About a month ago my high school had a special guest speaker, Kenni Thomas, who was part of the Black Hawk Down operation. He spoke to us about his experience and his music career. The assembly was sponsered by our local Abstience Only group. The thing that really bothered me was that after Kenni Thomas got down after his very inspirational talk, a member of the Abstience Only group got up and basically told us that we could never be as successful as him if we had sex, so don't do it. Obviously not having sex is a good choice to make, but just because you do it doesn't make you a bad person and even if you do have sex and get pregnant that doesn't limit how successful you can be in your lifetime.
So why do schools allow for people to come in and say such things? Even more so at a school that has an extremely high pregnancy rate, and if there are so many girls pregnant, think of how many are having sex and just haven't got pregnant yet.
Schools shouldn't put such a bad name on sex and make it a shameful subject and rather teach us to protect ourselves instead of just saying don't do it.
