Razor,
Eleven year olds having sex is bad, eleven year olds getting pregnant is worse. Getting pregnant is a symptom, but it is easier to fix than the cause. How would you propose that we prevent eleven year olds from having sex? Many parents don't want to take responsibility for their kids; too many of them beat up schools for giving their kid an 'F' because they don't want to acknowledge that Johnny isn't the Einstein they think him to be.
I think that there are going to have to be some major societal changes if we want to prevent the cause rather than the symptom.
