Teaching Abstinance to teenagers is a nice thought, but in the practical world, it will never be the solution to teen age pregnancy. If you tell them not to, they're just going to want to more. Accept it and teach them how to do it safely and use birth control correctly. Why are we so hung-up that teaching birth control is bad? They may do it more, but a least they'll do it safe.

Ugh, I remember being taught abstinence in school and later on that night, I would be, well, you know. And that was awhile ago and today it's even worse. Kids at such young ages are doing it, I watched the Tyra Banks Show and some kid said he received oral sex at the age of 8. I wanted to throw up. It's quite obvious there would be less teenage pregnancies if birth control was taught as another option. I also think less teenagers would be having sex. People are becoming much more comfortable with sex and it has come to be so casual when it really shouldn't be. Soon people are going to forget what love is.

Blame religion and the gov't. The feds have a guideline for abstinence education that supports the religious attitude of NO SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE. Failure to comply is grounds to lose federal money.
Abstinence education doesn't teach any kind of responsibility.
As long as its consensual, and responsibly handled, sex is a good thing. I

I totally agree with you. but I think people feel if you teach using birth control its going to be like giving the ok for teens to have sex but I feel they are going to have sex anyway and kids have always been having sex so why not teach them to be safe

Teens need to know about clinics that don't require parental permission, Yes, they need protection. It is the real world.

Monty Python summed it up best in the song "Every Sperm is Sacred"
