Imagine one night, you wake up to a phone call from your sister and she’s crying because she just took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. She was the child who didn’t do any wrong, but she would always sneak out and have sexual relations with people of the opposite sex. As a result of your parents not letting either one of you in a sexual education course, neither one of you know about the alternatives, so your sister feels that she has to keep the baby and her life is changed forever;…

contraceptives. “In summary, these studies demonstrate that more than a third of the programmes[sic] increased condom or contraceptive use, while more than half reduced sexual risk-taking, either among entire samples or in important sub-samples” ( qtd.UNESCO 15).

Brazil has yet to take care of the overcrowding prison situation, but the Ministry of Health has helped by providing education, treatment, prevention, and condom and needle programs. Although this has helped the prisons, it still does not change the fact that it is overcrowded. Brazil can come up with a $1.6 million budget to expand and build more prisons. Overcrowding can lead to long waits for the…

negative manipulation of sexual relationships. For example, in a 2004 report by Government Reform Committee staff, some of the information being taught consisted of “a 43-day-old fetus is a "thinking person"; HIV can be spread via sweat and tears; condoms fail to prevent HIV transmission as often as 31 percent of the time in heterosexual intercourse; women who have an abortion "are more prone to suicide"; and as many as 10 percent of women who have abortions become sterile.” These are…

HIV and AIDS are most often used terms by many people considering them to have the same meaning, but in real they are two interchangeable terms for the same condition. HIV and AIDS are totally different. “HIV” stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus which causes or develops into Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome – “AIDS” in the later stages of the HIV infection.

(Public Health England, 2014, 4) If taken prophylactically, a new antiretroviral drug, Truvada, has been shown to be highly effective to protect HIV-negative people who engage in high-risk behaviour, such as having unprotected sexual intercourse or multiple sex partners.…

Knowing the Facts “Waaaaaaah!” Imagine waking up to a screaming, crying baby for the 8th time that night. 2:32 A.M. reads the clock. The young girl thinks to herself, “I’m 16 years old. I just got my license, I should not have a child.” Sex education should be taught to students because it reduces teen pregnancy, increases contraceptive use, and delays sexual activity. Do not misunderstand, children are a blessing, but they can make life extremely stressful when they are had at the wrong…

We live in a society where monogamous dating is no longer the only “norm” for our generation. While it’s nice to meet someone you can see yourself spending the rest of your life with, the time before meeting this special person is no longer spent waiting idly for them to come sweep you off your feet. Instead, we’ve become more open to casual hookups, and no strings attached flings happening while we’re still single, and that’s great. But still, there are those who are unsure about the hooking up…
