Lack of common sense, Kat? Please, do explain.

I think that the more information a teen has on the subject, the better. The more birth control readily available, the better. The more open they can be with their parents, the better.

It is less than half the picture by itself. As is safe sex training. I like choices; I am a big advocate of safe fun, and the option to abstain.
Some training courses do offer young people structured choices: 1) Abstain; 2) If you cannot abstain be safe; 3) If you cannot abstain and be safe, plan on being Catholic-- um, I mean pregnant and young.
It is such a shame that so many fundies ALSO are against masturbation, mutual masturbation and the many other forms of safer gratification.

Abstinence indeed! Hahahahaha!!!
They need to be educated about how NOT to get pregnant and how NOT to catch diseases. I remember taking sex ed, and having sex was NEVER advocated. Thank goodness for condoms! BTW, I've never known anyone who used a faulty condom.
Sex is good! Sex feels wonderful! Diseases, parasites, and unplanned pregnancies are rotten. I'm so glad I had some education. I'm so glad adults back then, even though they didn't want to talk about it, know that as with anything, we would tell our parents/adults what we thought they'd want to hear.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with abstinence. There is everything wrong with misleading youth and exposing them to needless harm. Pious fools.
Oh yeah, your question.
Answer: it's a big, expensive pile of crap.

I explained everything "EVERYTHING" to my son and gave him the condoms. I told him it was not a "permission slip" but rather a "just in case" protection.
You can't stop people from having sex. They are teens with massive amount of hormones and a sex drive that is always ready for fifth gear.
That was about a year ago. I was quite pleased when I asked him what the expiration date said on them to see if he needed new ones -- and all were there and accounted for.

none of it seems to be working at all, keep your eyes peeled on here for all of the questions from young girls wanting to know if they could be pregnant.
with all of the information out there for them, they still have no clue as to if they are preg. or not. and have to ask total strangers and not go to their parents.
you know back in the 50 and 60 all of this free information wasnt availble to kids and you know what, they didnt have nearly the rate of teen preg. as there is now with all of this information and free condoms, etc... GO FIGURE

I agree with you.
Abstinence is like every single other method of birth control: it only works when used consistently and correctly.

I wonder: Did, in the history of mankind, pushing _anything_ on teens ever work out as they hoped it would? Yeah, I guessed so.
Funny how such programs are always supported by the people who seem to know that God gave us Free Will, and these same people seem to understand absolutely nothing about the free will of teenagers.
This program would work very well on robots.

As usual, I believe everything should be taught.
Kids should be taught to not have sex, but if they do "wear protection".
Common Sense
God Bless

it is better to have them prepared. Go ahead and tell them "Sex can wait masturbate" but have them prepared for it. I wasn't. My wife wasn't. We started earlier then we should have but if you plan ahead you wont have any problems. So teach both sides, it just makes sense

The best way to get a teen to do something you don't want them to do is tell them you don't want them to do it.
I guess now they're going to start telling 19-26 year olds about abstinence, too. That's going to go well, too. *snicker*

Much better than the sex education methods of the 60's and 70's
They bragged then that teen births were down 30% Problem is that teen abortions were up 70%
Now births and abortions are heading down.
(THIS IS NOT A GAME KIDS)
