I am very opposed to abstinence only programs. I went to a public school and we were taught that abstinence is the best way, but if you're going to have sex, use condoms or other birth control, get checked and be careful. they did use the scare tactics of the std pics ("barnicle dick anyone"? *shudder*) and video taped births. alot of my friends who went to catholic schools often seemed very out of touch when they were having sex at 14 and 15 becuase they were only taught that sex is bad, and had no real idea of what to do. i figure, chances are, teens are gonna have sex, no matter what the schools tell them. they might as well teach them how to be safe and take care of themselves, than let them find out the hard way.
