Comprehensive sexual educationSex, pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. This is what the United States has and the education program they have now to stop students from doing these things has no effect or progress on how students can use it to their advantage. While many believe it is right to teach sex education, others believe it is wrong because it interferes with parenting styles and some religions, and worries parents about how their children will be educated on this topic. Sexuality education should be taught in schools in an open and more in-depth way. One of the reasons it is so heavily promoted is because of the health benefits it brings to students. Students don't fully understand the health risks that come with unprotected sex because we strongly encourage abstinence and parents don't agree with teaching it at all. So when students look at what the reactions to sex are like for adults, they think it's a bad thing, and it really isn't if we didn't have sex none of us would be here and if students were taught the right things about it l topic and educated on the facts they will gain a better understanding and know what to do if the situation approaches them (Rushowy 1). “Markham said the broader concept of consent could be added early on by talking to younger students about respectful relationships and boundaries around their bodies.” On the other hand, this worries parents about how their children will react to learning these things and how the teacher will teach them. because it may not be the way they want their children to learn this topic (Keenan 1). “Schools interpret (the mandate) in different ways.” and this leads to problems such as "leaving the sex education program to individual districts... middle of paper... children will hear about sex, if not from us, then from the Internet, TV, colleagues, all of this leads to misinformation, misbehavior and peer pressure. Simply sitting down and deciding to talk about what they're going through, what they need, and what they deserve can make the difference between a teenager and a high-functioning child or a very confused young adult. (Bonner 3). “Contraception education is important! , but sex-ed has the equally important capacity to prevent developmental sexual violence if we give it the opportunity to do so.” Working together can solve this problem with all the statistics, all the information, and all the time people have spent trying to help or prevent. Let's use it for the greater good so that we as Americans can fight this problem and defeat it because we can work together as a unit and come to a solution.
