Abstinence programs only work if there is already a solid base to work on, i.e., parents actually telling their kids about sex. The "Safe sex" programs are also common in schools but they don't show much more success then the abstinence programs. Parents need to sit down with their kids at a reasonable age,like oh say, 11(not waiting till they're 15, it'll be too late then)and tell them straight, how your body is changing, what sex is, what can happen, that they hope you wait but if you don't to protect yourself. Are parents afraid to talk to their kids about sex because they think that if they don't say anything they don't do it? Fat chance of that happening.

I blame it on the abstinence only education. Also it could be the economy...after all, how else should they occupy their time if they can't get afterschool jobs or if their parents are working longer hours and the house is empty.
