Sounds like a dictatorship.
Sounds like a successful private school with high results.

And most parents wouldn't go. Part of being ignorant is not knowing, and the other part is not knowing that you don't know.
But you turned out gay.
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.
I took dual credit college courses in high school instead of ap stuff. Having credits meant more than getting to skip things.
that sounds exceptionally uptight and boring
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.
Drinking and smoking underage is illegal, not immoral. Marriage is illegal under certain ages (depending on district), and like NOM says, marriage is paramount for procreation. Then it should be concluded sexual conduct with the possibility of procreation should be discouraged until the legal age of marriage or sexual consent. There are state education standardized tests that are required to pass. This is a legal standing, not moral.
Nope. I am quite ok with that, until I am 18. that's the attitude I had anyway; buckle down on studying so that when I hit 18 I have a better chance of continuing my education and doing something I want to do but until then follow all of the rules put forth by parents and faculty and law enforcement.

Probably, but effective. I mean just look at how I turned out?
This is what I mean by vanilla. That attitude makes me giggle. I don't see getting drunk and having sex and smoking and all as immoral. I see it as fun and I don't think public schools have any business deciding what I do with my own body or making an example of me for it.
No, but your parents should, until you hit 18, and that is where this control should belong.
No. I'd just go all muslim and Honor Kill her....
But, in all seriousness, corporal punishment wouldn't work past a certain age, so I can't see employing that. If your going crazy at 16, it's got a basis for parenting choices in the early years.
Unless it's some kind of chemical imbalance thing.
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.If you were raised in an education system that eschewed drinking and smoking with the veal mind did and rather promoted their education courses in the same way universities did, you would have second thoughts about engaging in such activities. My school reinforced the importance of studying and preparing you for life in the future more strongly than the incentives drinking or drug taking or being promiscuous did.
That's not to say things didn't happen, but they were so strongly discouraged, people were looked down upon by other fellow students for being involved in such actions. It was peer pressure to do the good things, not bad.
