Sex Education
I believe that sex education should be taught is public schools. Many students in public schools do not have accurate information regarding sex. There is so much misinformation out there. Kids are getting information from friends, tv, and the internet. These are not necessarily credible sources. Some may be, but most are not. Lets face it, many kids and teens are going to have sex if they really want. If they were educated about the risks and conseqences of sex, then they may choose to wait. If they do not choose to wait, they may make better decisions such as using a condom or birth control. Many of these kids do not know about the risks of sexual activity. I think that if they did, there may be a decrease in sexually transmitted diseases and teen pregnancies in public schools.

I totally agree. I believe that if they want to have sex, they are going to. If they were aware of some of the negatives of teen sex then they may decide to make better decisions regarding protection and things of tha nature.
ReplyDeleteI like that you highlighted the misinformation that is out in the media on tv, movies, and internet. It is sad to sit back and notice how much sex is encouraged in daily life. I believe the teaching of abstinence should be just a prominent. I think that media has the potential to be a positive influence, but sadly right now it isn't. I would love to see high school health classes show films that teach abstinence in an truthful yet genuine way.
