Controlling "Stirrings"

a simple solution?

What if it were that easy--you could take a pill and all of the frustrations and anxieties about sexuality would disappear? Do you think everyone age 11 - 18 should be required to take such a pill? What problems could it solve? I anticipate that many of you will not like this idea, but what is a good argument against banning hormones until individuals have matured and learned to control themselves better? Explain your opinion carefully.

i think that this is some what a good idea. i believe that this will eliminate that sex crimes comitted by this age group and help control unwanted pregnancies. during this time the kids should be learning how to use and control there bodies so they will be prepared for the future. this can also be dangeruos becuase if you don't let them know what it is when they do experience it then it will be harder to control. in all i believe it might work.

I think the idea of kids the ages of 11 to 18 taking pills to take away their "stirrings" will be a good idea and will prevent teen pregnancy, and unwanted pregnancy, STDs, etc. The pills will also keep kids focused on their education instead of having boyfriends and girlfriends and drama that might come with it. Although this will work for kids I think it wont prevent the feelings for adult sex offenders towards kids.

Well I believe that we should be able to feel the feelings we get. I get the idea of the problems it would solve but what about the problems it starts. A problem it starts I think sounds kind of like your losing your emotions one step at a time. There is only one type of person that should have to take this pill and thats sex offenders.

i think taking stirrings or pills is a good idea and should be required for people 18 and under. middle schoolers are being distracted and being involved in girl/boy problems. for example, if there is a hot hot girl in the class, rather than paying attention to the teacher, all the boys would stare at her. also, i think that sexual feelings for young people is bad because they are not ready to get married and have a family.also, they don't worry about their education/jobs/and things like that.Michael Ruiz 8C

I believe that everyone age 11-18 should take this pill and I also believe people who in jail for any sexual act that put they in jail in first place should also take the pill. I believe this pill will stop unwanted pregnant,parents not worrying about their child having sex. I also believe this pill will work for people in jail for any sexual action because when they get out of jail then they wouldn't have any sexual thoughts about the oppsite sexes.This pill will work beacuse maybe just maybe the rape and sexual abuse will descreas over time then other crimes.

I think that it could be a good idea to have kids 11-18 to take the pills because than many people would not have to deal with underage pregnancy. i still dont think that people should have to take these pills because i would still be able to like girls and have the freedom to like people

We should not take the pills to control "stirrings" because we should be able to know how it feels and what it is like. If you are the type of person that cares about your education and you want to finish school and is mature enough then you should not take the pills, but if you know that you are not mature enough you shouid.I think its who ever wants to and think it is a good idea then they should but if you don't want to then you should not be forced, your parents should just keep an eye on you but not to close because we are teenagers and we need space to grow and all.

I think that if a kid at the ages 11-18 shouldn't take the pill. The reason I said that they shouldn't because if they start to take pills at that age they can become addicted and they are going to think if you take that every time you feel a certain way its going to solve your problems. Sometimes it might help, but not always. Also if the pills run put the children are going to beg for more.
