When my sister was in 15, she was 1 of 5 other pregnant girls in their health class that taught abstinence only. The instructor even made a little joke and then keeled over dead from irony.
Kids are going to experiment with sex. Kids are going to experiment with drugs. Kids are going to experiment with alcohol. It seems to me just an inevitable phase of life that everyone has to go through. The best we can do is try to educate the masses well enough to excercise a little common sense when they do.
Wrapping it up in a box and labeling it "secret" isn't going to work. It didn't work for me and my father's Playboys, or me and my father's liquor cabinet. God bless my father.
