A Christian education makes teenage boys less permissive, according to research out today.So education was the answer all along -- a Christian education!
Boys at private Anglican and Catholic schools are more likely to oppose sex before marriage and be less tolerant of pornography.
They are also less likely to feel depressed or consider suicide, according to a survey of 13,000 teenagers by Professor Leslie J Francis from the University of Wales, Bangor.

AMAZING!!!
And do you think their lack of depression is linked to this too? To think that being taught that there is someone higher than you, to whom you are accountable could have a positive impact on a life! This is the exact opposite of our society's teaching that "if it feels good...." and "to your own self be true".
yeah- here's my theory- if parents will teach their own children these things, and that there is no shame in upholding these standards, it might not matter WHERE they go to school- i think it is a combination of education and positive re-enforcement- it's when we leave kids to figure it out themselves, or give them rules with no explanation or dicussion or openness to talk about things that confuse them that they are more likely to want to learn from experience...just my thoughts...;-)
And good thoughts they are! Thanks
