In the first carefully designed study to evaluate the controversial approach to sex ed, researchers found that only about a third of sixth- and seventh-graders who went through sessions focused on abstinence started having sex in the next two years. In contrast, nearly half of students who got other classes, including those that included information about contraception, became sexually active.
Like the afghanis, it's not gay if you don't love himThe damning thing about the abstinence only group lies in two facts. The spirit may be initially willing but the flesh is almost always weak. And when that sad or happy day comes when they fall off the wagon, the damn fools don't know anything about birth control or safe sex. Making them sitting ducks for unwanted pregnancy or aids. And yes, many in that group think anal sex with a female is not really sex.

It's not Gay if it's in another Time Zone....oh wait, that's Cheating rules.
And the teen pregnancies between the two groups are what, i.e., was the percentage of teens that got pregnant more for one group than the other group?
The abstinence program had no negative effects on condom use, which has been a major criticism of the approach.

I don't see why giving away condoms and the pill is a bad thing.
I think what people need to understand is that the correlation between a teen mother (and this goes up a lot more if she's single) and the chance that her child will end up a criminal is VERY high. Read the book Tipping Point, or Outliers (its in one of those)
Whether you like it or not, condoms, the pill contribute to LOWERING the crime rate because we have less pregnancies.
I don't think if you hand out condoms or the pill that automatically causes teens to have more sex. In my high school (back in the day) you knew EXACTLY who was having sex and who was not and it had very little to do with the fact if they had sex education or not, or whether they had access to condoms or the pill.
Society just needs to get over itself in terms of 'abstinence or no abstinence' and just focus on FACTS and how we can mitigate things instead of flat out trying to eliminate things that are impossible to eliminate.
Over the next two years, 33.5 percent of the students who went through the abstinence program started having sex, compared to 52 percent who were just taught safe sex.
About 42 percent who went through the comprehensive program started having sex, and about 48.5 percent of those who just learned about other ways to be healthy. The abstinence program had no negative effects on condom use, which has been a major criticism of the approach.
Yup. It is a Religion Fail, primarily. People have to ask themselves Why is it a "Sin". It was primarily because there was no Birth Control or ways to avoid disease, so Sex before Marriage was a major Social problem. Back then a Teen could also be Married and not have to boil with hormones for near a decade of their Lives either. So trying to live by an Ancient standard(no Sex before Marriage) mixed with Modern Standards(Waiting until 18+ before Marriage) is a ridiculous endeavor. Some can/will manage it, but certainly not all or even most.
No way. Abstinence is what religious people preach and by definition that's wrong. Give kids condoms, tell them experimentation is ok, tell them that 1/4 of all boys and 1/6 of all girls (I remember this stat well) have a homosexual experience, open the gates, and let them have at it.
Do you have any argument against kids of any age having sex?
You just said that the schools should tell my daughter to start fucking. If anyone does that, they will have to talk to me personally. That would be most unpleasant for them, especially after my lawyer gets done with them too.
I'm hoping that's sarcasm on your part.
