I grew up in a school district that was abstinence-only, but thankfully I had parents willing to go over more than that with me. Granted, it was only about birth control, rather than many of the other areas of sex I feel it may have been helpful to know (like, that women CAN have higher sex drives than a man. I felt like a freak for years until I found you guys.) Anyways - I didn't end up having sex young, and I've never participated in risky sexual behavior. Because I was AWARE. Seriously, study after study after study shows that better educated kids make better choices. What is wrong with lawmakers and school boards?!

I mean, it wasn't exactly adequate, but I am so so glad I never had to experience abstinence education.
