I think it's a great idea.
Kids who have a great, open relationship with their parents aren't the kids who are the focus of this type of program. If your child doesn't need it, then that's cool for you and your kid.
But this is for those kids whose parents won't talk to them about sex. Those kids who are getting misinformation from their friends. Those kids who think you can't get pregnant if you have sex standing up the first time. THESE are the kids who need this type of information readily and anonymously available.
When I was in high school, I was a Teen Advocate - I went to schools and talked to kids about sex. We'd also let the kids write down anonymous questions and then we'd answer them...some of the questions...phew! But because it was anonymous, and I was a teenager like them, kids weren't afraid to ask.
Anything that can help get information out there, I'm all for it.
