GR: A friend of mines' sister had surgery for cervical cancer at the age of 20! This was brought on by a very active sexual lifestyle(I'm not makin this up). I don't know all about STD's or Warts. I wouldn't want young girls to get them, but I draw the line at the people routinely making these kinds of decisions for our kids. I believe that these plans Do give implicit consent for young people to feel free to experience/experiment with things they're not ready for physically or emotionally. But I will read up on this and add to this thread if I find anything interesting! P.S. I checked on WebMD and genital warts are considered an STD,passed on by sexual activity. So when you have the warts, if they're not treated, then they can become potentially cancerous. It did not mention what percentage of girls/women would be at risk(for the warts to become cancerous) So...the whole 11 year old girls having sex thing? Why would we even be having this issue if Parents(not the school system) dealt with 1)the 'birds/bees' and 2)Authorities and school system taught this as a prerequisite for graduation from(I'll give you a break)8th grade. No one is concealing any info, and by the way, all the stuff you need to know is in BOOKS. I went to private school, so I read books. In the 60's, nobody was forthcoming about sex....there's nothing 'prurient' about biology! Routine exams for young girls would be common sense, not giving them a shot or a pill so that "they can all they can be"!
