Unlike the repetitiveness of abstinence-only education, abstinence- plus teaches students that engaging in sexual intercourse is a big decision, according to Wilson. Another key point that falls under this approach is that abstinence is the heathiest choice. And the third and final point Wilson states is, "that teens who engage in sexual intercourse must use birth control and condoms correctly" (73).

School sex education programs are not only responsible for providing information for high school students, but to also provide those students with knowledge that they can carry beyond their high school years. So, whether the student is currently engaging in sex or not, they are still being served an injustice by the educational system because at some point in their life, they probably will become sexual active.

Teens are at an awkward time in their life and take this as exposure as influence. Between the hormones, changes, and influences many are not sure what is going on or what sex is or what any concepts of sex are.
