introduction

Over the past few years, the debate on whether to teach sex education in schools has increased. Some say that teaching adolescent students about sex and diseases at a young age will decrease the number of pregnancies. On the other hand, there is the argument that teaching students about having safe sex will promote them to experiment. The number of teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases has increased tremendously. The United States has the highest rate of teenage pregnancies in the entire world. Somewhere something is going wrong. Should students learn about sex from schools? Or is learning from parents and clinics the best way to go? The goal now in the United States is to try to decrease teenage pregnancies any way we can.
