Sex Education In School |

Schools have a significant role in imparting effective sex education to adolescents. Research has shown that with effective sex education to young adults in schools, it is possible to push back the age at which adolescents experiment with sex. These programs also have the potential to encourage youngsters to use protection during their first sexual experience. However, although schools in the cities and suburbs of India are coming up with innovative health and hygiene workshops that deal with issues like health foods and usage of sanitary napkins, the introduction of comprehensive sex education in schools on a regular basis still remains a subject of raging controversy. The existing education system in India is still much divided about conducting such workshops and programs within the school premises. According to the WHO, sex education for children should be imparted at the age of 12 and above. It is estimated that 34% of the HIV infected persons are in the age group of 12 to 19 years; despite this statistic, it was found that school authorities still nursed a mental block. The results of a survey conducted by Vidyasagar Institute of Mental Health and Neurological Sciences, Delhi, in the year 2003, might be an eye opener to school authorities where children themselves expressed the need for sex education. |

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: 02/21/2010 I am currently writing an essay on this particular subject and I believe that sex education is a very effective factor that SHOULD be required in teens life. They put so much effort into how we dress yet only if they knew we could prevent certain things like 'revealing' dress-wear. Hm,next time they decide to cut off budget spending on something that could be good for us they really should look towards the forward spending finances, and how without sex education courses we could spend more than we expected with these 'little' ignorant and naive mistakes. |
