5. Don't fuck. Don't get pregnant.
Just because your mother had you in junior high school doesn't mean she wants to be a grandmother before she's 30.

The truth is priceless.
For everything else there is mastercard.

6. haha!
abstinence-only sex ed is stupid. Now, if they want to to mix it in with reality based sex education, that is fine; but abstinence-only sex ed alone is just ignorant.

even overt violence over this.

10. Good!
Abstinence-only education has been a total disaster. Just look at the number of teen pregnancies.

Abstinence-only education has been a truly catastrophic failure.
