    Each year, U.S. teens experience as many as 850,000 pregnancies, and youth under age 25 experience about 9.1 million sexually transmitted infections. The sexual education in schools cannot claim innocence because if the education for this topic was better, teenagers would not have gotten these diseases. “Controversy arises when abstinence is provided to adolescents as a sole choice and where health information on other choices is restricted or misrepresented” (Santelli 1).

After finishing this chapter I came to the conclusion even I was blind to the fact there are many different methods and a variation of contraceptives.…

    Adolescent sexual activity and little knowledge on how to protect themselves against STI/STD’s may be answered through more advanced sex education classes in school. Comprehensive knowledge to these subjects will be provided in the classroom including: birth controls, the use of condoms to prevent STI/STD’s, sexual behavior, meanwhile also encouraging abstinence and delayed sexual activity. Few parents disagree with school’s providing the information to their children; although, the parents who do contradict may not be willing to provide information about this subject and the knowledge the adolescents need to know. A child has the ability to have sexual interactions whether or not they are taught safe sex; so why not provide the information they need to know to keep themselves…
