On one side were those who consider certain sex education programs
as ineffective and unsuccessful. Genuis and Genuis (1995, p. 240)
"Contraceptive-based sex education programs have shown minimal evidence
of decreased sexual activity, decreased adolescent pregnancy rates, or
increased contraceptive usage," according to the study. They proposed that
these programs take a different approach, such as concentrating on
behavioral difficulties and advocating sexual deferral. "Abstinence-only
programs have not been proven to be beneficial in helping young people
postpone sexual participation," according to other writers. ("Sexuality
Education in Schools: Issued and Answers", 1996, p 4). There is insufficient
data or study to establish the effectiveness of these types of programs in
delaying sexual intercourse.
Haffner (1995) suggested that sex education was more effective when
students knew about both their bodies and their sexuality. Rather than being
taught about sexuality, students were given the chance to research and
evaluate their own sexuality. It's important to think about your beliefs,
values, attitudes, and social skills. A study paper was given by ETR Associates
(cited). Terrell (1995) discovered that successful programs shared the
following characteristics: (a) adolescent participants; (b) adolescent
participants; (c) adolescent participants; (a) programs aimed at raising
awareness of the benefits of avoiding pregnancy, and (b) programs aimed at
raising awareness of the benefits of preventing pregnancy. Role playing and
teacher training are two approaches to increase abilities and self-esteem by
decreasing particular actions rather than more broad aims.
Children and teens learn about sexuality not just from their parents at
home, but also from their classmates. Other influences, such as physicians,
teachers, neighbors, and media, all have an impact on their knowledge. As a
result, it is vital that music, literature, and other forms of media be preserved

organizations, the media, companies, and government and health-care
professionals "should be active in promoting adolescent health," according to

One of the main factor or main cause of teenage pregnancy is inadequate sex
education, some girls do not know that having sex can result in pregnancy;
fully considered as responsibility on having children. (https://www.npr.org,

Lack of sexual education reinforces existing taboos and leads to sex through
trial and error, possible impotence of lack of satisfaction, guilt complexes,
and, in the absence of contraceptive advice, unwanted pregnancies due to
ignorance. Sex repression can result in sexual violence and deviance. Young
people who are anti-authoritarian may be hesitant to seek for advice.
Pregnancy is not easy, especially for young people who are early in
pregnancy. They should have the guidance of parents or adults to advise and
explain to them that getting pregnant is not easy, especially at their age.
