Abstinence and Sex Education

http://www.avert.org/abstinence.htm

I chose this article because it shares various facts on the importance of abstinence such as the importance of attaining self sufficiency before engaging in sexual activity, and how to reject sexual advances and that alcohol and drug use increases vulnerability to sexual advances.

In this article i found that "The research that is available currently shows at best mixed outcomes for abstinence based approaches to sex education, benefiting some young people in the short term but placing them at greater risks later." This was very fascinating and schoking for me because i dont fully understand how practicing abstinence can have a a risk.
