I'm not saying don't teach abstinence. I'm saying that to think that a teenager isn't going to have sex just because you don't talk about it is naive.
Knowledge is power. Giving your children the complete story is the best, rather then to bury your head in the sand and say "If I don't acknowledge it, it won't happen".
Oh, and BTW, most 'liberals' are for gun control laws. |
