menstrualhutMan... some really misinformed youths out there. click on them to read some common teenage myths about contraception. Ask your Doctor, people!!!
It found 85% of GPs thought young people were not using effective contraception because they were too embarrassed to ask for advice. But 70% believed ignorance was the problem, and 70% believed teenagers were worried their confidentiality would not be respected.
(And yes, overlap occurs. it's not bad math.)

Intelligence doesn't rise and fall with age. Now, if you want to view teens as unintelligent, that's obviously your choice, but I would consider it to be a, well, unintelligent thought process.

Date: 2001-07-21 03:16 pm (UTC)I *would* say that many teens lack wisdom. However, this has little/nothing to do with intelligence (as measured by IQ), and is not true of all teenagers.
I just don't think it's fair to say that all people aged 13-19 are stupid.
