STUDY FINDS: TELLING TEENS TO AVOID SEX DOESN'T WORK

"The comprehensive evaluation...found the rate of sexually active students leapt from 5.8% to 12.4% after the seminars."

[But I thought teens loved to be told what to do! -LoM]

[Back in the early 90's I got a booklet from a tobacco company on how to keep your kids from smoking. Quoting from memory, but it said something like: "Tell them smoking is an adult decision they're not ready to make yet...tell them to wait until they have developed the maturity and judgment to decide if smoking is right for them...etc. etc." -MoF]
