Should Abstinence Be Taught In Schools (At all)?

In my sexual health program we were taught that abstinence is the only sure way to prevent STI's/pregnancy (and our teacher recommended it overall), which it is. We were also taught about other methods of protection and sexual activity. I don't see anything wrong with it. I certainly don't think sexual activity during the teenage years should be encouraged.

I'm not really sure what you're getting at though. Maybe it's because I'm Canadian and have little knowledge of my local Catholic school.
