Quote From: coldfeatYou are unfortunately the exception to the rule with many kids today. You believe sex before marriage is wrong, and that is a good thing! I wish there were more kids like you! Your school sounds like they are a little more truthful in their sex ed program. Is your school's sex ed program abstinence based? or have you made your decision based on parental/church guidance? also did your school tell you that condoms are only about 85% effective in preventing pregnancy and STDs? I believe education is the best thing, but let's not lead these kids astray by telling them one thing (premarital sex is a bad idea) then turning around and giving them condoms. to me that makes no sense whatsoever.
Why do you only commend this young woman on her choice to wait till marriage? There were so many other strong points to her statement: SHE doesn't believe in premarital sex.
I'm not going to assume that her choice would've been the same or different if she hadn't taken the class, in any event, she made the choice. Young people are not always going to make the right decisions, however, we should take any viable avenue that will arm them with the right information to make the right choices for themselves.
Many programs at secondary schools rarely hand out condoms, other then to demonstrate their use. High school programs should have condoms available to students, but, they should be sold for a reduced price.
