Depo is not an implant, it's an injection. I was on Depo for years, no side effects. I am aware it's not evidence though. See below for what I am on.

And none of these ([/i]except condoms[i]) address STDs in any way.

Nope. But having no birth control doesn't address them either.
I am not suggesting anything as an
alternative for education and social work to prevent/ control underage sex. I'm just saying at present it happens. And while it happens without condoms, let's try and make sure it happens without babies too. Of course as I said, it would take a totalitarian regime to implement it. I'm just talking in an ideal world.
