I'm with Kronas, education is the key, I don't think there's anything wrong with teenagers being sexually active, the dangers are that a lot seem to take too many risks (in the physical and emotional sense) and I'd like to see better sex ed. My own sex ed in school as far as I can remember it (about 10 years ago now) was pretty confused because no-one wants to deal with such a taboo subject.

They might be advocating a good-level of protection against STD's, but then it's on about the same level as 'lock yourself away in a room and you won't get hit by a car'. From my point of view it's not dealing with the problem, it's instead trying to stop the problem existing.
