I think the problem (well, one of the problems) is that a lot of teens *do* seem to be very naive sexually. The UK has a stupidly high teen pregnancy rate.
And that all surely comes down to sex education. Education from their parents. Education at school. Education that sadly seems to be lacking.
Kids need to be properly taught about sex, & contraception, & so on. And they need to be taught the *consequences* of having unprotected sex.
Just telling them not to have sex surely won't prepare them at all, as, studies have shown, they'll just end up doing it anyway, & will know even less about it if they've been on abstinence programmes.
