Long disturbing story short I was taught abstinence in highschool. I had sex at 14 with my 13 girlfirend at the time, no protection. Good job abstenance did... all they do is tell you what sex is and then say don't do it...Thats like doin a line of crack infront of someone showing them a good time and then saying OHHHH by the way don't do this shit man it will fuck up your life.
