Do you feel that sex education in schools plays a vital part in preventing teenage pregnancies
Yes, school employees need to be open and honest about sex education. Also, it would not hurt if the nurse had condoms available to students. Students are going to have sex no matter what, so they need to be taught how to prevent pregnancy. Even more than pregnancy, everyone needs to understand STDs and how one catches an STD. No one talks about AIDS enough anymore and I am very concerned that teenagers do not take it seriously. AIDS prevention needs to be discussed more. A pregnancy is bad enough, but at least it won't kill you.
Let's face it: teens are going to have sex especially when they are told not to. It is not just the over-sexualized media that is to blame but also the lack of context and moral values imbedded into the youth. They need not only education about sex but also about morality otherwise its a half finished job.
