From The Confessional: Abstinence-Only Sex Ed Is Not Actually Sex Ed At All

” confuses and shames kids and prepares them in no way for the inevitable adult life that lies in their future. And, it allows the adults in the room to ignore and accept zero responsibility for the fact that teenagers do have sex—they always have. And that choice has consequences that their parents, teachers, legislators, and healthcare providers must prepare them for.Confessional #25851736

Sexual education should 100% include a discussion about abortion. And, spread the news, folks! For the outspoken anti-abortion activists out there, did you now that the MOST effective way to prevent abortions is by providing adequate sex ed, access to birth control, and proper healthcare?! Yep! It’s not—hold on to your hat, Gertrude—outlawing it. That method actually doesn’t stop or reduce abortion rates. But sex ed does!“During puberty girls breasts grow a lot.

There are different schools of thought on whether the most effective sexual education for teens scares the shit out of them or not. It’s important that even if we rattle them a little—like hey, one unprotected encounter could literally change your life, and also, kids are expensive AF—we also educate them. If it’s all fear and no facts, we aren’t helping. They still need to understand birth control. And consent. And that sex is a big deal and can change everything.

Not only not helping, but seems to be actively hurting.
