abstinece-only sex education

I never quite buy the "coolness" argument - many teenagers have sex because it's a lot of fun. I didn't have sex because my friends used to tell me to sleep with a girl, I used to do it because I enjoyed it.I'm not saying that peer pressure does not play a part but I don't think it is as big an influence as it sometimes claimed.Even if you make more "leaders" - I still don't see how that stops them saying "hey this sex stuff is fun!" or even how that presents a reason they should not have sex.Edited by CK, : No reason given.Edited by CK, : No reason given.

I don't get the connection between smoking, drugs and stealing cars. Those are all to do with external man-made objects. Sex is do to with two people in an emotional or physical process.I still don't get what your programme is teaching in regards to sex? Let me pose some questions and see where we get.1) Would you teach about the use of condoms?2) Would you teach that sex before marriage is right/wrong/not a part of the program?I don't understand how teaching people about outside pressure is going to stop them having sex? Unless you are teaching them "wanting to have sex is wrong".Edited by CK, : No reason given.
