Well, as amazing as it may sound, abstinance only managed to keep trillians of young girls from getting pregnant for thousands of years. Only when the government decided it could do a better job of teaching kids about sex did this "I have a right to have sex" attitude begin. And it didn't happen over night, so why would anyone think or expect it to be undone overnight? Especially with 90% of the teachers turning their noses up at it. Do you really think that all those kids who went through those classes and had sex anyway didn't know about birth control?
