I remember when I was in middle school, for sex ed they preached that abstinence was the best policy. When mentioned that maybe condom machines should be made available in the bathrooms, they'd say that would just encourage teens to hook up.. I think they were just covering their eyes and ears and unwilling to accept the fact that teens will still have sex no matter how many times they were told they should be abstinent. It's like reverse psychology... You tell me not to do something, and I'm more likely to do it just to see why I shouldn't be doing it.
Even today, the subject of sex is still like a taboo in America. How many of those teens who had unprotected sex was because they were embarassed to go buy protection at the drug store because of all the times they were told they shouldn't be having sex? Educators need to open their eyes because the cases of incurable STDs like herpes and HIV will only increase. Everytime someone has sex with someone, they are literally having sex with everyone that person had.
