I'd always correct the tenth grade teacher on her anti-drug propaganda (marijuana is the first intoxicant anyone ever does, heroin is instantly addictive, you can do this with this) and then get stared down by her. She was such an idiot. One time I made a joke, "Hey. Did you hear about the MALE birth control pill? You take it and it changes your blood type." I seriously had to effing explain it to her.

I only didn't get detention because she admitted to having a crush on my dad when they were at a high school reunion and she was hammered. Nice example, you wacky broad.

Fast forward to 10th grade, the year I took Health class. We didn't cover anything on reproductive health and sex and all that. Actually, we may have very briefly touched on it, but it was basically a "don't have sex" message. The high school I went to had a very large number of pregnant and parenting students, too.

And that is why abstinence programs don't work. Students ARE going to have sex, so why not tell them how to do it safely?
