Who To Blame?

I think all of you are already aware of the 14 year old British lad who looks like 8 years old who became a dad at very early age.I don't really know who to blame. Is it his parents, school, teacher, government? Don't really know. But living here in UK as what I noticed they have sex education at very early age. Even my 10 years old daughter already have one. In Philippines during our time from elementary to high school we did not had sex education instead we had values education. I don't know if it's the reason. But pregnancy cases in Philippines who are below 16 is low compared in here.

Here is a scenerio that I witnessed not once but thrice. A 13 years old girl was admitted by her teacher for abortion, parents are not aware. As what I gather teachers are allowed to do this. Children have their rights to have their secret private from parents. Absolutely disgusting!!! They can even ask a morning pills from a school nurse not knowing by parents. But you know what if your child needs Paracetamol at school they will call you and let you know that your child had Paracetamol but they will not tell you if your daughter had contraceptive pills. And that makes my blood boil!!!

Mahirap sabihin kung mas maganda ba o hindi na i-introduce sa mga bata yng sex ed. Iba kasi yung culture dito sa Pinas.

This World has gone morally bankrupt!

Schools and religious organizations have a limited role. I think government's role is more of a protective role and not rearing.

Teaching morals in schools along with sex education could be done but then the question arises, whose morals do you teach? Perhaps secular morals so as not to insult different religious faiths might work? Whose view is taught regarding abortion, homosexuality, pre-marital sex, contraception, etc? I think parents have the ultimate responsibility to raise their children with their moral beliefs.
