Abstinence and education have been in partnership for a long time. Ever since I can remember, even in grade school, we were taught specific ways to act around the opposite sex. Girls and boys, men and women have a strong sexual attraction towards one another- its natural for the two to mix, mingle, and love. In jr. high I remember the health teacher preaching that we must restrain ourselves and not participate in sexual intercourse...ABSTINENCE! and then the teacher made us watch this horrendous film of a women birthing a child, as if they were saying if you have sex this is what happens no matter what! well it scared me, not going to lie, but the real truth is kids, and young adults are going to do whatever they want. This is just what happens when young people and hormones unite. This idea of no sex education in school could be linked to the idea of religion. Could schools silently be preaching an abstinence free lifestyle in regards to the church?
Rather talking about what kids shouldn't do, maybe they should actually educate them about sex, and what they should do if they are going to participate in sexual activities. Such as using protection, and when you shouldn't have sex in regards to menstrual cycles. This may sounds a bit outrageous, but at the same time it makes plenty of since to educate young adults about how to protect themselves and be smart way.
1. Do you think that religious views are being pushed in school class rooms?
2. Do you think sex education should be more realistic, in regards to how many young adults have sex ?
