		<description>The whole issue of unwanted pregnancies would completely disappear if so called adults would grow up and be honest with themselves and their children, about the realities of life.

All parents have to do, once they find the courage to be honest with their children about sex, is teach their children, if they're going to have sex, to at least have responsible, consensual sex. 

They can add to that, it would be best to avoid it for as long as possible, but if you arm them well with responsible information, the problems associated with it, should they indulge, will be minimal.

Tell them they must use a condom for their health and safety and preferably some other form of prevention combined with the condom, to ensure they do not bring any children into this world, without the benefit of two loving parents, who are themselves ready for the responsibilities and considerations that go with parenting and living with someone else, and the finances to support such actions.

All parents know they or others, either wanted or tried and even succeeded in having sex, far earlier than the law allows, so why not admit these things to your children, so they don't get left feeling like some kind of evil weirdo's?

Children do not ask to be brought into this world, so if people are going to have sex, they need to be sure they can provide every opportunity for that child, otherwise they must use prevention, or go without.

To bring a child into this world who is disadvantaged in any way, is the most heinous crime any person can commit.

Life for that child will never be like it is for a child who lives in a happy, financially secure, unconditionally loving and accepting environment. It will always have to struggle, compromise and go without almost everything others just take for granted.

Anyone who wants that kind of life for a child, in my opinion, must hate children, and so in fact, is a child abuser.

This whole subject is that simple, yet in this so called enlightened day and age, there are still parents too immature and gutless to have such a conversation with their children. 

These ignorant, avoiding, in denial people, who hide behind all kinds of religious and cultural excuses to avoid their responsibilities, are the real cause of unwanted children, not the young people who have sex when they're way too inexperienced to fully understand the consequences.

If all children had honest parents, there wouldn't be so much hoo haa about post puberty kids banging away to their hearts content, because they'd be doing it in a responsible manner, and no one would get hurt.

The more it's made a taboo, the more it's not discussed openly in a happy, accepting, and natural way, the more people will want it, and sadly the less responsibly these things will occur.

This whole world is terrified of RESPONSIBILITY, which is why it cowardly employs, shame, blame, and excuses.</description>

		<description>Well put. The issue of sexting can be complex especially as the forms of electronic communication become more varied. We are seeing the impact socially, ethically, legally, psycologically, and technolocially.</description>
