Well, this shouldn't surprise anyone:
The Internet apparently is a key source of sex education — and miseducation — for U.S. teenagers. About half of teens go online for health information, and they have more questions about sex than they do about any other topic, researchers reported at the American Academy of Pediatrics meeting here last week.
The medical director of one teen-health website notes that the questions from many parents are just as clueless as those from teenagers. In related news, Lee at RTftLC links to another article (though his link is broken) about a school that has said to heck with federal funding for abstinence-only sex ed classes. He's in favor of teachers, rather than a computer, educating kids about sex ed, whereas I'm not so sure.
