    yeah - we had a sex ed class in highschool too - it didnt take. small town but close to 35% of my graduating class dropped out due to teenage pregnancy (or died because of drunk driving).

        Depends if the school’s in Texas or not. But more broadly In my experience the problem is that they go on and on about no sex outside of marriage which is an unrealistic expectation, and don’t actually ever explain things like preventatives.
