not a surprise.

Creating a "secrecy" around sex is not the way to help stop young individuals from engaging in it . . . if they want to promote abstinence, then so be it . . . but common sense would dictate that they also need to educate on safe sex and contraception . . . cause even if they wait a while, individuals are going to start having sex eventually . . . not arming them with such nessasary knowledge is indeed a travesty and quite stupid.
the only way that these issues are going to be adressed is not through the promotion of no sex . . . but through open discussions about sexuality and offering young individuals the real information they will need.

common sense . . . it's just plain common sense.

thanks,

Sweetpea
