Education is essential.
In my time in the armed forces STDs were only contacted by, the 'commanding officer and the padre' they were allowed to catch it off a toilet seat or a towel, this was the sum total of the sex education in the armed forces.
Today sex education is the norm, but is it having any effect on the youth of today?, who quite rightly have their own views on the subject, and rightly so. There is no 'quick' fix to this problem, whilst society gives all and sundry various benefits,: large grants, access to the social services, top of the list for housing, the incentives to go astray are to large a temptation, and who can blame them!
