How Can I Tell My Kids Regarding Abstinence Sex?

Damn. Damn, damn, damn! We try to keep this site positive, but this question is ridiculous. When will the government step in and raise your kid for you? Hopefully for you and your children, that will never happen. I'm also not even sure what in the hell a comprehensive abstinence plan would even include. How comprehensive can "Don't have sex" be? Ignorance isn't a comprehensive concept.

I've had just about enough of people expecting, if not asking, the government to step in and bring up their kids for them.

If you think your kids are at risk because Satan walks on Earth and has decided to forget about people on an individual basis and go for a larger crowd by making records under the name Marylyn Manson, you can think that. If you don't like the video games your kids are playing, that's fine too. If you think the Harry Potter books are a demonic plan and don't want your kids to read them, hey, they're your kids, weirdo. You can instill your opinions and values upon them, damn near no matter what they are. You can even stop simply bitching and actually write into that music company, video game maker, or author and tell them basically, "Hey. I don't like or approve of what you're doing." If companies think that the repercussion against their product is considerable and might damage their image, they can decide not to continue with that product. That's different than expecting the government to get your kids on track.

The government's job isn't to raise your kid. We can pay taxes and elect officials that provide us safety, drivable highways, drinkable water, justice, and a number of other things. But who in their right mind would want their children's thoughts, opinions, and knowledge to be from the Almighty State? What do you think being a parent actually entails? Carrying them around, popping them out, and then saying, "I can't do this; Grey's Anatomy is on. Can the government do the rest?" That is ridiculous.

See, there is already a device in place for their upbringing. You. The parent. It's absolutely part of life and if people aren't capable or willing to do it, then they should seriously reconsider becoming a parent.

Do you want to know what you should be asking for? A system where no matter how comprehensive and great our sex education programs are, the students are sitting there, wildly bored because it's information they all have already heard. From home.
