Family Planning

After reading Chapter 11, I learned the importance of controlling pregnancy. I already knew most of these facts but it was definitely a reminder to the fact that these things do not stop after marriage either. It is so important to decided when to have kids because you must be ready to be a parent and all that comes along with it. You must be financially stable and you must be mature enough to raise a child. Sometimes this subject can get really controversial and I am excited to learn more about it in class tomorrow. My parents have always been very open about talking about sex and how to be safe about it. Other families are not so open. I think this is interesting and it does not mean that is right to be open or not to be open. I think as long as you teach your children to wait for the right person they will be smart about it. Sex is such a huge topic in the media today and I think many kids get skewed images of what sex actually means. That is why children need to learn the reality of it at home before they get corrupted by the media. Overall sex is an extremely important topic within the family.
