One of the problems with school sexual education when it was accurate information was that they neglected to also teach the emotional consequences of sex. We learned the biological stuff, but not what to expect in terms of how we felt after sex, what happens with relationships, etc.

These days, schools accepting government funds have to teach abstinence and give misleading and even false information on sex. I'm not against teaching that abstinence is a great idea until you're truly ready for sex, and the only way to guarantee you won't get an STD (barring rape or perhaps extremely unlikely scenarios). Plus, the texts are sexist, and that offends me as a feminist. See http://www.nonewmoney.org/ for some of the things they're teaching. They're told to emphasize the failure rates of condoms, but what they don't tell children is, the higher number they give is when the condom is used improperly. It really disgusts me.

And, sure enough, teen pregnancy is rising.
