The Benefits Of Teaching Sex Education In Public Schools

There is a strong need for greater access to current and evidence-based sex education in American public schools. Concurrent with access to information and education about human sexuality, schools should also be offering students safe, anonymous ways of receiving condoms. Condoms are crucial for preventing unwanted pregnancy: and it can easily be said that all teen pregnancies in the United States will be classified as unwanted. Moreover, condoms will prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. When they are used properly, condoms can become lifesavers. However, adolescents are often woefully ignorant about when and how to use condoms. Few adolescents in the United States have ready access to condoms, either at home or in schools. Because of the general prudishness embedded in Bible Belt America, states like Georgia must take a strong stance on the issue. Georgia should follow suit with states like Massachusetts, who have implemented successful condom distribution programs in their schools.

In the United States, many teens are uneducated about sex because it is a very taboo subject.

When children reach adolescence, they begin wondering about things outside their normalcy. One of these things, they begin to wonder about is sexual activity. While answering the questions, they have been critical, teaching them about STI's, and how their bodies change is also crucial. Who should be teaching our adolescent children about these topics, has been a debate since the 1980's. With our current society so wrapped up in sex, and our children seeing more and more of it each day, who should teach our children sexual education? and what should they be taught?

In the United States, many teens are uneducated about sex. It has been a very taboo subject due to not being normalized in our society. Sex has been around since the beginning of humans and animals. It is the utmost natural part of life. It's the reason everybody is on the Earth. It should not be kept a secret from students. Comprehensive sex education should be taught in public schools because people need to know about their bodies, how to protect themselves during intercourse, and it is the best way to educate teens about sex.

Comprehensive sex education gives people the knowledge to make responsible choices about sexual relationships. It consists of age appropriate, medically accurate content about sex, puberty, contraceptive use, and human development. In many forms, it can be categorized as a helpful way to teach young children about choices they can take in order to prevent many sexually transmitted diseases, teenage unwanted pregnancy, and delay sexual intercourse. On the dark side, comprehensive sex education can arise many controversies and disagreements between people with distinct cultural and religious views, and the person that should take responsibility in teaching young people. In this paper I will discuss the positive and negative sides on teaching comprehensive sex education in schools.

In the Gazette’s article on sex education in schools, the writer explains how schools should go in depth to explain sex education and not just talk about one thing but about everything. Many schools just teach the basics of sex education and some of the cautions and then never speak of it again. Schools should inform the students more facts or how having a child at a young age will affect their entire life even if they decide to keep the baby or abort it. Sex should be an important topic to discuss in schools because the students are young and want to experiment to be “cool” without knowing the risks.

There have been many debates surrounding the proposition to teach safe sex and sexual health in schools. It is a topic that many people have very strong beliefs and opinions on, and with an increasingly liberal, open minded society there has been a large push towards incorporating safe sex in schools and educating students on what safe sex is and how it can be done. A large number of studies that have shown abstinence-only policies are ineffective at preventing pregnancy and the transmission of STDs, however many people still hold onto the belief that when talking about sex in schools we should be teaching abstinence-only because the only way to prevent pregnancy and STDs is if you do not have sex at all and teaching about safe sex conflicts with many student’s religious beliefs. People who believe in abstinence only policies, or no sexual education at all, also hold onto the belief that teaching safe sex education in schools will cause students to experiment and have sex, whereas if they were not exposed to the discussion of sex in school, they would remain abstinent. While abstinence is truly the only 100% effective means to not getting an STD or pregnant, it is highly ineffective and doing our students more harm than good.

Sex education is on issues identifying with human sexuality, including human sexual life systems, sexual propagation, sexual action, regenerative wellbeing, passionate relations, conceptive rights and obligations, sexual restraint, and contraception. Numerous gatherings of individuals accept that in terms of sex education, the cons exceed the pros, for one extremely straightforward reason. They accept, without question, that their children ought not to be presented to something as unrefined as sex, in their school days on the grounds that their religion does not allow it. It goes against their religious convictions and suppositions, and they don't acknowledge it, on standard. Normal methods for sex education are parents or guardians, formal school projects, and public wellbeing crusades. Generally, teenagers in numerous societies were not given any data on sexual matters, with examination of these issues being viewed as unthinkable. Such direction as was given was customarily left to a youngster's parents, and frequently this was put off until just before a kid's marriage. In this paper I will examine the sex education in the public

Sexual education in public schools has many benefits. This is of course if every public school would be willing to provide their students with the opportunity to be able to take this class. Therefore I believe that some sort of sexual education class should be provided to all high school students in public schools.

As children grow, they accumulate knowledge over the years about a variety of subjects to prepare them for the future. Children learn from parents, schools, life experiences, what they watch and other influences around them, and it can be either positive learning or negative learning. There is one subject that is difficult to teach and have control over because of misunderstandings, lack of teaching, and publicity. Sex education has been a major debate for children under eighteen, because there are some parents that want it taught in schools and others that do not because of different reasons. There are currently eighteen states and the District of Columbia that require schools to provide sex education and thirty-two that do not require

Picture a young couple being on the verge of exploring their sexual desires for the first time. The question is does this young couple have the proper education to make this life changing decision? They most likely were given their education from the school they attend. Hopefully the school taught them what they needed to know to make such a decision. Should sex education be taught at school by teachers or by the parents?

The topic being investigated is the Pros and Cons of sex education on high school students aging from 14 years – 18 years. Sex education is where an individual is taught about human sexuality, (Sex education, Oxford Dictionary, 2017). Some examples of these studies may include age consent, sexual abstinence or even learning about the birth control. Sex education is implemented on students in high school to help ensure that they are well-informed about sex, sexual practices and the dangers out there, (Relationships, Problems and Education, 2017). Pros of sex education may include, students feeling confident in their bodies, students being aware of right and wrong behaviour in sexual relationships and to help students practice safe sex, (Sex Ed Rescue, 2017). However, sex education may also interfere with parents’

Should sex education be increased in the school systems to curb problems such as teen pregnancies and diseases? Some parents seem to think that sex education shouldn’t even be taught in school systems for many reasons that concern their child. While some parents rely on the school systems to teach their children about sex so that their child will be aware and more cautious. Let’s see what each side of the debate has to say…

Their was a once a girl who wanted to have sexual intercourse with her boyfriend. The next day when she went to second block which was her sex ed class the teacher made all the student stand up and ask question’s or tell personal stories. One of her friends told the class her personal story about how she had sex with her beloved one and caught HIV. The girl went home and decided not to have sexual intercourse with her beloved one just yet, she rather learn more about sex and get well informed about how to prevent STD”S and other bad things. Sex education has a positive impact on students. It helps students prevent such things as STDS/STI. Sex ed also shows teens how to protect themselves from any unhealthy relationship. Schools should allow sex education because it helps prevent STDS/STI , it also could gain self esteem , it could help prevent more teenage from being pregnant.

Should sex education be taught in schools? There are a lots of debates over this. Many adolescents are having sexual intercourse with insufficient information about sexually transmitted infections. This results in a lot of disastrous consequences in the society and it also affects their future. To overcome this situation, family and society must introduce sex education in the most influential environment for teenagers which is the school. I strongly agree that learning sex education at school helps prevent teenage pregnancy and sexual transmitted diseases, it indeed a need in case of parents' absence, and gives adolescent enough knowledge about their rights against sexual violence.
