Sex Education in American Schools

In the United States, 1 million girls are pregnant each year, and at least 3 million young people are infected with sexually transmitted diseases (Donovan, 1). While these figures vary slightly, today's American teenagers face problems such as HIV / AIDS, other sexually transmitted diseases, teenage pregnancies. This means that some people need to change. By making the curriculum fully and comprehensively address the problems faced by today's adolescent, such as teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, rape, dealing with stress and emotions in sexual behavior, As sex education improves, it decreases. .

The discussion on whether to get sex education at an American school is over. In a new opinion poll by NPR, the Caesars Family Foundation and the Kennedy Government University of Harvard University, only 7% think that sex education should not be taught in schools in the United States. In addition, there is little debate about what sex education should be taught in most places, but there is still controversy. Parents are usually satisfied with sex education provided by children's schools (see "Parent's Approval" sidebar). The principal of a public school is a parallel study of schools of NPR / Kaiser / Kennedy and reports that the community has few sex education. There was a serious conflict. Nearly three quarters (74%) of the principal said that they have not recently discussed or discussed the contents of sex education at the PTA, the Board of Education, or other public meetings.

Sex education at public schools is a controversial issue in the United States for over 10 years. As the crisis of HIV and teen pregnancies increases, sex education is needed. I believe that sex education should be educated by parents at home in some Americans. They believe that school sex education programs do not emphasize abstinence and encourage children to sexual intercourse. American culture is very focused on sexual orientation. - Controversy over national high school students' nature of sex education is rising. 81% of American adults support not only the abstinence program but also the joint program of abstinence and contraception (Roper 0316946), 79% support contraception education regardless of the level of sexual activity in youth doing. The sad truth is that contraception is a social attempt to "solve a much more serious problem" than a sexual behavior of puberty "quickly".
