Just because a school promotes abstinence doesnt mean every student is going to be abstinent...she is just being real i guess you could say by making the statement that students are still having sex weither the school likes it or not

i guess if the school doesnt acknowledge it then it doesnt happen

Which is why having an abstinence-attitude in school (I mean the school promoting that message and not acknowledging that sex IS real and that it DOES and IS happening) is so dangerous.

I agree with Nikolita. By stubbornly maintaining an abstinence attitude, a school may as well be supporting the saying, "Ignorance is bliss." (And ironically, that would be demoting their own cause.)

There is a girl in my school that has sex very often and with different partners. She's been pregnant twice and suffered miscarriages both times. I've talked to her about using condoms, but she says she wouldn't know where to get them/have a ride to get them. If condoms were more readily available to her, then her pregnancies may not have happened. I wouldn't be surprised if she has multiple STDs.

I'm not entirely sure about my own school's policy, but I think I'll check into it when spring break is over.

I agree with everything said here. Though supporting abstinance should be number 1 on the list, being ignorant of the fact that kids are going to still have sex is just stupid. It should be sort of like Mean Girls

"If you have sex, you WILL die. Now everyone take some rubbers" haha wink

Hmm...Maybe I should do this at my school to see what happens. People have actually been caught in the bathrooms at my school. Was kind of funny though, the teachers in the room beside the bathroom heard the girl yelling. Turns out the guy was my ex-boyfriends's ex-girlfriends's boyfriend at the time. And of the course the girl he was caught with was the school slut known for actually doing any guy that wanted some, and admitting it if asked. So yea

I am all for promoting abstinence, but plugging up your ears and screaming "lalalalala" every time someone mentions teen sex does NOTHING to help people. The principal and the teachers are the ADULTS, it's their duty to acknowledge the truths of the world and to help kids make good decisions. By all means push towards abstinence, but at least acknowledge and help provide for alternatives.

Besides, this girl wasn't being a smartass. She wasn't wearing a shirt that says something like "let's all have a big orgy." She's trying to protect her peers from the very real consequences of their actions.

"Acknowledging" sex doesn't make it happen, but not acknowledging it can make things very much worse.

I really don't agree with their policy, but you know, I'm a firm believer that the parents need to do something about that as well. I think as parents we have a responsibility to educate ourselves so we can teach our kids all things about sex, instead of making the school the teacher on something so personal. With that being said, however, I think the school should be providing an education to go along with that regarding sex if the student and parents want to participate in it. I don't understand WHY someone wouldn't want to, but it's their choice. It should be an option. I also think the parents if they want that, they should research on the schools their children go to and I think teens should also take a proactive stance on educating themselves.

The school has a strict dress code against clothing that advocates sex or drugs and does not condone distributing condoms on school grounds, Paradiso said.


Yes, I'm aware the girl wasn't trying to make a ruckus, but she did break school policy.

abstinance only education is a very bad way to go because some arn't going to listen and they are going to have sex without knowladge on safety.

She did break the rules but now the school should start thinking about changing their polocies.
