Sorry it's been awhile ladies, my computer died. I plan on having a funeral for it this evening. It is in a better place now:~)
To my dismay, our local news station announced that one of Rhode Islands High Schools is ranking high for teen pregnancies this year. With 12 of its students already pregnant the school system is worried this is going to be an ever growing problem.
To prevent the issue they plan on passing out free birth control packs out to the students. Of course some agree and some don't. Being a pregnant teen myself in 2001 I can honestly say that the bulk of the problem lies in the media.
Everytime you turn around you see another pop star gone bad blasting naked pics of themselves, rated R, I mean PG movies with sex and violence, magazines with provacative photos of women, etc...It's every where!
I just stumbled upon an article about slutty prom dresses being all the rage this year. Is it any different from last year or the year before or even the year before that???
Here's the article.... http://momlogic.com/2008/05/27_slutty_prom_dresses.php ...You be the judge.

Did you forget to link it, or did the linking thingy fail? I can't see it. I want to see it, but I can't. ; )
As one who was a pregnant teen, did celebrity stuff really affect your decision to have sex? I often think it's the music videos that contribute to the idea that if you don't put out, you're a prudish freak and you'll lose your boyfriend.
I saw this story yesterday on Today. My 14 year old was wandering in and out of the room, getting ready for school. She quickly left when this story came on. I think she was afraid that I was going to bring up the subject, and it's not her favorite subject to talk about lol.
Is it the media's fault? Partly. When Britney Spears (and her sister) make the cover of every single newspaper, tabloid etc, of course that's what the kids are going to talk about. You always hear about the "bad" things celebrity girls are doing- but never the good stuff.
I don't think it's all the media's fault. Parents need to step up to the plate and have an ongoing discussion about sex. And not when the kid comes to you and says "Um mom- can you take a look at this EPT for me"? I have had open communication with my kids ever since they were young. No, they don't like talking about this subject. But we have to talk about it. And I have made my values on the subject very clear. We'd rather them wait until they're married. But- I also understand that in the heat of the moment, it can be very, very, very hard to say "no".
It's hard to find a "decent" dress these days. It took dd and I 2 hours to find a semi-formal dress for her to wear to her 8th grade "social" next Saturday. As it was, we got a strapless dress (very pretty) that she's going to be wearing a sweater with the entire time. Because I say so, and the school says that if the young ladies that have a strapless dress on, they have to wear some kind of a shawl or they can't attend. Period. And I was assuming (I guess wrong) that a high school would have the same kind of dress code for their proms. Nothing too revealing, etc.
why blame the media for kids having sex and getting pregnant? Yes it is displayed in the media but if more parents were being responsible for their childrens sexual education.. instead of just IGNORING it... it would happen a lot less. And yes I was a teen parent, and No I dont think the media had anything to do with it.
Oh, and the dresses... a lot of them were VERY ugly and VERY slutty, and just another example of parents who need to get more involved in their teens life... any teen who could get away with wearing a dress like that, has parental issues.
But I didnt think all the dresses were that bad. *shrugs*
