It will have to become cool to use a condom so maybe some of the teen idols should help as they have the influence. If a footy player singer or actor can get them to buy certain cloths why not a simple life saver.

its saddening that that may well be the case
it angers me that this is such a simple issue which could be resolved relatively easily....simply by including an extra hour for life-saving in the national curriculum

No wonder under sixteen year old pregnancy is so high in this country.

I'm so angry I feel like asking Vitty if I can write the next 'It really makes my blood boil' column.

What is so stupid was that nearly twenty years ago there was a massive public health drive about this.

What the powers that be have failed to realise is that it is a message that has a potential new audience every year, and needs to get through to every new generation.

Although HIV can be somewhat controlled by combination drug therapies, it is still an incurable and ultimately fatal condition.

Ironic really that now aids can be "battered" a bit into easing off that the next STD that could cause major problems is ignored until its too late or until a panic sets in.

lol

back on topic though; i think the govt. unnecessarily skirt around the issues of AIDS and HIV; have you ever heard Tony Blair mention raising NHS funds to help the research into these malicious diseases? i certainly havent...

The sad, and crazy thing is that under pressure, the last Pope issued a statment, because of many deaths in Catholic countries, saying that condoms could be used but they had to have a hole in the end [not the hole your winky goes in, the other end,] because life is precious.

Life is precious, if you are dieing of it as well.

SPUGGIE J · 08-11-2005, 01:25

There is a lot of sense in that.

They have warnings about puppies as presents about them being for a life time not just christmas. Why can this not be pushed for the teenage pregnancy issue. For some its a life of ease as the stae pays for everything maybe that should stop as well. All this hassle can be avoided with a pack of 3 or 2 if from a pub vending machine.
