    hey 4life, sorry but you're looking at bad research - in reality, abstinence programs are insidious, superfluous and ridiculous. A self-indulging consecrated belief that it is your manifest destiny to ordain zealous, deluding biblical tenets upon teenagers is not only wishful thinking, but destructive as well. I have successfully raised my children by fomenting character, intelligence, reason and love, without obscuring them with the half-truths and blatant lies of religious or faith-based nonsense.

    Study shows societies worse off "with God on their side" http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1798944,00.html RELIGIOUS belief can cause damage to a society, contributing towards high murder rates, abortion, sexual promiscuity and suicide, according to research published today. According to the study, belief in and worship of God are not only unnecessary for a healthy society but may actually contribute to social problems. (cont.)

    David, religious affiliations all over the country are lobbying hard to undermine sound, science-based measures and programs that effectively deal with teen sex-related problems, all in the name of dogma. That's one intentional, spectacular dysfunction we urgently need need to curb.

    David, I agree with you on the not judging, common sense, education & information bit. That's how I live. The problem as exposed in the article, lies with our government squandering precious resources in catering to special interests with an agenda to set deleterious standards for our society.
