Some of the very common myths about sex education are the following: Myth 1: Sex education programs increase sexual risk behaviors. Truth:There is no evidence that shows that sex education will encourage the children to engage in risky sexual behavior. On the contrary, these programs will help them take more healthy and responsible decisions in their sex lives. Myth 2:Comprehensive programs increase the frequency of sexual intercourse. Truth:There is no proof of this. On the other hand, there’s plenty of evidence that such programs had often had often delayed the initiation of the participant to sexual intercourse. Often these programs had led to sexually active young adults to stick with one partner and reduce the frequency of changing one’s partners. Myth 3:Comprehensive sexuality education is not effective, abstinence-only is. Truth:Abstinence-only sex education programs are less effective than comprehensive sex education approaches. Myth 4: Sex education is likely to increase the incidence of unwanted teenage pregnancies Truth:Studies have shown that teenagers who do not have sex education are unlikely to use condoms if they have sexual intercourse, whereas with sex education the chances of using condoms and avoiding pregnancies are much higher. |

Posted on: 11/16/2011 We ARE teenagers and we have hormones that can't really be controlled, I think that sex is healthy, but we have to be educated at a young age. I'm 19 and I was educated about sex in fifth grade! I was just 10 years old! Nowadays, parents try to avoid that awkward conversation instead of facing it and teaching their children.

Posted on: 09/15/2011 Whether you leave teens alone, or you are constantly watching them, they will have urges and curiosities about sex. Sex is a very natural thing and it's completely normal for teens to experience urges and feel curious about sex. I support comprehensive sex education in public schools 100%. It's EDUCATION NOT PERMISSION to have sex. Comprehensive sex education allows teens to be educated on the proper forms of contraceptives if they do choose to partake in sexual activities. No one can stop a teen from participating in sex. But we CAN help educate them so if they choose to do so, they can do it in an educated manner, and take all precautions so that they don't become pregnant or contract an STD. If you believe that abstinence is the only way to reach our kids these days, you're highly naive and need to realize that, that form of "education" is completely unrealistic.

Posted on: 06/16/2011 It is better to be educated anyways. Teen are surely not going to try what they have recently discovered in school because then they are well educated about the consequences. They will be avoiding a lot of confusions about their developing sexuality and concentrate on the real part that is their education and career.

Posted on: 04/22/2011 We should care more about sexual health.CDC reports that 1 in 4 teen girls got stds and members on largest STD support STDdating,com has reached 600,000 . You can try it out if you're living with herpes, HPV, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis. No rejection or discrimination.

Posted on: 08/15/2012 convert and be straight. That is the only way so people wont compent on ur sexuality. Plus, guys like girls, girls like guys. Thats the way it was in the very beginning in human life, and thats they way it should be. Just saying. By the way, some people will not except people who are gay. Well they won't except the fact the they are but they will except who they are.
