i agree that the "just say no" program is better than nothing, but being a teen myself, you can't just tell kids they shouldn't do it. Everyone i know had a sex ed class (a couple hours of telling kids what it is or whatever), but because i moved right around that time i left before the one in my old school and missed the one in my new school. So i don't know exactly what is discussed, but i know it doesn't take a couple hours to tell kids to just say no. maybe there should be programs to make condoms more available, and maybe there should be advertisements from more than just the product brand (refering to the trojan commercials that are often made to be too vague for teens to really understand), that push condom use. When i was in Germany there were billboards and posters everywhere pushing condom use. maybe something like that would be helpful too.
