"Abstinence-only" teaching... archaic and useless?

My school doesn't think so, and I hope these kids go through with it. Just because I hate my school and want them to lose a battle they'll eventually lose. ;)

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Our schools just put in condom buckets (or something like that) in the nurse's office.

Our school uses "scare tactics" I guess. They over-describe the horrible consequences that STDs can have and insert their abstinence promotion blather here. I actually heard a kid who told his bio teacher he would NOT have sex until after high school. I said good luck in any relationship. :P

My school gives out condoms, has hotlines, the works. Guess what? People still get pregnant.

Condoms arn't foolproof, neither is birth control. Shit happens.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

The thing about condoms is, you have to use them. I knew far too many people growing up who didn't like to use condoms. All I can say about that is, wtf?

You don't HAVE to use them...cause you don't HAVE to have sex.  Also, even if you are, she could get one of those IEDs? and you could PIITP

They can take away from the feeling.

Yes, I know. But that's a small price to pay to prevent STDs, babies, etc.

I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.
