Umm...yea we live in a totaly different world. It used to be acceptable to get married and start a family at 14 or 15 and AIDS just came onto the scene. We have problems we never had before and that requires a totaly different approach. Burring your head in the sand and pretending kids don't have sex is idiotic.
Originally posted by Davo:Maybe that is the best policy, since abstinence is the only way to prevent STDs. Don't you think it's better to teach a policy that leads to prevention than give the impression that using condoms prevents STDs??
In theory yes. However, it won't work, so shouldn't we take a "something is better than nothing" approach?
