Evidently, our regional influences, religious upbringing, socio-economic statuses, and diverse exposure to media influenced how we each were exposed to sex. Growing up in Washington, a significantly liberal state, I had a much different education of sex than those here in Texas. Although, most of my group did, as none of us are originally

What would our society be like if we didn’t have sex education given to our youth to this day? If some of our public schools don’t ever teach young people about the right and wrong doings of sex or be given the information they need surely it would lead to problems. Teachers are given the great power to guide their students into a better direction by giving them the essential knowledge. Many young people don’t feel comfortable or might not possibly get the right facts from their parents. Some feel

Sexual Education in Schools By Katelin Garchow Professor Delong English 111 October 10, 2015 Sexual Education in Schools Sexual intercourse is considered to be between two people that love each other very much. It is romanticized in movies and books, and is alluded to everywhere. As the age for sexual experimentation grow lower many question whether or not have sexual education in our school systems.

Single-sex and co educators have different views on single-sex education; however, both agree that students can distract and influence each other. One way students influence each other is by competing for the opposite sex’ attention.
