As someone who himself waited a long time, of course I do. What I don't have respect for is inane "systems" and "programs" that preach ignorance or rely on some sort of weird external symbolism rather than actually teaching kids to make intelligent decisions for themselves.

Like I said, at least one study has shown that these stupid rings and the message that goes with them make things worse. Just as many studies have shown that "abstinence-only programs" have had a similar non effect or negative effect (even when the text books distort the facts to make sex seem more dangerous than it even is in reality).

Honesty and knowledge are parents' and society's best weapons. I wish they would be used more.
