Response

I think that the information that I found was very interesting. It was helpful to learn that the government is making young girls get contraceptive injections to prevent pregnancy. I think that if they do that, then young girls will get in the habit of having unprotected sex and think it is okay, and when they are a little older, they will end up pregnant anyway. So I don't necessarily think that the Government is helping.

Research

~Girls as young as 13 must be given contraceptive injections promoted by the government to avoid pregnancies


~It can make girls infirtile for up to three months



~ this controversial move will promote promiscuity and injections and implants would not protect against the spread of STDs


~drugs aren't exactly safe for girls who are still growing


~People are afraid that if they give young girls contraceptives, it will give girls the impression that is okay to have sex
