    It seems that Teen Pregnancy has become a trend. With television programs such as “16 and Pregnant” and films such as “The Pregnancy Pact”, sex is not as taboo a subject as it may have been decades ago. Teens are beginning to experiment with sexual activities at earlier ages. Sex education, normally taught in high school, comes in two different forms: abstinence-based sex education and comprehensive sex education. Abstinence sex education stresses the idea of waiting until marriage to become sexually active. Comprehensive sex education instructs students on the use of contraceptives such as condoms and birth control. Comprehensive sex education should be taught in schools because it informs students about possible contraceptives and abstinence, makes students aware of the consequences of unprotected sex, a reliable source of accurate information, and it is more effective in educating teens about sex.…

    The increase of teenage pregnancy has placed a burden upon the argument for non-abstinent-only education. As indicated by the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association, every year an estimated 850,000 teenagers become pregnant. These statistics also conclude that more than one-third of girls will become pregnant before the age of twenty, and that 78 percent of these pregnancies are unintended. Comprehensive sex education helps delay sexual intercourse between teens by offering them the tools they need to avoid unintended pregnancy.(Berne 91) “Research done by Douglas Kirby for the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy shows that programs that provide teenagers with comprehensive sex education that includes a discussion of…

    When I think of the word “sex” I think of intimacy, privacy, and discretion. For most teenagers sex is just what is popular at the time. They don’t understand that it is not like any other fad. Now that sex has become popular it is the parents’ job to do something to change it. Children are taught how to interact with others and the difference of what is right and wrong by their parents from birth. If parents don’t teach their kids that no amount of popularity is worth the burden of a child at a young age then no one will. In Anna Quindlen’s essay “Sex Ed” she sat with six 16 year old girls at a family planning clinic in New York, the girls knew a lot about sex but were also pregnant. Where were their parents? Schools are wasting their money on sex ed classes. Do you really want a stranger to teach your child about sex anyway? It is important for our children to be educated about sexuality, but it is not the schools’ place to teach it.…

    There are various struggles faced by the American people because of the mishaps of sex. Many religions and faiths indurate the task to teach the concepts of sexual conduct. Some feel it is of great importance to give sex education whereas others think it goes against common principles. However based on surveys many parents are very abstinent or too shy to talk with their children about sex education. One may argue that the sex revolution of 1960’s was very devastating, aggrandizing teen pregnancy and divorce rates and proliferating sexually transmitted diseases such as aids and herpes which have no cure. However it is also very important because it drew the attention of the authority’s and public towards the necessity of sex education. The opposing views says that giving kids information on birth control encourages them to have sex and abstaining is the only way to prevent teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Whether or not sex education should be permitted and will be beneficial is a question many are asking, but only few know the answer to.…

    Essentially, teens need to learn about sex at some point in their lives. The questions being debated remains whether information should come from their parent or from a qualified professional at school. Some parents feel as though they cannot approach their children about this topic, never mind teach them the details about sexual relationships, so they leave the task up to the schools and there is nothing wrong with that. Sex education should be taught in high schools, as well as in the earlier years of education. Sex education can teach people of all ages the consequences and responsibilities of engaging in sexual activities.…

    Education is a key element in the life of an adolescent; it is the factor that establishes their future. While reading, writing, and arithmetic are the spotlights of our education system today, sex education is just as large of a part. Sex education is not only what establishes our awareness of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), but also another life changing event - teen pregnancy. What if there was something someone could do to help prevent these two undesired events? There is, the education system of America can be forthright and give students a broader knowledge of sex education.…

    Aida Orgocka (2004) states that there is one in five children in the US that live in an immigrant household, and they face a lot of challenges in obtaining information about sexuality. Aida investigated how the interaction between Muslim immigrant mothers and their daughters shaped the daughters’ decisions about sexual conduct. She states that Muslim mothers are considered responsible for girls’ sexual conduct, discussion of issues related to sexuality takes the form of moral interdiction and limits on outside influences, including SBSE programs. Aida found that while SBSE classes were informative, they marginalized Muslim immigrants girls’ decisions and experiences to not engage in premarital sex by assuming that most adolescents engage in sex. She believes that although, SBSE may be attempting to address the various needs of immigrant youths, findings indicated that they have not yet adequately reached the Muslim community.…

    Statistics have shown that more than 50% of American teenagers lose their virginity before the age of seventeen and only 7% of American parents accept the concept of sex education in schools without a problem. On the other hand, most of remaining 93% of the parent population consider it a restricted and too “mature” of a topic to be discussing with their children. However, according to Buzzle, an online blog, it is not the presence of sex education in schools, but its absence that has made teen pregnancy increase to such a high level today.2 Buzzle believes that most of the schools that do provide sex education have an “abstinence is the best solution” approach to it. Abstinence is the only form of birth control that is 100% effective against both pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. It is the practice of refraining from one or all aspects of sexual activity for medical, psychological, social, legal, philosophical or religious reasons. The concept of abstinence, conveyed by sex education classes, works well with students because we all believe that prevention…

    Today many parents would not disagree with a sex education course in their child’s curriculum in school. A study done on if sex education should be taught in schools, only seven percent of Americans said that sex education should not be discussed in school ("Sex education in," 2004). The role of educators can be very important in giving information about abstinence, safe sex, or the combination. Millions of dollars over the years have been given to abstinence programs, but sexual activity, sexually transmitted diseases, and pregnancies seem to be increasing in teenagers (Banks, 2010). The main goal in teaching sex education in middle schools would be to explain thoroughly the heath risks involved, how to resist peer pressure, and safe sex.…

    "Sex Education: Should Condoms be distributed in Schools?" was very eye catching to the reader. The author of this essay Rush H. Limbaugh III, points out a lot of good points here which I highly agree with. Sex education can be very tricky, what are its limitations? What should the students be taught and what shouldn't they be taught? If my memory serves me right, I don't remember ever receiving any condoms from any schools I attended. From what I recall from my sex education class, it was clear that abstinence was the right way to go. We were all well informed of the consequences of having unprotected sex and protected sex for that matter. And for most of us who hadn't had sex yet, the videos that were shown in class were good enough to ensure us that abstinence was the way we were going. But for those schools that are issuing out condoms in sex education class, should that be allowed? I think that giving away condoms in sex education classes should not be allowed for several reasons. It pressures students into having sex. It makes students believe that having sex will be ok because they now have condoms to protect themselves from any diseases out there. And let's not forget about getting pregnant.…

    My second point is that sex education should be taught properly by a teacher or that teenagers should be made to take a course which explains all the aspects of sex and pregnancy. Research tells that a large number of teenagers do not know how reproduction works or even know what is going on in their bodies. Although teachers are meant to teach this, a lot of teenagers will not understand or may just dismiss the matter and will learn from television or other teenagers and may be misled in to believing certain things about the matter e.g. The hit television soap ? Coronation Street? had a story line involving a teenage girl who got pregnant and her life turned out fine with no disadvantages.…

    Furthermore, educating teenagers about this issue is a prominent role in abolishing the abandoning of babies in Malaysia. Through talks, seminars and workshop we can instill a sense of responsibility and awareness to teenagers. This way we can emphasize them to avoid free sex which is both harmful and immoral. Free sex is dangerous as it can spread diseases to both individuals such as HIV and AIDS. We should also educate them about the hefty punishment on abandoning babies and having free sex in this country. By doing this, hopefully we can make them think not twice but ten times before doing any of these. Keeping a healthy life is also vital in…

    Most of the time, Malaysian parents are shun about speaking to their children about sex and sexuality because they think that the topics are out of bond to the young people. But teenagers they are very curious about the relationship and emotions to the other gender. So, they tend to find the information from peers, internet, movies and magazines that are over romanticized and scetchy at best. This mostly led them to commit adultery and ended with unwanted pregnancy. So, as the nearest person to the teenagers, parent should give them full attention to their children by providing them education and guidance while encouraging them to share their mind and thought so that they will have more knowledge in helping them making appopriate decision later on. This also will prevent htem from having access to such material online. This without realise give them false idea about sex.…
