The fact that most people get two faced when you bring that up is hilarious. The government doesn't let you sell your vital organs just because you want to, why should they let you do other random stuff to your body..

PS I never got the talk, yet somehow I know more about sex than anybody else in my grade... I'm a wealth of sexual knowledge... but the sex-ed program in our school did absolutely nothing... I was in the back of the class loudly disagreeing with the stupid movies and actually giving evidence and sources of my arguments... Let us just say that the teacher got very annoyed.

Ok, look, It's your right to do with your body as you wish.
HOWEVER! you should (must) consider how what you do with your body affects the people around you.

For instance: Prostitution.
Prostitution is bad merely from a health standpoint, as prostitutes don't demand that you get tested before you sleep with them, and I highly doubt that you make the prostitute get tested. Therefore, Prostitution=Bad, as one prostitute can infect hundreds of horny, lonely men.

Suicide: Bad
When you kill yourself, it affects everyone you're close too, because you've taken away YOU from them. 'Nuff said.

Basically, the examples you've used are bad merely if you use common sense, and don't need any other reason.

If everyone went through life more concerned with how what they did affected the people around them, the world would be a better place.

And sex ed has always been a waste of time, since adults seem to be uncomfortable talking to kids about anything serious, and kids are uncomfortable talking to adults about anything serious.

Personally, I think there should be a website with anonymous posting, and live anonymous chat about Sexual Questions that is posted in the Health/Phy Ed rooms in every school, so that kids can get the answers they need whenever they need them. (Hell, I might go make it if anyone else thinks its a good idea.)

Or parents need to suck it up and be there for their kids, but that wont happen. (At least, not 100% of the time.)
