Of course they should. I feel like stopping there, but I should explain. The potential alternatives are either having a baby, or being pressured into abortion - these are not positive results. I would hope my daughter would tell me what was going on at age 13, but I know I never did, or would have done in a million years - I took myself off to the Family Planning Clinic instead - not ideal, of course, but what are the alternatives to those 100 of families who may or may not feel able to discuss sex with their parents?
They, at only 12 or 13, own their body and they're out there whether we like it or not, and always have been according to my mum - let's make the situation easier for them, it won't "advertise" sex with Anon, et al, it will educate and we all know the knowledge enables, not disables. These so called children are a lot more capable than we think.
