The "Just Say No" thing may be stupid, but, in a way it does help.
Most "No" programs give you much more than "No". Atleast they will tell you that if you do do it, to use a condom.
Saying "no" and "use a condom" was much more than I ever got from my parents.
And they will also tell you the consequences if you don't use a condom. They mostly focus on AIDS and other STDs rather than pregnancy, which is atleast something.
Once again, far more than I ever got from my parents.
Even though I educated myself about sex because no one else would, I'd still would like to see the programs kept in school. Atleast it was SOMETHING. And it's a lot more than some kids will ever get from their parent(s).
And besides, if that 170,000,000 dollars wasn't spent there, they'd find something else to spend it on... and 50 bucks says it'd be far more stupid than "just say no".
