Replace "drink and drive" with "engage in sexual activity" and "seatbelt" with "condom" and you have "comprehensive" sex education.

Um... Let's be honest here. I'm not a parent yet but I hope to be one soon and while I truly hope my future teenage child never drinks and drives, if he does, I'd at least pray that he's wearing a seatbelt. And if he's going to engage in sexual activity (I've heard teenagers have been known to do this), I would most certainly rather him wear a rubber than not wear a rubber.

You’re missing the point.

Would you tell your teenager to not drink and drive or would you tell them to be sure to wear a seatbelt when they do drink and drive?

Why would you tell your teenager to be as safe as possible and not tell them to not engage in the unsafe activity in the first place?

Don’t get me wrong. I fully understand that many teenagers will engage in unsafe activities; however, when you start with the premise that they are going to do it anyway, then you’ve already lost.
