View topic - Does Abistence only progams really work??
Personally, I don't think so.
Studies show that kids who received the right amount of sex education were less likely to have sex, dispelling the myth that it was sex education that promoted promiscuity.
abistence only programs, on the other hand, did not teach kids anything about sex at all and instead ran along the lines of: "Sex is bad and sinful! do it only if you're married."
Which of course did not work for the kids today.
so what do you think? :P

abstinance only programs are like sending your kids out on halloween
only they know you're gonna take all their candy away and not let them have it until they've proven themselves responsible
SO INSTEAD THEY GORGE THEMSELVES WHILE MUMMY AND PAPPY AREN'T LOOKING
and end up with a bellyache because they did what all kids do: the exact opposite of an irrational seeming suggestion/order.
if kids were to get informed properly, about all sorts of things, i think that a few societal problems would die down quite a bit.

Kids are going to do what they are going to do and, the more you tell them no, the more they want to do it. The best we can do is educate our kids and hope they make the right decisions.
I know abstinence doesn't work.
My high school was an abstinence sex ed school.
My boyfriends was a proper sex education school.
At least 18 girls that attended my high school, got pregnant during high school. That was a lot considering my graduating class was pretty small.
At my boyfriends school, only about 4 girls got pregnant during the high school.
This alone is enough to convince me, aside from all the studies that have been done

Abstinence programs shouldn't be anti-education, they should be more like support groups for people trying to avoid tempting situations. Emphasis on SHOULD.
I think whether people are successful staying abstinent or not depends on if they get enough love from their friends and family, that plus their values.

Whether or not to have sex should be a person's choice. Being informed, on the other hand, should be his responsibility. Abstinence-only programs do the opposite of inform; they leave people in the dark--and worst of all, they leave developing teenagers in the dark about something that's going to be on their minds more than ever at a time when the consequences could potentially affect them the most.
i don't think so either.
kids are going to bang if they get the opportunity.
i think it's a nature thing over nurture, it's in our blood to do the do.

There's a place in Texas called Lubbock. That is my argument. People should learn about actual sex, not just how not to have it.
They should work, but they don't because parents aren't doing their jobs anymore. You know what my mom does? The scare method. Her sex talk: "HAVE SEX AND I KILL YOU". That worked on me. 
She said the scare method is the only thing you can do. That's why you should be scarring kids with consequences of sex from the age of 5th grade on up.

I don't think it works. I've been well educated about sex and the outcomes since I was.. eh, around 7. My mom doesn't mind if I go and have sex, as long as it's with someone I love and that I accept the outcomes. Having this freedom (and being lesbian, mind you) basically steers me away from having sex considering she put emphasis on "accept the outcomes."
If someone were to tell me to not have sex because it's sinful, I'd shove it in their face that I'm atheist and I really don't care if I'm "going to Hell" or not. That whole argument doesn't apply to everyone so I think it should be required that schools educate you about sex, and safe sex methods instead of telling you it's bad.

LOL FUCK YOU ALL
No. They don't teach kids the things they need to know. That's why kids think Mountain Dew makes your sperm slow, drinking a capful of bleach kills stds, and other really awful things. If you just educate someone about the risks and how to protect themselves, they can make a truly informed decision and not fuck up their life. Because face it, telling someone how to do something right doesn't decide for them whether they'll do it at all.

I used to go to a Catholic school and now go to Public so I've seen both sides.
Personally, I think the Catholic program was bullshit.
They told us not to have sex before marriage because it was sinful and that was that.
I asked the teacher why she didn't inform us of STDs (Before they were changed to STIs) and protection.
She replied with saying that it is against our religion because even condoms are seen as killing potential lives.
Which as a biology student let me assure you that is not the case. Cutting the sperm off from the egg is not killing a life, it's simply letting the menstrual cycle go about normally.
I told her that no matter what, teenagers will still most likely have sex before marriage and that protection should be important, if they're unaware of all the risks and preventatifs major problems can happen.
She shrugged it off.

it has been proven that they don't work. both teen pregnancy rates and especially STD rates skyrocket amongst populations with abstinence-only ed. the reason being that kids are curious, they talk amongst themselves, and if the grown-ups won't tell them anything they'll just experiment and figure it out themselves. you're never going to stop ALL kids from having sex, so you may as well arm them to the teeth with information, which is just going to scare the piss out of them anyway when they find out all the crap that can happen as a result of having sex. either they'll have protected sex, or decide it's not worth the risk and abstain.
