Absolutely. My kids go to a Catholic school, where abstinence is the only form of birth control taught. But these are teenagers, and they are just as horny no matter their religious denomination. I will be telling my kids that we prefer they abstain, but they are old enough that they make their own choices. If they choose to have sex, they damn well better use protection.

Telling a teenager that they can't do something because you said so is a tried and true path to failure. My parents took that approach to drinking with me, it didn't work out so well.....
