For the study, released Monday in Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, researchers followed sixth and seventh graders in separate groups.
In one, the focus was abstinence; in the other, they taught contraception and safe sex.
Two years later, they talked to the kids again.

Half the students learning about safe sex were now having sex, while only a third in the group focused on abstinence were engaged in sex.
This study refers to a more consequences based form of 'abstinence only' education, but the results are still staggering.
