Description

When schools teach abstinence only education, they hope that teens will simply ignore the prospect of sexuality since they have not been exposed to it. However, in this day and age, technology allows exposure to virtually anyone with access to the internet. Rather than using this reality to properly educate students, schools often put them in danger, leading to teen pregnancy, the contraction of STDs, and overall confusion and chaos. In this episode, we discuss the realities of abstinence only education in the states where it is most prevalent, and then I provide education on pregnancy prevention in the proper manner in order to ensure safety of students.
