Sex between unmarried people happens and will continue to happen no matter what
This is a very true statement but.......teens know that adults seem to have this laxidazical attitude, a "they'll do it anyway" feeling, so what's to stop the teens from having sex. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately...I'm not sure), because of television, I can guarantee that almost every 10-11 year old knows what a condom is and what it is used for. And certainly, anyone young that is considering having sex knows about birth control. They don't need adults telling them how to use it. I am all for the abstinence programs being implemented. No-one is going to take away condoms...and maybe only giving kids the stats on how they can fail will help deter them totally. This is all IMO of course I just feel like the attitude that most adults give to children/teens makes them think that it just doesn't matter anyway. The only other reason that younger people are running out in droves to have sex is because they are lacking the feeling of love and acceptance...I can't fix that one (heck, I can't fix any of it), but all of the teen pregnancy that I've come across seems to stem from that.

Thanks for a good discussion everyone...although I just realized how totally off-topic I was Ooopppsss!
