No, you are mistaken
Your very first post says this:
Other than that, most STD rates and teen birth rates are higher in US states that have abstinence-only education.

You are dead wrong, kids are given condoms and the pill and told abstinence works too.
Sex among teens is down some
preg and abortions is down
STDS are up.

That is what the data says.

Every single thread in this board about teens and sex in the usa blames religion.
You even resorted to the abstinence-only education, which those against religion do too.

kids are given condoms and the pill and told abstinence works too.
Sex among teens is down some what.,,'abstinence"
preg and abortions is down big time. "birth control"
STDS are up big time. "not using condoms"

care to actually figure out why this time?

Your conclusions are not coming from your facts. For example, you say:
"You are dead wrong, kids are given condoms and the pill and told abstinence works too."

No, in many places they are not given condoms and the pill, or told very much about them in detail.

As for blaming religion, I didn't even mention religion in this thread, so I don't know what you're talking about.

because in every single thread about teens and sex, religion is blamed for the negativity of teens and actual sex.

almost all religious discussion is about "they ruin everything"
nonsense.

You quoted the issue my post is raising and say you are not focusing on it?

I'm only pointing out that your,
"Not quite sure what this has to do with the main concept of the rise in STD's "
​
implies that my response should only target the issue of STD's.

Doesn't it bother you that 1 in 4 teens contract an STD each year and account for 50% of the US population?

It does, but so what?

I am lost at what you are even trying to say then.

That there are issues in your post other than STD's that are open to comment, so don't expect anyone to focus only on this one.

1 out of 5 teens contracts STDs and on the rise.
Plz find a way to blame religion on that one when kids have full access to condoms and the pill too.

And the thread dies

Religious beliefs are one reason that teenagers often don't use birth control methods. It isn't all of the reason, but it can factor into the decision.

Don't feed drunken rambling with honest response. It builds prejudice and hinders the ability to address other areas of the issue...

I feel that most teens think they know all about sex, but the truth is they know nothing about it, its no more than a thrill to them, and the consequence is un wanted babies and everything else, this is all because of them thinking they know, but sadly they know nothing.

True that.
I have seen quite a few girls on talk shows, barely out of a sippy cup talking about wanting a baby.
I love what they do, they put these kids in a room with a bunch of fussy babies and toddlers for a few hours.
Scared straight them right out of wanting to have their own baby. :D
