Can't speak for the US, but here in Calgary, we learned about contraception in junior high, and most of us were aware that it existed by the time we were in div 2 of elementary school.

Why are their heads backwards?

I was wondering about that too.

I once knew a 7th grade girl who had two kids!

Was she in grade 7 due to being left back, or had she somehow managed to have two kids by the age of 12?

Maybe she's a prodigy.

But, yeah, I'm sure most states don't teach kids how to use contraception until high school.

If that.  Some states don't teach contraception at all.

That's actually the only thing I didn't like about that comic.

Love the “$peech” bags.

As for the heads, it appears the artist doesn’t know how to draw heads being turned and was unwilling to recompose the image to compensate.

They are owl-people
I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

Ahh... I thought Sam's head was just turned very far and his beard was making the effect more noticeable.

I didn't even notice that Liberty's body was backwards. 

Now that's the ONLY thing I see.

I still like the comic, though I think it could have been done better.

I think she was 13. I didn't know her personally, so I don't know much about it. I only know about it because someone else told me. I've heard conflicting reports including one saying "her kids" were really her very little sisters and someone mistook them as her "daughters" because they lived with just their dad. While it was likely just a rumor, it honestly wouldn't surprise me if their was a real case like it somewhere nearby. In the one class I shared with her she seemed to hang out with the girl who was caught fingering herself. I recall a girl being pregnant in her freshman year of high school(9th grade), which is only two years later and she was noticeably pregnant by the start of the school year.

Well now that sounds like a totally reliable story, based on the kind of solid evidence we expect of those who make such bold assertions.




That was sarcasm.

She might have had twins.

Though I don't know if any 12/13-year old would be physically capable of carrying twins.

I said it was probably a rumor. In retrospect I should have put it in my first mention of it. Sorry for the mistake.

Actually... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lina_Medina

Lina Medina is the youngest known mother. She gave birth at the age of five years, seven months and 17 days.

And this whole list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_youngest_birth_mothers

All on the list are under twelve. It doesn't say how many and I'm not going to count because it's long, disturbingly long to be honest. Some of the most recent ones are actually from the US, so it's not isolated to third world countries or anything.

Mockery of ideas you don't comprehend or understand is the surest mark of unintelligence.

What

I think this is a reference to the 2008 scandal wherein massive numbers of deceased people were put onto voting lists in Florida and California (and some other states), and were somehow voting from beyond the grave.
