Pledges of Abstinence Ineffective

There's nothing wrong with teaching abstinence as part of a larger sex
education curriculum. The problem is that there are people who think that
the ONLY thing kids should be taught is abstinence. I've seen surveys
mentioned which indicate that some outrageous number of kids - might've
been around 45% - get NO INFORMATION about sex from their parents. If they
also get NO INFORMATION at school.....
You can finish that last sentence.
This has become all very complicated. After getting a lecture on respecting
girls and women, I entered my teen dating years with a very clear idea of
birth control. Basically it was a mental image of two grown men coming
after me with baseball bats. One would be the girl's father. The other
would be mine.
