FOREST HILLS - Not only is lack of sex education a problem for high school students in Hillsborough County, said members of Teen Source Theatre, but also misinformation.
Source teens say a few popular myths include: Only gay people can get AIDS; pregnancy can be prevented if sex occurs in a swimming pool; and condoms don't work.
Blake High School junior Emily Compton, a three-year Source member, said staff at her school do not talk about the merits of condom use, only the contraceptive's failure rate.
