Where in the world do you live?? The public high schools have extensive sex eductaion, starting in middle schools. STD's, bananas, condoms, homosexuality.. it's all there.
Teenagers just don't give a sh@t, and don't pay attention. 60% of college coeds end up with one HPV or another, and they think it's a rite of passage.
So don't throw out this crap about "abstinence" being the problem. Lots and lots and lots of teenagers use condoms (when they think of it)and HPV infection is rampant. Go figure.
The probel is that the ":tipping-point" was reached after social pressures were eased. Fifty years ago, a teen age girl who got pregnant was made ashamed. Some injustice in that, but it made them more careful. The easy availability of antibiotics has also made people careless. Back during wotld war II, because antibiotics became available, there were more soldiers disabled with STDs than with any other form of ailment. With the "Superbugs", we seem to be moving back to that situation.
"The public high schools have extensive sex eductaion, starting in middle schools. STD's, bananas, condoms, homosexuality.. it's all there."
where do you live? Only a small % of schools even bother to teach sex ed. Don't let Rush and Sean's scare-stories fool you. They don't represent the norm.
"60% of college coeds end up with one HPV or another, and they think it's a rite of passage."
Ludicrous. "Rite of passage"? Yeah, right.
