Re:Abstinence

This blog is in response to Jordan's Abstinence blog. I agree that teaching abstinence does not work. Although sex ed doesn't always work. My high school had a terrible sex ed course. It was one quarter long, the teacher wasn't very good or respected, and no one payed attention to what was being taught. Schools need to work harder to teach students about protection. The number of pregnancies in my high school was very high. I graduated with 24 kids and three of them were pregnant and one is again. I honestly believe that this wouldn't happen if our sex ed class had been better. This is a subject that really needs to be addressed very soon.
