Quote:In all seriousness, you hit on a good point there.


Not too long ago, I saw (or heard, can't recall exactly how) that numbers of STD, teenage pregnancy were high and increasing.


If sex ed and increased preventatives like condoms have already been taught/given, it doesn't look like it's working (due to the numbers anyway).


I'm all for that if it will actually work. They better increase the education and preventatives alot if they want it to achieve success. If it is already at a high level, then it appears they're going to have to find another way.

Not long ago huh? LOL. Teen birth rates are actually going down and have been declining for the entire decade. And the teen pregnancy rates in states that have "abstinance only" and other backwards policies when it comes to birth control and birth control education (TEXAS, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, etc) the rates are higher. The "liberal" east coat and west coast states have the lowest rates of teenage pregancy. The red states in the south have high rates.


Go figure.
