SO, 10 year old girls needing contraceptive implants because they are having sex but as yet uneducated about contraception.

My son is in year 6 so I know about 30-40 girls this age. NONE and I do mean NONE of them are at the point of having sex yet, there are one or two who giggle about boys, and talk about which boy they are going to dance with at the school disco or going to take to the cinema (if he says yes).

Am I really very detached from the real world where all these young girls need contraceptive support?

Now don't get me wrong, I would prefer a 10 year old to have an implant than a baby but I really worry about a society where this is necessary

Maybe the implants are used in very young girls to stop/slow puberty for medical reasons. Eg gender dysphoria. It doesn't have to be a sexual reason, that's just tabloid headline grabbing.
