Should we get used to the fact that young kids are doing what some some say is fornication? Or should we declare a war on youth sex.Politically speaking: Is abstinence for teenagers unrealistic?
If you do that you will go blind
Hey that will make hair grow on your palms
0--------------- What insane crap haven't we tried
How about telling kids the truth --- and then not filling their heads with lies and media prompts about sex and clothes and other crap
I know it is a long shot -- an oddball scheme -- but the truth might work here
----------- Look Johnny -- your horny and that is very natural and today -- we are going to go visit some single moms living in the poor section of town and their dad who is in jail because he couldn't afford to pay for his own children
And guess what Johnny --- this too could be your life -- Yes being horny is great and nothing to be ashamed of but the social economic forces of our land are horrific and unforgiving and if you make this mistake you might end up the property of some evil overlord who will work the crap out of you and pay you next to nothing for it --- from there you will be forced to live in a crime district and likely develop an addiction issue --- just to escape the unfairness that has become your life
No one can stop you from doing things which are very natural for you to want to do --
Now the magazine shop is that way and the condom shop is over here --- have a nice dayPolitically speaking: Is abstinence for teenagers unrealistic?
Abstinence-only education is a failure. Kids who get it are just as likely to have sex as those who get complete information. But one of the things they teach in abstinence-only classes is that contraception is ineffective, not better than nothing. So kids who have taken abstinence only classes are less likely to use contraception and more likely to get pregnant or catch STD's.
Virginity pledges have no effect on the sexual activity of the kids who make them. 鈭犅?
Ya know the phrase, ';hope for the best, but plan on the worst,'; well, it works well.
So we should hope for a world of teenage abstinence, and try to work towards that, but we must plan on the fact that, yes, teenagers will have sex no matter what anyone does. So, abstinence-only education will not work. Sex-ed must have contraceptive and STD education. It must. Otherwise, HIV/AIDS and pregnancy is going to skyrocket. But we shouldn't completely abandon the effort to cut down on sexually active teenagers.
';Abstinence Only'; was nothing short of an abysmal failure.
Teenagers are going to have sex-it's a fact.
Remember Prohibition and how well that worked? Of course not, it failed dismally too.
Anytime you try to stop what is a part of human nature, it backfires.
If a teenager is going to have sex, it's better that they know the risks and how to use protection.
Some kids are having sex but that doesn't mean that you can't teach abstinence as well as other ideas in sex education. It needs to be emphasized that abstinence is the only one that works 100% of the time and the rest of the ';safe'; methods all have risks.
I don't know too many kids who don't already have a pretty good understanding of sex ed even before they get it taught in school.
People will say abstinence doesn't work. Abstinence does work, it's not following it that doesn't work.
I agree with religious conservatives when they want to challenge the youth to delay sexual activity. However, I strongly object to their message that a condom is a provision for sin, especially when the church leaders who tell you that will not allow themselves to be publicly debated on the issue, and they often poke fun at real-life 30 and 40 year-old virgins. I send my Christian friends to the website below which challenges the whole thing against premarital sex in the Bible. That way they have no excuse not to support comprehensive sex education.
No its not.
I took a abstinence/virginity pledge in my 9th grade year
I'm now 18 and its still held true.
Granted its not easy at all, but I think if more emphasis was put on abstinence then it wouldn't seem like such a foreign concept.
I guess really its more of a personal choice and it really isnt something gov't should get too involve in.
The benefits of it are your chances of having an std, etc. go down drastically to almost non existent.
No chance of pregnancy.
And its something you dont get back, so giving it to someone you actually love is more meaningful.
Of course thats just my own opinion.
Every person is different and I think that should be left up to the individual, as to what they want.
Yes it is unrealistic.
Sexual maturity is controlled by millions of years of biological reproduction, not the federal govt.
The best you can do is teach kids to be careful with STDs and don't get knocked up.
I don't think it's unrealistic. Teenagers need to be taught to repect themselves and their bodies. Unfortunately, so many of them have little self esteem and it eventually leads to being promiscuous.
Telling teenagers not to have sex is like telling the birds not to fly. Abstinence only sex education is a waste of time and money, it shouldn't be excluded, but a more realistic approach is necessary.
Today it probably is unrealistic.
They keep starting younger and younger. The media is a big factor if not the main factor whether you want to admit it or not.
Abstinence as the sole choice we promote? Yes it is unrealistic. Abstinence should be part of a total sex education program that our youth are exposed to.
(edit, whoops) Yes, but it shouldn't be completely disregarded. You can teach abstinence in conjuction with true sex education.
Do we teach kids about responsible drinking or tell them to abstain?
Don't kids drink regardless? Does that mean we should teach kids the finer art of keg stands and how to properly take a body shot?
There is nothing political about teenage sex.
You can't legislate morality.
no
but kids know how to use birth control... and their moms and sisters teach them how to get pregnant in Detroit and Philly so they can get welfare
Of course it is unrealistic
No, it is still the only 100% reliable option against the spread of STD's and pregnancy.
When all we have are left wing kooks giving them all rubbers what are the chances they will say no
physiologically challenging!
lol ..absolutely..The idea came from India (yoga) and required a very high level of intelligence and self discipline
Bristol Palin thinks so...
Saddlebacking worked for me!
ASK ME HOW!!!!
In the broad spectrum of thing? Yes.
No....Giving up.... That always works.
There would be no point. We spend billions on it and it doesn't help at all.
Yes.
Part of growing up.
No. If we give them other options, that will encourage teenage sex
