I find it silly that you're blaming school systems for promoting the innate sexual urges that teenagers have. The idea that we should have no sexual education in schools, especially nowadays, to help teens practice the sex that they're going to have anyway in the safest possible manner is just absurd to me.

I sincerely hope you aren't comparing the spread of HIV and AIDS in American teens with that of those in Africa. One of my best friends died of AIDS and I can't even entertain the idea of not giving teenagers the information on how to practice sex safely in order to avoid getting such a heinous disease. Should they abstain from sex altogether? That's not for me to say, though it is the best possible way to avoid getting diseases. But to *only* promote abstinence without giving them the necessary information on how to have safe sex if they're going to partake in it is irresponsible and unrealistic.
