| That was true at my school too. I went to boarding school in canada where roughly 2/3s of the student body were coupled up. probably around 1/3 of them were having sex (not to mention the people who were not coupled up and had sex anyway) of all these people, there has not been 1 pregnancy at my school in 17 years. Imagine that..... in a 700 person student body, I think that is quite impresive. The reason for this was, of course, our education. Every year from grade 8 through grade 12 there was a mandatory month long course on sex/drug/alcohol education. Granted, after the first few years it was a bit tedious, in the long run it was benificiary (and not just because it was a month off gym class). None of us wanted to ruin the remaindor of our lives by an early pregnancy. So we used condoms and the pill, big deal right? Well, in 17 years that is at least 11900 children with a future other than daycare. |
