Introduction
Today’s generation of young people is the largest in history- nearly half of the world’s population, some three billion people, is under the age of twenty five. (http://www.globalhealthmagazine.com/guest_blog/mdg_5_3_billion/). This large demographic of young people presents the world with an unprecedented opportunity to accelerate economic development and reduce poverty. However, to achieve this, young people in developing countries with knowledge to adopt healthy sexual and reproductive behaviors, enabling them to confront challenges such as HIV, sexually transmitted infections, and unintended or mistimed pregnancy, as well as improve their overall well-being and contribute to their communities.

The bill is national in scope, comprehensive, rights-based and provides adequate funding to the population program. It is a departure from the present setup in which the provision for reproductive health services is devolved to local government units, and consequently, subjected to the varying strategies of local government executives and suffers from a dearth of funding. The reproductive health (RH) bill promotes information on and access to both natural and modern family planning methods, which are medically safe and legally permissible. It assures an enabling environment where women and couples have the freedom of informed choice on the mode of family planning they want to adopt based on their needs, personal convictions and religious beliefs.

This research aims to the level of compliance of gatekeepers of Hope Christian School on the reproductive health education. This study will have the first and second year high school students of Hope

    These educative programs need to be implemented in the school system. Each semester, there should be one required sex education assembly to make kids aware of the consequences of unsafe sex and the difficulty of unplanned pregnancy. They would be educated on how girls get pregnant, what happens to the girl’s body during and after pregnancy, and the risks that pregnancy may entail such as STD’s, HIV and AIDS. They would also need to be educated on estimated costs of having a baby and the amount of time required when taking responsibility of having a child. Then, if the youth are…

    Sex Education Dbq

    Sex instruction is critical, however numerous amounts of students complete sex education classes with a mutilated perspective of sexuality and without a decent comprehension of contraception and safe-sex practices. Schools without sex education, leave children confused and often misguided. Students are left to learn through their parents about sex, who could, in turn, be misinformed themselves by never having taken a course in sexual education. Without sexual education classes, little is accomplished leaving a defective and contorted, one-sided point of view of safe sex such as abstinence. The lack of knowledge also can lead to an increase in teen pregnancy, and the spread of sexually transmitted disease, Sexual education should be taught to…

    Reproductive Rights In The United States

    There are two broad techniques used to provide sex education, comprehensive sex education and abstinence based sex education (Mezey, 2011). The abstinence-based avenue explains to children that it is morally wrong to have sex prior to a heterosexual marriage, which leads to many problems such as higher rates of unplanned pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and a lack of knowledge on all subjects related to sex and healthy relationships (2011). This is especially true amongst LGBTQIA+ and people with disabilities because they are left to find out sex and sexually related experiences through trial and error, and the Internet. Comprehensive sex education on the other hand, is when students are presented with every possible contraceptive option, their benefits and risks, statistical safety from preventing pregnancy and STDs/STIs (2011). Students also learn about what a healthy relationship is and how to effectively communicate their wants, needs, and limits in a sexual relationship. Comprehensive sex education is essential for students to grow into functioning adults, and thus participating members of a democracy (2011). Historically, sex education was not viewed as a necessary aspect for students until the 1960s and the demand for evidence-based education began in 1964. During this time period, Planned Parenthood established the Sexuality Information Education Council of the United States (SIECUS) to effectively education the younger population on sex and sexuality (2011). SIECUS founded the National Guidelines Task Force in 1990 who’s mission was to make sex education a promotion of sexual health and providing a positive view on sex, in comparison to the immoral view that abstinence-based sex education provided…

    Birth Control Should Be Made Available In Public High Schools

    According to scholars, most teenagers are aware of the risks of engaging in sexual activity such as getting a sexually transmitted diseases and/or becoming pregnant (DiSabito, 2014). Even though they know the risks, many will still have unprotected sex. For some teenagers, the choice to have unprotected sex comes from a lack of caring. In some instances, the personal fable comes into play and teenagers think that nothing can happen to them so they don’t bother using protection (Rathus, 2014). However, in other cases, teenagers don’t use birth control because they don’t have easy access to it (DiSabito, 2014). They may want to use it, but don’t know how to get it. High schools seem like a logical place to provide birth control to…

    Comprehensive Sex Education: the Most Effective Way to Prevent Teen Pregnancy

    Americans are affected everyday by unplanned pregnancies. “Every year 400,000 babies are born to girls younger than age 19” (Foreman 26). There is no arguing that the teen unplanned pregnancy rate is high and according to The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, the American rate is still the highest in the industrialized world. The argument comes with what approach should be taken to reduce that rate. Two major approaches are abstinence only education and a more comprehensive approach that is all-encompassing. Abstinence-only education is usually provided by school based curriculum and it sometimes begins as early as age 10. The main component of these programs are just what the title says, abstinence only. We can all agree that abstinence is the only 100% way to prevent pregnancy, but a comprehensive approach teaches youth the importance of responsible sexual behavior, the selection of appropriate birth control, and aids in the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. Offering a multi-faceted approach, medically correct information, a birth control network, and disease prevention, the comprehensive approach to sex education has been proven to be the most effective way to reduce teen unplanned pregnancies.…

    Persuasive Essay On Abstinence-Only Sex Education

    “Am I going to die” are the words that whispered out this fragile seventeen-year-old boy while tears continuously poured down his face as he tried to find the words to tell us what was wrong. He had just found out that he was HIV positive and was terrified that he would never get to experience life in adulthood, yet alone the rest of adolescence. He, like most teens, heard about HIV, but did not believe that it would happen to him because he was not gay or a drug user. Just like many adolescents, he believed that he was invincible when it came to having unsafe sex. But sadly, he is just one out of the 12,000 teens that will contract HIV this year (CDC). Nobody wishes this kind of pain or suffering on our adolescents, yet in the United States we are failing our youth for many adolescents do not understand how they can get an STD or even how they can become pregnant by adulthood. Because STDs and unwanted pregnancy are still at astonishingly high numbers, the goal now needs to be finding programs that are effective at lowering both of these problems that plague adolescents. Therefore, a comprehensive program that teaches teens all of the necessary skills to have a…
