Fla. Teens Believe Drinking Bleach Will Prevent HIV

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Florida teens who believe drinking a cap of bleach will prevent HIV and a shot of Mountain Dew will stop pregnancy have prompted lawmakers to push for an overhaul of sex education in the state.

Another myth is that Florida teens also believe that smoking marijuana will prevent a person from getting pregnant, Local 6 reported.

State lawmakers said the myths are spreading because of Florida's abstinence-only sex education, Local 6 reported.

They are proposing a bill that would require a more comprehensive approach, the report said.

It would still require teaching abstinence but students would also learn about condoms and other methods of birth control and disease prevention.

Wow, where do kids get these ideas? They don't have internet access in Florida?

 

hahaha Rod, who would have thought you would be first to post!!! Na man we do, i am not sure what this is about, but i heard it on the radio out here in Boise then found the write up.. i am not sure WTF is goin on?

 

They are obviously spending too much time getting high and downing shots of bleach and mountain dew, and not enough time in school.

 

Wow.. just wow lol.

 

bunch of dummys

 

When I saw the title of this thread, I saw 'FL teens think'.

I thought that was the punch-line. I've been born and raised here here and I can attest. Florida is home to some of the most incredibly stupid people people in the entire country, and I wouldn't be far off by saying the whole continent. After reading that article, anybody want to dispute that there is an education crisis in this country?

 

Is this for real?...

 

As a native Floridian, I feel I have to comment.

They do, but they don't know how to use it, except to tell each other about a new way of preventing AIDS with bleach, Mountain Dew, and weed.

Seriously, this is why abstinence-only education is a failure. The kids in my school weren't any smarter (this was in Georgia-just next door of course).

 

LOL they must be from plant city....LOL

 

hahaha, thats awesome

I was raised in the real bay area... Tampa bay!!! and i am still stunned... i couldnt believe, and i didnt when i heard it on Boise Radio, i figured it was some kinda joke, but then on the news... wow... Education really does suck.. lol

 

wow
