I went through a sex ed class where it was Abstinence only.
The funny thing is, that although the class was called "Sex education" there was no educating about sex going on.
I learned more from the General Discussion forum on Gaia about sex, than I did in that classroom. That's sad. neutral
I vehemently oppose the idea of teaching kids "Abstinence only" because that is not educating them. It is not effective. The ideal behind it is good, but unrealistic.
Teenagers figure out, I suppose, that sex feels good. It is better to give them a more well rounded education. Sexual themes are everywhere.
Teach kids more than just the ideal of saving thier virginity until they are in a financially stable situation/relationship/married. Teach kids also, that if they are going to go down that other route, and expose themselves to the risks, and dangers of having sex while young, than they should take responsibility to be safer about it, making use of birth control techniques, such as condoms, and the birth control pill. It wouldn't hurt to teach them the basics on how to use birth control correctly. What good is them using a condom if they don't use it correctly?
Just as well stress that later on down the road, they should have thier partners tested before getting into sexual relationships with them. They should know before having sex if thier partner has STDs or something similar.
It is better to give them a well rounded education, than leave them in the dark, so that thier peers can fill them in with much false information.

HA! I did a whole thing in my head about this. Except I was bashing Texas while I said it. Living alone has made me a sad individual. *sniffle* I'm so lonely...
No but... I don't think sex ed classes should be abstinence only. I had a really good sex ed class in my freshman year of highschool. And we didn't have to do the banana condom. Nyar. pirate
The thing is, I lived in a lower class middle economy area and people around there just didn't give a flying fig if their kid did it or not. One of my best friends lost her virginity to a drug dealer at the tender age of twelve. I dunno, I didn't think we needed a sex ed class in sixth grade, and then I learned she was screwing him and.. it was probably a good thing she learned what happened from where and why it happened. She's a slut. I still love her though. Abstinence doesn't work. It doesn't happen (unless you're an ugly F U C K like me.). And I've also learned that it makes people feel bad about themselves when they do get into that kind of situation.
My cousin, she said she almost killed herself because she went to third base with a guy. Not a home run, but damned near. And the only reason she didn't go all the way was because she was living with her parents and... Yeah. Well, she was home schooled and they're really religious, so I can only imagine what she learned about sex. I love my cousin, she's cute, funny, nice. Not the smartest kitten in the bundle but that's alright. Anyways, the moral of my story is, now she's in college and... Well, we all know about college right? Yeah... I can only guess bad things are happening. Well, bad if her dad finds out. But also... I wonder if she knows whats going on. She said that condoms were only 48% effective. I told her they were 99% effective if used correctly and all the time. She didn't believe me. So I only have to assume that... if she is doing it... only 48% of the time she's using a condom. That frustrates me.
