Sex education is essential to the younger generation in keeping them aware of the risks following sexual activities. While teaching sex education to children has diminished over the years, in actuality, society finds this as an arguable debate on whether it should or should not be taught in schools. Many people feel that morals are lowered when the use of condoms and anti-fertility are introduced in schools. Parents sense that this form of education urges adolescents to experiment instead of…

Abstinence-Only Sex Education Everyone remembers that one-day in middle school when you had to sit through the embarrassing abstinence education talk. The dreaded abstinence only education programs are all about doing whatever possible to abstain from sex. They don’t have to teach about STD’s or the possible outcomes if you do choose to have sex. A larger majority of states in the US don’t require the information be medically accurate when given to students. The truth is teens will do what they…

student needs to be taught the importance of safe sex. Without the proper education of sex education there are risks. In an article written by Dennis Prager ” A Speech Every American High School Principal Should give“ he states that “No more semesters will be devoted to condom wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as a primarily health issue”.

With abstinence-based programs there is no decrease in the amount of sexual activity that students are engaging in and…

Despite the lack of funding for comprehensive sex education in the United States, there has been much support for it because it would provide exclusivity within health courses in middle and high schools.

By addressing the universality of students and…

people cannot determine which option will bring the most benefits to the students. Abstinence-only education focuses on teaching students how to abstain from any type of sexual activity until after marriage. However, sex education courses focus on teaching the students how to use different contraceptive methods to protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections and diseases. Both methods of education teach students positive ways to deal with sexual intercourse, but no one can seem to…

“Don 't have sex, you will get pregnant and die!”, a well-known quote from the film comedy Mean Girls. While this quote is quite humorous, it is misleading and like many sex education courses provides an unclear message to adolescents.

The way sex is massively shown in society today will not change; therefore, the form of sex education in schools must change. A…
