, but it sound like I am, doesn’t it? Also, I was thinking that if I am, has anyone gone through a pregnancy without seeing a doctor? I know it helps alot, but I had a friend who was pregnant about 10 years ago and the doctors told her her baby was sick, and around the 8th month, something made her loose her baby because they were doing a bunch of tests on her, and a couple of years ago, she got pregnant again, and the doctors in a different hospital, and a different state told her the same things, and she didn’t want to loose her 2nd baby, so she spent the 2nd half of her pregnancy alone and didn’t see one doctor and ended up giving birth to a perfectly healthy baby on her bathroom floor, but I mean she did see doctors for the first half. and if you gave birth naturally, would you use drugs your second time around? Is it worth it to have a natural birth? I told you there was a lot of questions. I’ve just had those questions on my mind and wanted to especially see if anyone else had a natural pregnancy.

Will my recent miscarriage affect this early pregnancy?

I’ve recently have a m/c at 6 weeks on Aug 5th. I took a clear blue test last sat. and got a “pregnant” read out, I then took two First Response test with the second line so faint I could hardly tell it was there. So I think that I’m pregnant again, but its only been about three weeks since my m/c. I had a natural m/c and only bled for 4-5 days, no pain. My hcg level was at 0 when I did a blood test the monday before I took my pregnancy test. I’m terrified of having another m/c or a chemical one, could my recent m/c affect my current pregnancy?

Will the world be a better place if children were born inside of test tubes instead of in the womb?

Natural births lead to deaths and painful events. Wouldn’t the world be better if a mother never had to gain weight, or push, or anything that goes with pregnancy? A girl or woman would never have to change their lifestyle they could just keep working and paying attention to the things that are important to them. Would the world be a better place if natural pregnancy‘s were out dated?

Is a miscarriage as tragic as the death of a child? Relate your answer to the abortion debate.?

If a mother loses her 5yr old child it becomes a news story
If a mother deliberately agrees to abort a pregnancy it becomes a political and religious cause.
But what if a mother loses her unborn child through no will of her own?

Given that so many people feel that an abortion is the killing of a living human, I would expect all of those people to feel that a miscarriage is the natural death of a living human being. So why do they only make news stories out of dead children?
I’m very grateful for your thoughtful answers. There are some superb comments.

Abstinence fallacy vs Netherland’s statistics?

How do ultra-conservative “Ward and June Cleavers” in this country justify the fact that in the United States, the teen pregnancy rate is more than nine times higher than that in the Netherlands, nearly four times higher than the rate in France, and nearly five times higher than that in Germany.

But, in stark contrast to the USA’s more repressive, inhibited approach to teenage sexuality and education, families in the Netherlands have open, honest, consistent discussions with teens about sexuality and support the role of educators and health care providers in making sexual health information and services available for teens.

Over there, adults see intimate sexual relationships as normal and natural for older adolescents, a positive component of emotionally healthy maturation. At the same time, young people believe it is “stupid and irresponsible ” to have sex without protection and use the maxim, “safer sex or no sex.”

What exactly is it about this that is not understood here?
And please confine your comments to the topic at hand. We’re talking about the contrasting teen pg statistics; nothing else. Our system fails/theirs succeeds.

Has anyone experienced Preconceptual Counseling? I received a referral from my OBGYN.?

I’m 27 + married and I think that I should consider pregnancy sooner rather than later due to my very weak spine and past surgeries (I’ve never had spinal surgery). I could also have some fertility problems due to never having a natural period (at 17 years old, I still didn’t have my period and was placed on the pill to begin my period- I’ve recently stopped taking the pill to see if I get a natural period.) What can I expect from counseling?

am i expecting too much or do i have a right to be upset?

i am currently 31w3d preg and i have a 2 yr old as well. all day long i am making doc appts cleaning the house and running after my 2 yr old and dealing w/ all the natural aches of pregnancy going to work 3 nights a week and on the weekends and so much more it seems like… all while my husband wakes up goes to work then comes home and sits down and doesnt hardly do anything. then he camplains about all the stuff i didnt do that day rather then noticing what i did do. he is also putting no interest into this pregnancy w/ my first he wanted to go to all doc appts and he knew everything that was going on now he has no clue what is going on he never goes to doc appts w/ me or anything he doesnt even know where my doc is how often i have to go how much the baby moves or ANYTHING and i am just soo upset that i feel like even at this far in my pregnancy i amm still doing everything i have swollen ankles and no time to rest. and when he is home at night and i am off work instead of him taking over w/ my son he wants me to still run after him and cook dinner and run to the store and a million other thing…all i want is for him to show that he cares just a little… . do you think i have reason to be upset about all this or am i just over reacting about all of it?

i had only been with my boyfriend for a month and fell pregnant straight away.
she looks misserable everytime im around her and i havnt had one congratulations from her.
the only coments she makes are how mis-behaved the baby is going to be and how my boyfriend isnt going to cope. she has planned a long trip away a week before my baby is due.
i can see its hurting my boyfriend.
what can i do?

question for “pro lifers”?

if you wanted a child and found that you could not have one by natural means would you:

A. try IVF
B. opt for surrogacy
C. get on that adoption waiting list for that perfect, blonde, blue eyed caucasian infant
D. adopt a foster kid
most ‘pro lifers’ i’ve met are racist.
every ‘pro life’ propaganda poster i’ve ever seen depicts a white baby.

Normal but slow rising HCG?

I am currently pregnant – 6 weeks & 2 days. This comes as a total surprise because I’m 40 AND I was told that I would likely never have kids the natural way (I have 2 boys from IVF).
Problem is that I know enough to be dangerous and am concerned about my HCG levels. They are in the normal levels for the week(s) I am pregnant but not rising appropriately….
Test 1, 4 wks, 6 days = 2927
Test 2, 5 wks, 3 days = 4011 (nowhere near doubling after 4 days)
Test 3, 5 wks, 5 days = 4887 (again, not even close to doubling)

They checked my progesterone with the 2nd hcg test and it was good at 20.35. I’m anxiously waiting for an u/s which won’t likely happen until next week or the week after. With my boys, my HCG levels were checked so early that the numbers were generally only double-digits but I think they doubled that early on. And I know that not everyone responds as typical/normal. I’m experiencing pg symptoms (fuller abdomen, breasts & exhaustion) and no signs of m/c.

Has this turned out well/positive for anyone? I’m trying to be +++ because I know there is nothing I can do until I have the u/s……..

Is anyone else insulted by this?

I can’t believe that in all the pregnancy books I have and all the emails I get they all bang on so much about weight gain. And not about gaining lots, about how not to gain too much. I can’t believe it! Isn’t it enough with all the bloody pressure that’s on us women over how we look when we’re not pregnant, can’t we have a break? Aren’t our bodies undergoing a natural process that we don’t have any control over? I think the miracle we make with our bodies makes us beautiful no matter what our size. I’m all for being healthy but the next time I hear the phrase ‘post-baby body’ again I am going to scream. Sorry about my little tantrum there but seriously, anyone else find this really ridiculous?

And PS, before you say it, I’ve unsubscribed to the offending emails and stopped reading those particular books.
I would like to point out that I do say I am all for being healthy, like eating well and exercising. Just not with a weight goal in mind.

Healthy eating = more kilos? please help me understand?

last monday i was obese (117kgs also known as 257.4 lbs) i was eatting rubbish, not exercising at all, i was smoking a pack a day.

last Tuesday i discovered i was pregnant. My husband and i are over the moon! we raced out and bought a book about pregnancy.
following the books advice i quit smoking immediately, stoped drinking soft drink, gave up caffenine. started eating only natural sugars (from fruit etc) and complex carbs. i follow a healthy food pyramid. and drink loads of water.
i started walking for 30mins every morning and an hour in the evenings most days.

here i am a week later and i have put on two more kilos (4.4 pounds).

the baby is the size of an apple seed, and at 6 weeks i am not showing at all. so it’s not “baby weight”.

please help me understand?

pregnancy-has anyone been induced after having a ceserian with first bub.?

I wanted to attempt vbac but unfortunately i have gestational diabetes as long with me already being a high risk from having a ceserian last time. I really wanted to go naturally this time, experience it atleast, even my water breaking. I am booked for a ceserian on the 11 as they say its a high risk for scar rupture as contractions increase when being induced..BUT… has anyone been induced after having a ceserian. my ces was breech but this baby is head down, if only i could get this baby out of me before the ceserian theyll give me a trial vbac for as long as 11 hours, seeing if things progress. ok im not trying castor oil as i dont want diarhea during my labour, and i mean constant, not just a poop, lol. I have tried chamomile, any one know if that works, i heard it does, two strong cups, still nothing.. wiggling my hips around, sex.. but not much as hubby feels too uncomfertable.. walking 1.6 kms a day, im just freaking out, i dont want this ceserian again, i dont have anyone to care for my son when it happens..I need this baby out of me, alot of information would be helpful..so questions..
Any other natural ways of inducing besides what i have done..
And have you or anyone else been induced after havign a ceserian, did it go well , and so on, and babies with gestational diabetes, anything risky or scary that i should be aware of.

Please tell me why i feel this way.?

will I able to deliver a baby ever?

This is about pregnancy .
I am 30 years old.
I had 2 miscarraiges in past. Both times doctor adviced me to to D & C as heartbeats not detected.
both times d & C happened in 11 the week.

After that I did all the tests right from TORCH to genetic study of mine and the baby after D & C.
all the reports are noramal except few things

1. I have a menustual cycle of 35-40 days. sometimes it is exactly 30 days.
when I did ovulation study , doctor said to me as the follicle growing is slow . It is getting ruptured correctly but
it takes more time.In healthy case rupturing of ovary should happen within 15 days.

2. harmone “Homocystin” level is high.( I am taking folinext and biotin for this and now it is in control)

I am very much worried about 1 st point. Doctor has given me tablets “ovulet ” to stimulate this process . now my ovulation cycle is perfect.
but does it really helpful . as this is not the natural way , if i become preganant does egg quality , pregancy will be healthy ?

I am doubtful if I am able to ever deliver a baby.
please share your thoughts.

does anybody has same problem and delivered baby successfully?

Negative pregnancy test. Week late on period ?

Ok. So i had a natural miscarriage July 9th- July 15th. All my pregnancy symptoms were gone by the 12th of July.(I was only about 3 weeks) My period would have been due (28 day cycle) on august 6th. I know after a miscarrriage it can take a while for your cylcles to be normal, if they ever do. Anyways, I’m having different pregnancy symptoms. When I was pregnant with my MC I had swollen boobs. No nipple color change.Sore breasts. Peeing a lot. And nausea. The only difference this time is I don’t have swollen boobs. Boobs are a lot more sore than last time. but the circle around my nipples are getting darker. I’ve been nauseous. Bloated. And more tired. I have taken many pregnancy test and negative. (except for one dissapearing positive line) so my question is, has anyone ever experienced pregnancy symptoms after a miscarriage and not been pregnant? Or has been pregnant? Btw I’m going to the dr next week and I just want some opinions while I’m waiting.

Btw im 20 and if I am pregnant, I would be ( I think) about 4 weeks

Thanks
