strongest argument

The strongest point that I will be making is that sex education promotes teenagers to experiment with sex, drugs, and alcohol. At this time in an adolescent’s life, there hormones are becoming more active which leads to curiosity. Not only does sex education lead to curiosity but hearing about sex on the radio or on television or in movies also thought of fitting in and “being cool”. The information that students learn includes detailed information about sex, STD’s, ect. Current sex education programs are telling students scary and inaccurate facts. Students are not getting the information that they need. Some schools hand out condoms and don’t even inform the students how to properly use it. Or teach girls about birth control without explaining the high risks. Most schools inform their students to have safe sex. With this being said some students believe that it is simple ok to have sex as long as they are being protected. By the time that students get to high school a large percentage of them have already experimented with what is taught in sex education courses. America alone has the highest rate of teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases in the entire world.
