Sexual acts between unmarried couples have drastically increased in our modern society, leaving us vulnerable to all kinds of diseases, among other things. The only way to stop this, is by teaching abstinence in schools. Sex education in schools should only teach abstinence to students, because doing so would prevent unwanted pregnancy, reduce sexually transmitted diseases, and teach student to have strong convictions and moral values. The first reason sex education in schools should only teach abstinence is to prevent any form of unwanted pregnancy.

On average, at least twenty four American’s get infected with the virus HIV/Aids, and other related sex diseases within 24 hours, and American teens acquire sexually Transmitted Diseases at a faster rate than any other age group in U.S. (Stokely and Maureen). Though some teenagers are aware of this, they still choose to risk their life for it; depending on contraceptives. Looking at the society today, one can say anti-abstinence supporters believe contraceptive like condoms, pills, and birth control can help prevent sexually transmitted diseases, that is not true. A study performed by Marc Barnes (an English major and a blogger) to lead the revolution against artificial contraception found out that condoms haven’t decreased the spread of HIV, pills increase risk of breast cancer; and contraceptives kill sex drive (Goodwine). These are obscure facts; with the hope to save sex until marriage, and hopefully reduce, and if possible eliminate the increasing rate of sexually transmitted diseases. According to an article, virtually three out of four cases of HIV/AIDS worldwide (seventy-five percent) are caused by heterosexual (man & woman) sexual contact.

Parents, and not only religious parents used to educate their kids by instilling a sense of shame in their children when caught doing something unpleasant; in this case sex (Berns). Teenage sexual urges will eventually decrease, perhaps controlled, but that is only possible if students are being taught abstinence in schools, and therefore, reinforcing the shame and conviction of their parent’s teaching.

That is not true, and shouldn’t at all be considered morality. Recent studies have shown that the first thought that comes to a mentally healthy human when he/she sees a teenager, or an unmarried person having an affair is moral values. In other words, the first thought that strikes the mind is should; this be happening regardless if it is legal or not? Though, there has been some controversy about the study, it is still accepted in the medical society. Besides the scientific studies, religious teachings, mainly Christianity lay down the one flesh rule, saying sex should only occur between a man and a woman as an expression of unity between them, which clearly shows morality (Goodwine). Knowing this, it is ideal to say teenagers engaging in Pre-marital
