I will say that we did have sex ed class when I was in high school and the line " You are responsible for your sexual health" is the one thing that stuck with me from that course.
I'm not sure, but I suspect that a fairly small percentage of those young people you see are googling 'How To Prevent Chlamydia' or 'Low Cost Birth Control Near Me'. The availability of the information is only part of it - the other part is making sure the information gets to the kids. So, like I said - classrooms.
I think the best thing a teen could do after being told 'You are responsible for your sexual health' would be to ask, 'How do I do that, exactly?'

Also a good point, im sure they arent walking around googling that stuff. I guess my only point was if they want the information it is available.
