well actually, teaching all methods of contraceptives is a good thing, your study was done on 222 teens with psychiatric disorders, this is a TINY sample, on a very narrow view of the world, only teens with psychiatric disorders, not teens as a whole. emotions play a deep role in sex, and should be taught more, however, saying a study on 222 psychiatric disordered teens shows that condoms should not be taught with abstinence in sexual education is just to big of a stretch. the 2 are not comparable, it's like saying a study on teen murderers showed that they get a thrill from watching violent media, so all teens like violent media.

And, the term psychiatric disorders is a nice blanket term to refer to all kinds of problems. I think that's also important to remember when looking at this study. |
you're right, you can't teach abstinence only and condom use.
i believe that abstinence needs to be included as a method of STD control, as well as condoms, and everything else under the sun. all i am saying is this study is to narrow to be applied elsewhere. |

I just think the study is a good start in providing proof. |
The study is very narrow so I wouldn't quite say that it's accurate but I would say that it goes to show how much abstinence education would help out in this situation (and by help out I mean make it worse).

This article only strengthens my belief that parents need to become more involved in the education and upbringing of their children. I am a firm believer that children will believe and trust their parents much more than an outsider or stranger, IF the parent has become involved in the child's upbringing, instead of letting the schools raise their kids.
Its like the old adage, "if you tell the kid no, then it will make them want to do it even more." If you EDUCATE your children and are open enough about sex to talk about it with them, you can make sure that they are well armed with the information BEFORE they are at risk of engaging on ANY type of dangerous activity, like sex. |
