As I got older I figured that was the point. My point was that this girl was more willing to believe the very brief note in the paper than the very detailed explanations she was getting from the teacher. I suppose it's part of a "you can't trust the teacher" attitude.
Abby would have been better off to point out that one thing often leads to another. If a girl doesn't want to be in the position where a naked guy is trying to convince a naked her to open her legs because she's come too far to say no now she should stop far short. The warning should not have been about sperm accidentally finding its way into her vagina without penetration. It should have been about dancing on the edge of a pit you don't want to fall into.
Shalom.

You said it far better than I did. I think Abby was trying to make that point as well. And this girl was blind not to get her point. Sounds like she was being willingfully ignorant. Some people are not educated because they do not want to be and all the programs in the world will not change that. Sad.

That's why G-d gave parents the responsibility for educating their children. If parents won't, someone (the state) will, and it won't necessarily be in the child's best interest.
Shalom.

Sad that no one even wonders why the nanny government should be teaching any of this. Parents should teach their own children.
If you depend on the government to teach your child about sex, you can be sure that they will do a terrible job and it will cost way more than it should.
