Yeah, you can't really stop kids from having sex if that's what they want to do. We can encourage them in the abstinence direction and explain why it's the better option and try to make a positive influence... But at the end of the day, the choice to hold off on sex has to come from within. I try not to forget what it's like to be a teenager.

I think a different message probably needs to be constructed for 10-14 year olds than the "Hey, if you have sex, make sure to use a condom" that is reasonable enough for 15-17 year olds.
Ugh. I cannot even fathom 10 year olds having sex. That is so disturbing.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
