With all due respect Anthony but teaching teenagers not to have sex won't work. Part of teenagers life tends to be disregarding parents orders and rules. I don't understand why they would make exception in mortal pleasures.

Only because modern society has removed the stigma and consequences attached to it. It's doing them no favors either.

You maybe correct August. I'm propably too young to remember such time and I'm Finn not American so...

After all it doesn't really matter. We are currently living the (quite) early 21st century and world changes. Unless people are able (and ready) to change current reality back to "good old times" then (atleast some) teenagers will have sex. Period.

I personally see prevention* more sensible path than abstience.

*I didn't use "birth control" as it dismisses secondary role of such device as condom. Which is to prevent diseases from spreading.

I don't see the two methods as mutually exclusive.

True, they only become exclusive when people insist only one is followed.
Those who push for "prevention only" education have a lot to answer for.
