Should abstinence 101 be taught in public education

[buckeye45_73]

There ia nothong wrong letting kids no, waiting is a better course of action, since it really is the best way.

Where is the proof sex ed helps?

Do leas kids have sex since the 60s?
Less pregnancies?
Less STDs?

I don't really think kids have any business having sex, but they are going to! That is just a fact of life. I don't see why this has to be a fight. We can teach both. Hopefully most kids are smart enough to already know that the best way to not get pregnant is to avoid sex!

The problem with abstinence is that people like to fuck....it feels good and is a lot of fun.
It also solidifies your relationship with your partner
Billions of people are doing it

To pretend that just telling someone to ignore their sexual urges is effective birth control is ineffective
It has never worked on a large scale

100% of unwanted pregnancies are due to a failure of abstinence

So let 12 year olds do what comes natural without any adult guidance? Disagreed.

What age do you think the age of consent should be?

The age of consent applies to an adult having sex with a child

Two 12 year olds can have sex without breaking the law...and they do, even without adult guidance
Does a 12 year old know they shouldn't be doing it? Yes they do...but they do it anyway

So a 12 year old should know...if you are going to break the rules, here is what you should know about safe sex
Those who follow the rules will just gain some information that will come in handy later

Isn't that what is being discussed? Teaching them the consequences of their actions?

Gang-bangers are setting record murder rates in Chicago. Does this mean we shouldn't educate kids about ruining their lives with a life of drugs and crime?
