Teaching abstinence only is a bad system, I live in the UK and early on we were taught about sex, condoms, STD's and peer pressure. And seriously, as a kid I appreciated the honesty, kids need clear and honest information about sex because they are going to find out one way or another. There will be kids in America who have only been taught abstinence (which definitely isn't for anybody) and so have just went into sex without knowing about all this stuff, it's horrible because it leads to a whole world of consequences but it isn't their fault, they were never told.
Giving them honest information about these things isn't going to encourage them to be promiscuous, it is just preparing them for something that is going to happen sooner or later. If they aren't prepared, it is disastrous, and that is why I find the idea of all kids purposely not being told this stuff atrocious.
true dat. people are always going to rebel (and have sex eventually), so it's best to teach them to enjoy sex and prevent teen pregnancies.
