Like I said, if it was an easy to take course that was offered, I bet enough people would take the opportunity and it would be beneficial in the long run (less deadbeat parents, better kids)
That might be a blemish on my record, but I did not have any sexual relations of any kind (even kissing) until well into my adulthood, I followed all drinking laws in my state, I never smoked, I completed high school, completed college with honors, and had a job waiting for me when I walked to pick up my diploma. As far as society is concerned, that's pretty much a success.
Well except for that "procreate the species" thing.
But ignorant people wouldn't take a course because they already think they know better. I don't believe you can lower the price enough to make bad parents good ones.

May be you missed out on some key "straightening" events.
Look I don't know. I'm trying to view this as a church-guy and it's tough.

Smoking cigarettes under 18 wasn't illegal until I was 17. I wouldn't take anything NOM says with a grain of salt. I passed ALL my state education standardized test while under the influence of some drug or alcohol. I did better on the SAT's while on drugs than I did sober too and it was way more fun. I got to chase those little bubbles around the page and try desperately to fill them in appropriately before time ran out. Those little buggers are fast!
I didn't "buckle down" and I still got into a good college and finished a degree. I'm smart and I had every opportunity for a career with job offers when I left college.

Probably, but effective. I mean just look at how I turned out?
Lots of people had fun and enjoyed their lives and did these illegal or immoral things you speak of and turned out just as well as you. Just look around you. There's lots of successful people right here on this forum that drank and did drugs and had sex and partied and had a good time and enjoyed their lives a bit. Some of them don't even hate themselves too.
Shockingly. dz~whatever makes a good point. Usually I don't have anything to say because I don't really give a shit about gay-issues.
Negative peer pressure is the most effective tool for controlling adolescents. Sure you can beat them, some of them, but if you make a culture where people who disobey the rules are effectively social outcasts, well goddamn that's just about the best way to control them.
My school did this by making everyone mutually culpable. Someone in your class got caught doing something wrong, two other people got punished. If it happened again 4 people and so on. Homework especially, was strictly enforced. If someone missed an assignment, EVERYONE had to stay after school. There was one kid who never did his fucking homework, consequently he ended up getting beat up so much that his parents took him out of school. God only knows what the punishment for cheating was because everyone was so afraid of doing it they never tried.
