I don't know what they're teaching in the schools these days but my suggestion is to have them all watch a movie showing a woman giving birth, complete with screams and all the assorted bodily fluids that are involved. Then have the movie continue with graphic depictions of STD's- herpes sores, leaking pus etc. At the very end have a statement "It can all be prevented with" and show a condom. If it doesn't stop them from having sex maybe at least it'll scare them into safe sex.
Wow, Fengzi, after seeing a movie like the one you described, I think every girl would be afraid to have sex . You make an interesting observation. I also believe that too much preaching about abstinence would make teens have sex more but what do I know...I have a doctor (an expert in this subject) as my boss telling me what I should say. Education IS the key!

I'm really interested in hearing about you moving so much during your teen years as I moved around a lot too but that's off topic so I'll have to catch ya some other time .

Under 18 Year Olds Having Sex Seriously, I would like to know, if you are under the age of 18 or were under the age of 18 and have/had sex, why do/did you, besides the obvious answer of because it feels/felt good? What, if anything, could have prevented you from having sex at an early age? Do you believe that the media has anything to do with it? Could your parents or adults in your life could've said/done anything to make you wait? If so, what could they have said or done? Rating: 5
