What do you think,
a 10 year study, to show the abstinence education has no effect, Should it be updated? why or why not?
should schools have a more comprehensive sex education (talks about comdoms & birth control, reproduction, STD's, safe sex....ect.)
Safe sex info below... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/safe_sex#no...
Because the religious abstinence isn't working all to well.
What is some of your ideas to help teens with sex?

I think that kids need clear cut information on all aspects of sex. There are some very good secular reasons for abstinence, too. Every part of the picture needs to be presented. The hardest part is making teenagers understand that they aren't "invincible." By that I mean that they need to understand that it can happen to them. I think they need to know that when we say that no birth control is 100% they need to know that means they could still get pregnant or get an std. I think girls especially should understand that in order to be ready for sex, they need to have the self-esteem to state clearly no or yes and mean it. Boys need to understand that having a lot of sex partners doesn't make you a man, it just increases your risk of some bad stuff. And I just heard on the radio that gonorrhea is becoming resistant to antibiotics. Kids need to know this and what it means.

I read those studies before...and no, it doesn't delay when kids start having sex...for both kids who went thrgouh the program and kids who didn't, the average age for a teen to have sex for the first time in America is 14.9! That's ridiculous. I don't think the programs are hurting too much, but they definitely aren't helping, so they aren't worth our tax dollars. REAL sex ed, with info about abstinence AND condoms and birth control pills and IUDs and REAL statistics, not just "If you have sex you may or may not get pregnant or get a disease, so don't have sex ever"...because that's OBVIOUSLY not working. If a teen really wants to have sex, he or she will, but if teens were practicing SAFER sex, and knew that notjhing was 100% because pills are only 99% and condoms only 89%, there wouldn't be nearly as many parents still in high school (or middle school!). I think many teens have this attitude of "I'm using birth control so nothing bad can happen to me", which obviously leads to problems.

We do not need religious abstinence. We need abstinence in general. When teens and some younger see the religious aspect, they rebel. When did teaching each individual to respect themselves die off. The problem is not fornication. The problem is jumping to decisions and in beds. Schools in Chicago have comprehensive sex ed but that still doesn't work alone. It is really the parents job; but "It takes a village...." The msnbc article is too harsh without considering the mind set of our society. "Live and let live" is killing us.

No, it's not working and it IS putting kids at risk. However, abstinence education with medically accurate, NOT religious propoganda, information can work. Check out Planned Parenthood as well.

What does religion have to do with having sex education?
Seems to me that sex education is the job of the parents and/or the schools.

no longer in straightforward words is it no longer conserving young ones from having sex, it truly is making them unprepared to be threat-free. yet another learn got here upon that those who we via abstinence in straightforward words sex ed were as possibly to have sex as those who had no sex ed, and they were a lot less possibly to apply protection. it truly is because lots of the classes tout (incorrectly) how little protection condoms truly provide. to boot endangering teen’s health, abstinence-in straightforward words-till-marriage classes strengthen intense civil liberties concerns. those classes create a antagonistic environment for gay and lesbian adolescents, toughen gender stereotypes, and in some circumstances use taxpayer funds to promote faith.

I think it may help delay when they start having sex, but not necessarily get them to wait until marriage. I still think it should be taught because there are many reasons teenagers should not be having sex.
