Abstinence only education is only effective if those that were taught that method don't have sex. So where do you go if those taught abstinence only decide to ignore the teachings and have sex? The same goes with teaching about condoms. It's only effective if those that were taught about condoms actually use them if they decide to have sex. We can preach and teach all we want. Ultimately the end result is beyond our control. I wonder what the percentage of these teens with STDs actually had unprotected sex as opposed to condom protected sex. Chances are the infected teens didn't use condoms. Abstinence only may be 100% effective, but that different from claiming abstinence only education is 100% effective.

STD's are Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Why wouldn't you want to give abstinence education a chance?
