Found via broadsheet: In Canton, Ohio, a school board decided to expand sex education to allow for discussion on contraception after realizing that 13 percent of one high school's female students were pregnant. Yeah, ya think? That's 65 of the 490 female students becoming pregnant within a year.

Upon misia's recommendation, I just got a copy of Esther Drill's Deal With It! A Whole New Approach to Your Body, Brain, and Life as a gURL for Miss Fiona. And you can bet I'll be sure to have her read it, and I'll answer any questions she might have.

I went to check it out. And I read the comments, most of them good. I wish there had been something like this around when I was that age!

And I am constantly amazed at the parents who think that 'if we don't tell them about it, they won't do it.'

Right. Statistics in this post totally bear that out, don't they?
