I work for the health department, we always promote abstinence first and foremost. But we realize that most people do become sexually active so we have seperate presentations that we do, that always reiterate abstinence, but also show them all aspects of contraceptives, from pills, to foam, film, condoms, the patch, depo, etc. And about STI's so they know what can result from sexual activity. It is meant in no way to scare the kids, but to inform them, so they can make an educated descision and a healthy one. We also have a teen clinic for ages 11-21 where they can come talk to one of us about sex and sexual activity as well as ask any questions that they wouldn't have in a classroom. We also provide free birthcontol pills and condoms if teens ask for them.l So from my view point of being a sex Ed teacher I feel like we cover all of the bases, for those who chose abstinence, and for those who chose to be sexually active.
