I think Whoopi Goldberg said it very well...
"You can't tell kids not to have sex. *Why? *Because it feels good... and they're going to do it until it stops feeling good. *And when that happens.... Get another partner."
I think instead of saying "No", *you should say "Be prepared". *Whether it happens at 15 or 30, it's probably going to happen eventually. *Isn't it better that they know the risks and consequences and how to improve the odds that the results won't be bad ones? *I think another thing that should be concentrated on in relation to this is self-esteem. *People who find value within themselves don't need to "prove" anything to anyone. *On here, Girl12 springs to mind. *She sounds very self-assured. *She knows what can happen and what she can deal with. *I wish more teens had her confidence.
And since I'm the "gay advocate" on here....
.... if you think sex ed for straight teens is lacking, try finding ANYTHING on growing up gay. *
