Of course, as far as I'm aware sex ed in the US still doesn't teach kids anything that's actually useful to know; we're still pushing some ridiculous psuedo-Christian abstinence agenda, I think. I imagine teenage pregnancy would go way the hell down if we actually taught kids about sex and things like how to properly use a condom instead of acting like having sex is some kind of vile, criminal act.
When I was 16, if I wanted to fuck, I was gonna fuck. Even nerdy kids like me got laid if we really wanted to. That's not going to change - your body is TELLING you to go fuck, and I've never seen an "abstinence only" kid that looked like his or her head was on all the way.
