I read that contraceptive pills are to be available to girls as young as 13 on the Isle of Wight. They will be available over the counter at some pharmacies, without the girl's parents or GP knowing about it. The aim, Primary Care Trust says, is to cut down teenage pregnancies.
But I haven't read of any evidence that this type of action actually works. Furthermore, what does it say to these kids? Let me suggest three things:
1. Society says it's alright to have under-age sex.
2. Society says it's OK to sleep around.
3. Society will collude with you to ignore your parents' wishes.
If this is the kind of society we now live in, then society stinks.
