Facts will go here!

Abstinence only sex-ed is a form of sex education that only talks about abstinence from sex and does not talk about all the other types of sexual education. This type of sex-ed promotes abstinence from sex until marriage and completely avoids all other subjects of sex ed. They say that sex ed should emphasize teaching a morality that limits sex to that within the bounds of marriage and that sex outside marriage and at a young age has heavy physical and emotional costs. They claim that comprehensive sex education encourages teen premarital sexual activity, which should be discouraged in an era when HIV and other incurable sexually transmitted diseases are widespread and when teen pregnancy is a continued concern.

Thats very good point, abstinence is beingover-emphazised. Other methods should at least be mentioned and not banished.

I think that it's good that they're teaching abstinence at school, but they should teach other things too in case someone doesn't follow the abstinence technique.

i think its a good idea to teach this. it teaches people what the affects are and maybe help them make the right choice in a bad situation.

Abstinence is a good thing to have emphasized at school, but people really need to keep it in their pants to avoid problems.

I don't think talking about abstinence in public schools will do much to stop kids from having sex. It belongs in private schools. And if we don't learn about everything now, when will we?

abstinence is a good way to make sure you dont get pregnant and mess up your life. but even if its taught at school, people are still going to not follow it.

I believe abstinince is a good thing. All kids want is to be mature, and having sex makes them think that they are. They don't realize that their are major effects to this cause.

I think all the other methods shoulb be metioned and not banished. All sex education does not fully prevent you from doing it/ it just gives you facts.

Abstinince being taught is a good thing, but shouldn't be the only thing. People should be taught this so they can make the right and better decisions for their lives.

Abstinence is a good thing because it could really help students but it shouldn't be the only taught thing.
