This episode shows how teenagers across the country are being kept in the dark about vital information that would help them prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. In many abstinence-only-until-marriage programs, teenagers are told that birth control methods such as condoms do not work and that they will contract a deadly STD if they have sex outside marriage. Despite the fact that these programs have been proven ineffective, the federal government has spent more than a billion dollars on them since 1996.
