This Is Crazy!

Greetings all! So, yesterday I was cruising Washington Times web site. Need to get caught up on the news; I tend to only read it about once a week. But anyway, I read an article on there about middle school students getting birth control. Birth control?? Are we serious?! Is this something that is really needed?? I mean we are talking about 6-8 graders here. When I was that age I was not even thinking about sex let alone wondering how I could get it safely. And, I know the times have changed, but if you ask me this is going in the wrong direction. When should we be allowing out kids to be getting all those chemicals entered into their bodies at such a young age. What ever happened to letting kids be kids. They have the rest of their lives to be adults, let them enjoy their youth! Its bad enough that parents are asking their children to grow up faster then they need to. And to me that is why they ended up being put on all the mind altering drugs that doctors' seem to think cure "everything" when in reality, they don't cure anything. So, please let your kids be kids they grow up fast enough without giving them more to aid them to the fact.
