Sex education: A lesson for in or out of the classroom?
Lawmakers, school officials divided on proposed bill
Kristen Phillips says her sex education came from the real world, not the classroom.
By the time she got abstinence-based education at school, she already was a mother.
Phillips, 19, had her son, Elijah, when she was 17 and a junior at Petal High School.
She said she got pregnant because she didn’t know the effectiveness of her birth control pill could be decreased by taking antibiotics.
