about the schools. if they are not particularly religious schools people have chosen to go to, if they are public or non-religious, the way I see the mention of God or Jesus or whatever by a teacher or authority constitutes a disrespect to these kids' religious freedom.
again, on abstinence, of course it can't be taught or encouraged, it is a personal decision people are entitled over their own bodies. Abstinence is not a fact, it is not science so how can it be part of the school curriculum?
Ideally, behaviour shouldn't be encouraged, you should simply encourage kids to think for themselves.
Kids are kids. The more you tell them not to, the more you keep bringing it up, the more repressed and irresponsible they will be. Numbers have been showing that in places where they teach abstinence kids don't use condoms, they have higher rates of teenage pregnancy, etc.
Repression and encouraging virginity always had the opposite effect - just look at what they say about catholic girls.
there is nothing unnatural about being a teenager and wanting to have sex, if they do or don't it's their personal choice, but making them feel inadequate for having those desires is crossing boundaries.
