What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I evaluate pre and post test data for an abstinence based program funded by a federal grant. We work with approximately 5000 middle and high school students each year. During the past two years, no false or misleading information about contraception has been given to this population. We have met or exceeded the grant goals.

I attended an abstinance-based class during middle school, and I can confirm that contraception information was never inaccurate. STDs and pregnancy are serious afflictions. Nobody is promoting STDs or pregnancy, so all of these agencies (even though they seem to be bickering) all share a common enemy.
William Smith, from the Sexuality Information and Education Council mentions "abstinance-only-until-marriage programs". Now, here, I have no idea what William Smith is talking about. We had abstinance education. But at no point, was marriage used as an excuse to end abstinance. In fact, abstinance is the greater good. If you had a choice between marriage and abstinance, abstinance is safer: because there is no risk of STDs and pregnancy.
My aunt said because of how mental maturity in humans works, it's common for most people to wait until age 30 before considering engaging in sexual relations. Although, I am a fan of my aunt, I think government science has the upper hand: Age 30 is way too early to be getting married or having sex.
Just my two cents.

Let me start over:
I attended an abstinance-based class during middle school, and I can confirm that contraception information was never inaccurate.
The problem I had was that they never told us what was good about sex. Why would anyone want to have it in the first place? And if there are good things about sex, then are there enough good things to ever outweigh the bad things?
