Quote:So you can't cite any respectable scientific study that actually proves that abstinence education doesn't work. Don't put it on me to cite sources, you are the one that said it. Prove it.

I'm speaking about life and how I've lived it and know it.

How many single mothers under the age of 20 were there in say 1973 as compared to now? We'll use statistics from 2013. Has the number gone up or down?

Next look at the same statistics, but use the years say 1953 to 1973.

What is the difference?

I'll tell you one thing. It used to be a "stigma" for a girl under the age of 20 to become pregnant out of wedlock. What is it now? Where are the "fathers" in these cases?

Quote:Nobody is saying that abstinence is THE answer, but it's a good start.

It all comes down to personal responsibility. I too was taught abstinence my whole life, and yes, as a young teenager I did "explore" and do otherwise. The point is, I had some knowledge and responsibility. I can remember being a young kid and going into the store to buy condoms. I also remember my then girlfriend and I saving up the money for her to get birth control.

The point is, we didn't wait on the government to provide for us. We both felt that if we were "mature" enough to have sex then we were "mature" enough to be responsible about it. ytraM is right about one thing. In this day and age any "woman" can avoid becoming pregnant if she wants to. The same can be said regarding any "man" avoiding becoming a "father" if he really wants to.

Maybe I'm still hungover, but you're asking for proof that abstinence education doesn't always work, then you turn around and say you were taught abstinence and yet you didn't abstain as a young teen.

I agree that it all boils down to personal responsibility. It's imperative that people understand how to protect themselves and that there are a variety of ways to be safe about having sex. I'm fine with abstinence being one facet of sex education, but it should never be the only option presented.
