Whay am I not surprised?

"Sex education classes appear to boost the likelihood that teens will wait until at least their 15th birthday to have sex. A study of more than 2,000 teens found that boys who had sex education in school were 71 percent less likely to have sex before age 15. The effect was also significant among teen girls in school, particularly among blacks."

If you give kids complete and accurate information, they will be more inclined to make better decisions as they understand the consequences of any action.
