I think it's a good idea to have birth control taught in sex education. My parents taught me about the birds and the bee's at the dinner table one night in the fourth grade. Then, years later, I'm enrolled in a manditory class that makes us carry about that darn pop bottle baby.
So, in a sense I was taught
1) how people have sex
2) what each part does
3) what the results are (kids or std's)
But I wasn't taught how to prevent the result (other than abstinence). So why is it so taboo to prevent deaths (stds) and unwanted pregnancy?
I think we should learn how to use birth control properly, the types of birth control and so forth. My parent's certainly didn't tell me all about that stuff...so somebody did (I just don't remember who).
