Bullshit

Description

Premium, fresh-from-the-bull's-ass bullshit.

And I could have told you this when I was thirteen. All it takes is an ounce of logic to understand that it doesn't work and even fails people who actually do remain abstinent until marriage. Just 'cause you're married, doesn't mean you want to have kids...

I went to a private Christian school for Pre-K through 12 (and it was about as fun as it sounds :doh: ). The only reason I got any kind of sex ed at all was by taking it via correspondence through Texas Tech University in high school because my school's health class didn't fit in my schedule due to extracurriculars. From what I was told by friends, when the class got to the sex ed chapter in the health textbook the teacher (who was just one of the football coaches) said, "You guys already know about this stuff," and completely skipped the chapter altogether. And then the school administration wondered why upperclassmen ended up pregnant. 

Just the stats of teen pregnancy rates in states that require abstinence-only sex ed vs. states with comprehensive sex ed should be enough evidence against it, but abstinence-only sex ed should be outlawed, period, purely because of the danger it poses to teenagers who are young and stupid, especially the type that's taught in states that don't legally require the information to even be accurate. The horror stories I've heard from other people are mind blowing in the worst way (like telling kids that condoms only have a 15% effectiveness rate and that rubber/latex is porous enough to let HIV through!). 

Encourage kids to wait until they're older and more emotionally mature to have sex, yes. That makes sense. But that needs to be taught right alongside comprehensive sex ed for anatomy, STD/STIs, pregnancy, childbirth, all different major forms of protection, and especially CONSENT. If kids want to fuck they're going to fuck, so making sex something forbidden is only going to make some kids want to do it more. Being frank about all of the things that can happen from being sexually active is a far better deterrent. Show teens graphic images of what untreated STD/STIs can do. Show graphic footage of childbirth. Just do what you need to do to educate as well as communicate how very real the effects and consequences of their actions can be, especially since that's the last part of the brain to develop.
