Wow--I've never heard this data point about boys' relationships (or lack thereof) with their mothers affect their sexual behavior. Freud tried to tell us! What responsibility to our sons this places on us mothers. Yikes. As a mother of two boys, you’re scaring me!

Dos: So... um... does that mean I fail? It just made me feel so false to back the other side. Especially when I don't see their point.

But, you haven't made an argument contrary to your last position. You've only shared a few points he makes. This exercise aims to have you craft an argument that asserts a position opposite (or at least different) from the one you last took. Remember: you're to use evidence from two different sources to back your claim. ok–so you give me some points Rector (we won’t talk of the irony of that name considering your topic:]) makes in favor of abstinence-only ed.

I'm not quite following you. Using your driver's ed example: Just because you take a driver's ed course doesn't mean you aren't going to have an accident. Using this analogy, teaching abstinence only sex is like teaching driver's ed without including information like how to wear a seat belt or what do do if you do get into an accident. But I'm not sure how effective this analogy is. …what? I’m not quite following you.

Just wondering--was the abstinence-only education the single factor to the rise? Does teens admitting to have sex equate a failure in abstinence-only education? Might that be like a teen who's taken driver's ed having a car wreck and saying the driver's ed course is a complete failure?
