Is the coach justified in suing the player? if not where do we draw the line with lawsuits?

No the coach is not justified in any way to sue this kid. And where we draw the line? I honestly dont know maybe if the coach had a legit reason like the kid purosally threwed his bat a the coachs legs... something like that. Then I think that the kid should get sued.

Does this study surprise you why or why not?

Have you seen the same effects within Barbour County as the study claims is happening throughout the nation

Yes it did surprise me cause who would have thought that teens would actually take this show to heart and decide to be safer while having sex or just to start abstinence.

Actually yes I have. I remember my freshman year there were at least 10 to 15 girls that were pregant but now its been droping each year.
