Default UPenn Tests Abstinence Education

http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/...-84606542.html

This is an article that says abstinence-only sexual education might have some benefit. I don't know, I think it makes sense to talk about abstinence but to also tell teens that if they do have sex, to use condoms.

Yeah, I don't see any harm in talking about abstinence because, let's face it, that's the only sure way to avoid STDs and pregnancy. But also no harm in talking about condoms and testing because, let's face it again, we can tell teens a million time not to have sex and most of them will do it anyway!
