P.A.P.A.

P.A.P.A., or the Parenting and Paternity Awarness program, is about to be required in all Texas school districts. The program will be implemented in all high school health classes starting this school year, and it will consist of curriculum that covers topics like responsible parenting, a basic understanding of paternity and child support laws and skills for healthy relationships. It stinks that this is what the education system has to do to teach teenagers about pregnancy, but hopefully it will show them that they are definitely not ready for such a major responsibility and it will start preventing teen pregnancy!

i think this is really project! to many times some hot-headed boy will pressure girl into a bad place...then tell all his friends easy she was and she ends up having to live down the rumors and lies...(sure, it probably goes the other way but most often the male makes the first approach...) I was a boy about-oh-a million years ago...:)) anyway, keep up the effort!
