re: Abstinence Education vs. Sex Education.

Quoting MX23:" lol maybe. i just figured since i was everyone else was to but maybe not even tho they say they are"

Quoting The Doctor:" Abstinence does not mean until marriage. IMO, of course."

Quoting MysticWitchKat:" That's the general goal of most programs however, lets be honest with ourselves."

Quoting MysticWitchKat:" No one sits in health class suddenly filled with knowledge over abstinence and decides they are suddenly ... [snip!] ... choice on their own with or without the class. And it's not lots and lots. At most only 5 percent of people wait that long."

Quoting TheNuge:" ?? who is REALLY talking about waiting until marriage. Sure, some approaches specify that but most ... [snip!] ... can "buy" 6 months or 2 years is debatable, but in many cases, the delay is helpful. It is NOT the goal of most programs. "

Quoting MysticWitchKat:" And you have facts to prove that?"

Quoting TheNuge:" Oh, I'm not saying the health teacher's course content determines what the kid decides. It's just a ... [snip!] ... and not "God will punish you), the kid has a better chance of making better choices about sex and other important matters. "

Quoting Tarynosaurus Rex:" My high school was abstinence only and they were big on pushing for "waiting until marriage'. Nevermind ... [snip!] ... that it never ever goes away, told us you can get pregnant at any time in your cycle, etc. It was just a bunch of bullsmurf."

Quoting The Doctor:" I can totally see how that is kind of shady... but it is true. Most women do ovulate between periods, ... [snip!] ... cycle, and therefore (technically) you can get pregnant at any point during your cycle. Including when you have your period."

Quoting TheNuge:" Sounds like they need to revamp the program. also, people need to spread the word to ADULTS that you can get pregneant while BFing. Lots of bad info out there from a variety of sources."
