Peer pressure influence teenagers by having sex drinking and smoking. And even forcing someone to do something they do not want to do. I think Laurie Halse Anderson the author of “Speak” is saying about peer pressure is that everyone makes mistakes.So dont judge others by there past and neither bullying them or even calling poeple names or talking behind the persons back .Beacuse you dont know what that person has gone through. How is Melinda Sordino influenced by peer pressure Melinda…
teenagers have lack of attention and love from parents and try to find it with somebody else. Society and media also have an impact on the fact that teen pregnancies happen. The group that teenager is friend with might influence their decision to have sex even if the teen is not ready, but in order to look “cool” teens do that, and as a consequence get pregnant. Moreover, because of some TV shows that glamourize teen pregnancy, it is becoming to acceptable and it makes teens to want to become…

In the article “ The World’s Problem with Sex Ed,” Jonathan Zimmerman argues that we can and should take sex ed out of schools in response to the concerns of religious minorities, since the information about sex is available online and sex ed classes in schools do not show any effectiveness in preventing pregnancies. Zimmerman states that “in 2009, when Unesco released sex-ed guidelines that included information on masturbation and contraception, American conservatives called them culturally…
Which bathroom will I use today? Which lockerroom will I change in? What team will I play on? For many of us, myself included, we do not have to think about these questions on a daily basis. But for transgenders, these are everyday questions they have to ask themselves. In my opinion, one of the greatest challenges my generation will have to deal with is transgender rights. I think that transgender rights are the civil rights issues of today’s society. One of the biggest problems many schools…
through sex when he craves love. Thus, I conclude that S. flirts with me to seduce me into loving him, and awarding him what he desperately seeks but cannot ask for directly as it would make him too vulnerable to rejection. There’s a little boy in there that needs a mother’s love rather than an adult who wants sex. What about my countertransference? I find his masculinity arousing: his shoulders, his muscles, his bulk and power. Like Benjamin, Hargaden and Sills write about the importance of the…
Imagine having to jump through various hoops just to secure any form of contraception that will help you not get pregnant without the intention. For decades, women have been doing just that in order to get something that should be an automatic right.

Back in 1933, during the early stages of birth control this exact issue was being…
lastly, attention-grabbing. When one is in poverty, they do the get the same education as those living in a society with money, “In low-and middle-income countries, is the leading cause of death for young women ages 15-19; half a million women worldwide die…teens are twice as likely to die in childbirth as women over twenty” (Teen Pregnancy Prevention). Because many low class people are poor, they do not gain the education needed not only to raise a child but also learn how to prevent…
Abstinence-only sex education is characterized by “the withholding of information and is ethically flawed” (source 3). This method relies on emotional appeals, enforcing “traditional” values and norms, inflicting fear of STDs, and utilizing what the author of the article Teen Pregnancy and Parenting considers “scientifically incorrect information.” Abstinence-only sex education teaches only three main concepts: 1) waiting until marriage to partake in sexual activity as the expected standard, 2)…
(Washington Post). So the question still remains, if shows like “Teen Mom” can drop conception rate by 5.7% in the first 18 months (CNN.com) what could sexual education in public schools…
