So people in committed relationships should still practice safe sex, you’ll never know what can happen and it’s always better to be on the safe side. Practicing safe sex not only prevents you from getting any kind of diseases, but it also reduces your chance of getting pregnant or getting someone else pregnant. Being pregnant at a very young age can possibly hurt one’s future, it could cause you to drop out of school and find an instant job just to support the baby. As good and fun sex can be, being safe means highly protected and less chance to have any problems. No one wants to get an abortion and kill a child if they don’t want to keep their pregnancy.
Rather than live in the past and holding on to outdated "traditions", we should be keeping up with the times, especially those of us who plan to go into a helping professional field like teaching or social work. Studies now show that states with abstinence only education have the highest teen pregnancy rates (1) I can completely understand how providing birth control to middle school students would make some unconformable. Nobody wants to think about 12 year old children having sex, least of all their parents. But we can pretend it's not happening to feel a little better about ourselves and keep dealing with teen pregnancy and young kids having unprotected sex, or we can address it like the adults we are, and step in to intervene. When we choose not to discuss sex openly, we reinforce
Even children’s programming has some sort of sexual innuendo in it. It sparks there curiosity and leads to them having sex at an earlier age. Why would you not want to educate them on safe sex and how to protect themselves against disease? While I do agree with Rush Limbaugh on the fact that the only way to prevent disease and unwanted pregnancy is to abstain from sex, but what happens when they do decide to have sex and have no idea how to use a condom? There will be diseases spread and unwanted pregnancies.
You see many shows like Super Nanny were kids walk all over the parents, because they know that all they get is a time out. Parents have to deal with a lot from their kids that they shouldn't have to take over and over. Parents try and take things from their kids, but it turns out that the kids cause more problems because their bored without it. Kids do things that they shouldn't and parents tell them they can’t do that by giving them a light spank on the butt. The parents show that their not going to allow the child goofing off and they will be listened to.
Religion plays a big role because some people have religion based beliefs that the system is not sensitive to. “Federal law does not require sexuality education in schools. In fact, several federal statutes stipulate that the federal government should not prescribe curriculum standards” (Summers) The reasoning behind this papers thesis is, throughout the history of sex education it was believed that if sex education was taught using abstinence only then the teen pregnancy and STD rates would decrease but have been proving to increase. Teenagers can be told to abstain from sex but without giving them the information needed to be safe during sex then the teenagers are left with false or no information needed to keep themselves safe. Although teaching abstinence is taught to keep teenagers away from the reparations of engaging in sexual behaviors, it is not the most effective teaching method seeing the increased rate of STDs & HIV, an increased sexual influence in today’s society and the lack of education that teenagers have on sexual behaviors.
If parents are able to control were and who their children were drinking with I think this would be a major benefit to our society. One more benefit to lowing the drinking age is that it would keep kids from getting in trouble with the law. First, kid’s wont get under age tickets anymore because they would just drink with there parents consent. This in my opinion is better for everybody because kids are going to do whatever they want anyways. Lowering the drinking age will help because it will keep children from hiding and sneaking around all the time to drink alcohol when they already do it
Abstinence-plus Education first, encourages teens to be abstinence, but recognizes that abstinence may not be the choice for all teens. Even though, comprehensive sex education greatly emphasizes the benefits of being abstinent, Abstinence-only opponents argue that educating teens on sex before marriage is immoral and should not be taught in schools. On the other hand, what does that approach say to gay and lesbian students forbidden by law to “marry” in a legal sense (Wiley)? However, Abstinence-only Education is being taught in many public schools throughout the country, but studies show that more than 50 percent of students between the ages of 13-15 have already engaged in some type of sexual activity. In addition, the majority of those teens were unaware of the health risk and impact that unprotected or premature sex can have on their lives.
When the most important source; family betrayed them and cannot be trusted anymore, the child often feels that it is not possible to trust anyone in this world. They will end up being cautious with everyone they know in order to protect themselves from being abused again. The abused victim not always comfortable with people being close to them because of the bad experience they had been through had taught them that the loved ones cannot be trusted. Some of the victims may have the doubt and insecurity which makes them being a suspicious person over everything that they witnessed. Having a trust
They have a better way of dealing with certain situations. Their parents have taught them this. If a teenager is in care, this can be different because they haven’t been taught to deal with their emotions very well; there has been no one there to help them get through so they still act younger than they are. Emotionally, nature tells us that almost every teenager will have a rise in sexual hormones causing emotions to rocket and this cannot be help or affected by anything that may have happened to them. Socially, their friends are different.
April 24, 2011 Sexting Should Not Ruin Our Kids Life Do your young children have a cell phone? Do you know what your kids are sending and receiving on their cell phone? Sexting, “Sexting is a term generally applied to the sending of sexually explicit messages or photos electronically, primarily between mobile phones”(Daily Republic). Our kids, whether we know it, ignore it, are oblivious to it, or are in denial to it, are sending pictures of themselves, and others nude and partially nude to each other. The laws as they stand today can punish our children as sex offenders for doing this.
