Explanation:
What should public schools teach our children about sex? It can be a complex question, especially when dealing with morals, social norms, pop culture, hormones and health. When students sit down for their sex education, should teachers embrace an abstinence-only policy?

Abstinence Education Works
Don't Argue The Facts
I have to agree keeping a teenager a virgin is the best way to reduce the problems of STDs and pregnancies. The only problem with that is that most teenagers want to and are going to have sex. The best way to deal with the problem is not to tell them to be virgins and hope it works. You have to show them that if they do decide to have sex, they need to use condoms and any sort of birth control available to reduce the chance of STDs and pregnancies. Abstinence only sex-ed programs may be the best solution ideally but they just aren't that realistic.
