Some kids belong to conforming peer groups and other kids belong to rebellious peer groups. They know the facts of life, the mechanisms of conception and the means to prevent it. They get the information one way or the other and compare notes. That s the way it always has been. That s the way it always will be.
Some kids are realistic about the facts of life and are cautious and responsible.
Others know the facts of life and couldn t care less because being a dare-devil is cool and breaking rules is cool and impressing your peers is cool. Some kids will do anything to be popular. Others couldn t care less. To the liberals, the Religious Right is the enemy. Not only that, but the conservatives preach or teach that abstinence is morally right and practically best.
