Telling kids not to do something doesn't work....they do it anyways.
Inevitably, people need to make their own mistakes in order to learn. With that in mind, it is more important to help kids minimize the consequences of their mistakes rather than telling them not to make mistakes.
I fact, many kids today call themselves virgins even with anal sex. They say they are saving their virginity. This is the kind of twisted logic you get when you use fear and illogical methods to try and control something.
Also, about the study brought up above, this was for 11 year olds. When I was eleven I was able to give more cons than pros for drug use too. I still did them though. Teaching an abstinence program based on fear to eleven year olds is one thing, let's see what happens when they reach the rebellious years of 15-16.
Hilarious how the program never stopped to check back in these many years later.
Honestly, you want kids to stop having sex? Stop injecting meat with hormones. The whole reason why the trend of kids having sex is on the rise is directly related to earlier and earlier pysical development derived from artificial hormone levels. It's the same reason everyone is getting taller. The food industry strikes again, wish there were some way we could regulate it. Oh wait, republicans are against that too.
