The same conclusion should be drawn from engaging in "safe sex" as well, especially with undisciplined teens. The thought that teens can properly asses the risks involved with unsafe sex, even when "educated", is asking a lot. And to be clear, I don't support abstinence with no sex education, I support promoting abstinence for children and providing them with sex education.
Also, I am curious - is there a school system in this country that has a "sex education" curriculum that you support and works (meaning there are measurable statistics showing the STD, pregnancy, and psychological, results you would be comfortable with)?
