i do not think that that is something the school should teach. even at the pep rally. That should be totally up to the parents at that point. I do believe there is a point in to much information. I also dont agree with the school showing that because it takes the infasas off of how dangerous sex can be. If in one breath you say don't do this because of da da da da da and in the next you say but this is how you put on a condom so you can have sex. it defeats the purpose. All the kid is going to remember is the condom

Now, let me clarify myself even further. I would rather have a sexually active teen use a condom rather then not.  .......But, I'm not going to tell my son all that stuff and show him all the things that can go wrong and hand him a condom while saying it.  I don't dislike condoms, i just don't agree with the false sense of security they provide.    " I got a condom so I can have sex" It provides teenagers with and excuse to okay themeselfs. Instead of going with their gut knowing it is wrong... they ignore it and say well i used a condom so no harm done.    Make sense?

  I'm 15 and this is what I have to say.               I just saw the show and Dr. Phil could never be so wrong.  If a teen is going to have sex before they're married then there are issues from the start.  You shouldn't have sex befored you're married.  Having sex before you're married is telling your future spouse that you couldn't wait for them.  Studies also show that if you wait to have sex before you're married that your marriage will more than likely last or last longer.  You should give information to the kids in school but the school shouldn't be handing out condems without the parents knowing.  TD Jakes is right and so if Ed.  They should be afraid to have sex before they are married.  Have any of you realized that there are more STDs than there were back then. You know why? Because we are talking too much about sex or too little.  Really this shouldn't be a problem.  But it is.  America got what they deserved.  America was based on religion.  Then we turned rebellios on religion. A rebel equals a rebel.  One last thing.  The problem starts with the parents.  PARENTS BE TEACHING YOUR KIDS THE RIGHT WAY ABOUT LIFE/SEX NOT TO BE AGAINST IT.!!!!!!!!!!!  SO SAY WE ALL.

Teens need to be taught abstinece, but they also need to know why.  Just telling them that as teens they aren't "ready" for it is not enough.  Sexual intercourse is the highest expression of love between a man and a woman, so belongs within the bounds of a committed relationship--marriage.  It is through sex that we become closest to God by becoming co-creators (either literally or figuaratively) with God. Casual sex is selfish, denies the sacred nature of the act and makes us little better than rutting animals.  We need to teach our children morals, not just sex eduaction.
