This is a strong example of why sex ed (and good, accurate, open sex ed) is so important. I get so tired of hearing that a sex ed class is condoning sex...some of these kids will have sex no matter what. Staying in denial about that ends up in teenage pregnancies and the spread of STDs. I'm willing to bet a lot of these teens would be more careful if they were armed with the right knowledge. Not all of them, but a lot of them.
It boggles my mind how many people I know in college who still think it's impossible to get pregnant during X time of the month (it seems they all have different ideas of which week in relation to their period is correct), that condoms always prevent pregnancy, that one or the other sex can't get a certain STD, that herpes/chlamydia/gonorrhea/HIV can't be transmitted if there are no symptoms, or that the morning after pill is an acceptable form of routine birth control.
