Did you know 30% of American sex education teaches teens about abstinence only?!


Question: What are you guys doing? =/
Seriously, I love Americans, but you guys need to wake up and smell the latex...
American girls are now 4-5 times more likely to become preganant or have an abortion than European girls. American teens are also much more likely to contract an STD through unprotected oral or anal sex while attempting to keep "abstinence pledges".

Either you guys do something about this, or I'm hopping on a plane with a suitcase full of condoms. =)

I have health 2nd semester, so I'll get back to you then.
It's sad that they give it to us this late...
most kids have lost their virginity by now (or everyone at my school is a whore or a liar XP)
Hopefully the latter... lol.

lol I live in America and i totally agree with you.

yep - it is disgraceful.

And I wonder why there are so many posts on here titled "can I get a std from kissing?"

Hopefully starting in 2008 we will be able to do something about it -- no more religious conservatives with influence in teh white house.

Thats exactly what my high school teaches. I found it discusting. I was waiting to learn how to put on a condom but NOOOO, I mean i already know how obviously I'm not stupid but seriously....What the hell? thats exactly what I say!

Haha, luckily my sex ed class talks about being safe. Once the teacher passed out gloves to about half the class, and she told them to put it on. She then had people shake hands, and the people without gloves "Got STDs". Haha, she was kind of crazy, but it got the point across.

lol is that the mission that you're on? =P

I live in Canada (I don't know if you mean North America when you say America or just the USA =____=) and I go to a catholic school, I have health class next semester and I'm pretty sure they only teach about abstinence ... I dunno. i'm just assuming that because that's pretty much all they taught in elementary school. l


anyway, since I agree with you i'll give you a star =]

I'm in Canada, and most of the protective and other 'measures' have been gone over. It's been drilled in since Grade 7.
