At least no one said that they don't need condoms because the worst that'll happen is you'll get HIV which will turn into herpes and then you'll be okay.

But I hear you. There were lots of girls in college who didn't know how to properly use a condom even though they were active. I learned how and have never had to do so. Go figure. :shrug:
This whole thing is just....sad. 180 kids didn't just not show up for sex ed. 180 kids weren't intimidated at the store or didn't have access to free condoms. 90 girls weren't raised without a father figure and now are looking for love in the wrong places. There are a plethora of reasons why this happened listed in this thread and, as weird as it sounds, it frustrates me that no one reason is the culprit because there are too any factors to make this "easily fixable." With numbers like these, I wish it was--that's a lot of kids who don't really get to be kids anymore and probably a lot of grandparents who aren't prepared either.
