My friend Anne Ravana covered an interesting meeting the other night in Bangor about teens and birth control. Last year a middle school in Portland began doling out birth control to their students which caused quite a stir. One good point: teens need a parent with them to get their ears pierced but their parents don't even have to know if their child gets an abortion.
Kids don't want to talk to their parents about their sex lives any more than parents want to talk about their sex life with their kids. Teens are going to have sex no matter what. Better to do it with protection than without.
Listen to Anne's story here.
