What the...? Teenagers still lacking awareness in Contraception?

How can this be? Sex education has been taught in schools for 8 years and our teenagers are still ignorant of contraception! Bathing, exercising, urinating after sex will prevent pregnancies?!!
1 in 4 youths are engaging in sexual activities but half are not using contraceptives....this is getting bad to worse......Although the government is encouraging more babies but this is not the way....
That is why i always think that teenagers eventually are teenagers....they will always need guidance and help along the way....Their mindset is wrong, they're always thinking that they can be out on their own, they're always thinking that they have freedom and rights to do whatever they want....
That was what i thought when i was a teenager.....
The problem is, as a teenager, whether you like it or not, their experience in life is insufficient for them to "venture" out....still vulnerable to the vultures of the society....Parents know, and will always know best...Parents will know what's best for their kids...
This is contradictary to what the teenagers think...In their teens, friends are more important than family. Check with any teen, they would want to spend time with friends rather than parents? Parents and home comes to mind only when the real problem comes..when no friends want to help them.....how can the friends help them? the friends are teenagers themselves....
Anwyay, this are just my thoughts and i've sidetracked away from the topic......
