You mean, horny teens that promise not to have sex are still likely to have sex, this just can't be!
Idiots.
Last year, the same research team found that 88 percent of teens who pledge abstinence end up having sex before marriage, compared with 99 percent of teens who do not make a pledge.
There isn't a real huge difference in the numbers there, and frankly, 88% is reason enough to teach safe sex either in addition to or instead of abstinence-only education. Clearly, abstinence-only programs don't make enough of a difference on their own. (And more than likely some of the 12% saying they didn't have sex are lying, just like some of the 99% are probably lying about having had sex...remember, these are teens.)
