Sex Education is Needed in Florida Schools

In monitoring and securing the health of school-aged children, the agenda of most parents, teachers and public decision-makers in our country seems to place great emphasis on topics such as bullying, drug consciousness and social development is. Each of these issues is very important and worthy of attention, but the public school system has the theme of sex education. This is equally important among young people today, but it has still been dismissed for the same consideration.

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 I am doing (Roper 0340807). The sad truth is that contraception is a social attempt to "solve a much more serious problem" than a sexual behavior of puberty "quickly".

American schools only teach two kinds of sex education, "abstinence plus" and "abstinence". Abstinence Plus (also known as comprehensive education) treats abstinence as a positive choice, but also teaches prevention of sexually transmitted diseases and sexual activity during contraception. According to the 2002 survey by the Kaiser Foundation Foundation, 58% of the secondary school principals explained that sex education is "abstinence plus." Among the 48 state states (excluding North Dakota state and Wyoming state) 2005 state laws and policies, 21 states emphasize abstinence education and 7 emphasize that seven should teach abstinence in their own sex education program doing. Eleven states only require students to undertake comprehensive and ascetic education, and nine states do not mention any form of sex education in their laws and policies.

In 2011, the Mississippi Legislature passed a sex education law that obliges all public schools in the State of Mississippi to adopt "abstinence" or "forbiddance" sex education programs. Prior to the enactment of the law, the state public school system never taught sex education. In addition, additional funds are not provided to state public schools to properly implement these programs. Therefore, the lack of interest in the Legislature may be related to the high pregnancy rate in teenagers in Mississippi.
