In history, when ever anyone has tried to get a large group of people not to do something, it backfired. (Banning alcohol for instance. People just found other ways around it. Also, underage people still drink.) Teaching you how do do something safely, isn't telling you to do it. (Telling people not to drink and drive isnt telling you to drink, just like telling you to use a condom when having sex, doesnt mean they are saying to have sex in the first place.)

When people don't learn how to have safe sex in schools, and they decide they want to have sex anyway, they end up getting pregnant or infected.

xDD nice

If schools aren't going to teach students how sex works, what the risks are and how to stay safe, then you'll have to deal with idiots like the one my mother told my sisters and I about several years ago. She met this girl when they were both in college, in their early 20's, and the girl had come from a religious private school. Thanks to their "education", she was left believing that women got pregnant from open-mouth kissing, that sexually transmitted diseases only infected homosexuals and people who had sex with animals or prostitutes, and that the fact that male and female parts were so compatible with one another was just a happy coincidence with no practical purpose.

The religious folk can scream abstinence and treat all sexual details as taboo, but I'd rather that someone, somewhere actually teach kids how and why sex works, the risks involved and the things you can do to help protect yourself if you decide you want to go through with it. It may as well be the schools...god knows some parents are incapable of getting the message across.
