9,642 posts	that's why I'm not against teaching birth control in school. I'm actually against the use of birth control within the context of marriage, but I don't believe in sex before marriage anyway, so if you're going to do it before that anyway, for goodness' sake, use birth control. But in actual PRACTICE, abstincence is the best method of not getting pregnant, even teaching it as the only way in classes isn't the best way of doing things.

For Megan, abstinence is her personal choice and she believes it is best for her, personally. Perhaps abstinence isn't the best choice for you. I don't believe that abstinence, only, should be taught in schools as it is less a form of birth control and more a deeply personal and spiritual choice. All forms of birth control should have equal time dedicated to them as a way, first and foremost, to educate teenagers about STD's and pregnancy. This is simply because while abstinence works for some, it doesn't work for others and those who want to experiment safely should have the knowledge to do so.

2,356 posts	Its only sex before marriage if you get married. There was a girl online like a week ago asking if she could get pregnent her first time...people need the information about contraceptives and STDs... I don't see a reason why I should be abstinent. Just make sure the sex is safe. (well as low risk as possible while engaging in it)

28,885 posts	Druid or something like that...I never heard of it till I "met" Phil... I think abstinence is ok, but I don't udnerstand the Catholic religion and their war against birtth control. I say, if it is enjoyable and you can do it responsibly without harming anyone, go for it.. It's only bad when you have a school like mine with tons of pregnant f reshman and and sophomores running around because they were stupid...

43,215 posts	Yes, I'm a Druid. My beliefs involve getting closer to our own basic natures as well as the natural world, and as sex is a huge part of our basic instincts we don't suppress it. The drive to have sex is one of the most powerful instincts that we have, second only to our instincts of self-preservation. In my own opinion, abstinence is something that would take a massive amount of self control to maintain (and kudos to those who want to hold off until they're married and manage it). Abstinence as a form of birth control on the other hand, is just laughable. It can't work - period.
