I read that in the areas of the US where they tried to go down the abstinence route, the kids had less sex, and waited longer before they slept with people (although I believe most didn't quite make it to marriage) but were ignorant on the facts of STDs so the levels stayed pretty much the same.
They need to find a sensible balance.
I'd be happier if the moral issue was something that was taught in the home, but that doesn't seem to be working.
