Abstinence-only education has been proven to have no effect on school students' celibacy rates.
In fact, most places with abstinence-only education have HIGHER rates of STDs and teen/unwanted pregnancy.
Abstinence as a message is fine, but it is more than foolish to teach it without proper sex education alongside, especially regarding contraception and disease-prevention.
