"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. ;)

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

[CrAz3D]

wtf?  Why does he HAVE to have sex to have a relationship?


Also, they should be scaring the hell out of kids re: stds & especially babies!!!
WAY too many kids are having kids.

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.

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?

[CrAz3D]

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.

Premature ejaculation?

No, withdrawal, which rarely works.
