Oh really, Bristol, just because you chose not to control yourself, you think abstinence in “not realistic”? So, if another kid skips class, or chooses not to do his homework and fails, can he say that getting a good grade is “not realistic”? Ridiculous. None of my friends in high school had sex. None. And no, they were not all religious. I know literally dozens of people who waited until they were married to have sex. You can think of teenagers as “children” all you want, but they are young adults, not toddlers. They can exercise self-control. They understand the concept of delayed gratification, and they are capable of planning for the future. They aren’t perfect, but they are definately not stupid.
