Some people do get taught that, whether by teachers, parents, or doctors/nurses, and then they teach others because they realize that nothing that anyone does is ever going to stop all teens from having premarital sex, so we might as well make sure they're able to do so safely when they do it. If they're not armed with the right info, they can't be safe. Not teaching them how to have safe sex isn't gonna prevent them from trying to exercise it. It's just gonna lead to them exercising it wrongly and getting someone or themselves pregnant, or worse, getting themselves an STI. (Sexually Transmitted Infection. Apparently, we're calling them infections now, instead of diseases.)
