I would argue that many parents
do "inform" their children -- and those same children believe (as SG did) that it won't happen to them. Teen pregnancy rates are down from the levels they achieved in the 1950s, and now we are no longer focusing on the low-hanging fruit (if you will) of kids who
listen and understand the first time. Tell 'em, keep telling 'em, and test them occasionally. Then, maybe,
just maybe, they'll get it.
