Here is the key part of the report IMO:

"The study found that 45 percent of students aged 13 to 19 already had an active sex life and that 60 to 70 percent had used condoms to protect against unwanted pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases like AIDS.

About 10 percent said they had sex without using a condom because they could not afford one, while 42 percent said they simply did not have one handy."

We can either get up on a stump and beat our chests about ideology or actually try to address the problem of teen pregnancy and STDs. No one is going to stop them from doing it, that's for sure.
