In this day and age more and more teens are having sex. Why? No one can say for sure. But the truth of the matter is, people are doing it. Teens ought to be taught about the dangers of sex and the ways to prevent these dangers from happening. Abstinence is one thing to teach, but let's face the fact: if someone wants to have sex, they're going to do it and no middle-aged teacher spouting off about "waiting" is going to change their adolescent rebellious mind. People believe what they want to believe and do what they think is right for them. Knowing someone is going to have sex, wouldn't it be better for them to do it safely? Teaching about safe sex will result in fewer teen pregnancy and fewer STD's. Though many teens may choose abstinence, just as many do not. And those people need to be informed because ignorance is NOT bliss and what you don't know CAN hurt you.
