In all honesty, I didn't respond to this thread to be patronised, I simply wanted to state my point of view.

I know exactly what you're trying to imply, and just because I don't fufill your idea of a chavvy teenage mum having unprotected, underage sex round the back of the bike sheds because school and society has, in some way, 'poisoned' me and made me unable to think for myself, it means I'm some kind of privately educated toff that is completely ignorant to what goes on in 'reality', simply because I'm from a rural area and I'm taking 13 GCSES. It's not uncommon for students that go to decent schools to take that many exams, which I would have thought you'd know seeing as you're so enlightened in this area.

I go to a state school, and I'm still encouraged to try my best by most of my teachers, as are my friends, and even though some of them I'm not exactly chummy with, I don't feel like I'm "bullied" and neither are my classmates. Me and my friends aren't in the minority because we're not on the brink of suicide and carring knives in our g-strings. To put it frankly, I don't understand why you think you'd know better than I do, when I am actually a student, about what goes on in terms of sex, violence and exam pressure in my own school. In some schools, it is pretty bad and there is teenage pregnancy and knife crime, and I acknowledge that I'm lucky that my school isn't like that, however, the majority of schools aren't. Even when these things do happen, this is usually because of the individual and their circumstances, it's not a symptom of modern day culture it doesn't affect every school.

I don't know whether you expect me to apologise because I try hard and I'm not out every night shagging myself into oblivion. I do go out and have a good time, and I also work hard, and it's not that uncommon. As for cervical cancer, girls that weren't sexually active before recieving the cervical cancer jab probably aren't now going to go out intent on having sex as much as possible. If girls weren't having sex before they got the jab, I seriously doubt it was the jab that was holding them back- most 12-13 year old girls were probably quite ignorant as to the dangers of cervical cancer before the jab was offered- I know alot of people in my year were, and we're in year 11. Cheers!
