High School Advocates Abstinence, Faces Major Chlamydia Outbreak

So, check this out: if 1 in 15 students at a high school are diagnosed with chlamydia, you can bet that a lot more are likely engaging in sexual activity. It’s just simple math! Regardless of what parents or lawmakers might believe, teens are going to have sex. As role models, it’s crucial for teachers and parents to guide them on how to approach it safely. If they aren’t getting the right info from us, they’ll find it elsewhere—possibly from misleading sources like porn.

The confusion surrounding what constitutes “sex” among teens claiming to be “abstinent” might be making things worse. Chlamydia can spread through oral and anal sex, which some teens consider not to be “real” sex, allowing them to hang onto their virginity label while still being sexually active. And if that sounds wild, think about this: a whole high school is skipping sex ed classes but is still notifying parents about a chlamydia outbreak.

It’s a bit of a mess, isn’t it? If you want to explore more about responsible practices, check out this post on at-home insemination kits. And if you’re curious about the options for fertility treatments, WebMD has some great insights worth reading.

In a nutshell, it’s clear that open conversations about sexual health and education are more important than ever, especially in environments where abstinence is the only message being communicated without the necessary context.
