supported by some statistic that shows that the birth
rate went from 36.2 to 34.1 per 1,000 births to
adolescent mothers. (Ventura County Star, 2010).
According to the California Department of Public
Health, the rate of teen births which was previously
37.1 in the year 2007 decreased by 1.9 per 1000 in
2008. Secondly, an epidemiologist with the CDC –
Trisha Mueller, found that sex education does work
and it also delays teen having sex which inevitably
leads to teen pregnancy being reduced. Based on a
national survey of 2,019 teens aged 15 to 19 in 2002,
her team found that teen boys were three times more
likely to used contraceptive methods compared to
those who did not went through sex education.
- Author point out that nowadays, sex scenes are
heavily portrayed in some movies and TV shows
which teenagers are watching. Even on the Internet,
when one clicks on a certain link to a website,
adverts containing sexual messages and pictures are
posted to the side of the pages as if they were
normal. Teenagers could have strayed easily to such
websites and unknowingly received incorrect
information about sex.
-it is well written and the authors explains it so
precisely
- I agree with the author point of view because,
teenager and children should know about this
common sense, some of their parents have teach
them but there are some that does not teach them
about it, if we look at the evidence that the author
had point out it is clearly that sex education is
important.
-Based on my view sex education can lead teenagers
to have a healthy life and they know what to do
when they face this situation.
- the advantage of getting sex education in school,
which is Sex education teaches teenagers about the
prevention of HIV/AIDS and that one should get
their partner tested for sexual transmitted diseases
before undergoing any sexual activity with them.
Sex and AIDS education have been proven by
research done that they delay sexual activity as well
as they teach students who are more sexually active
to have safer sex. sex education into schools can
decrease the rate of child sexual abuse and thus
providing a way out for children and teenagers.
Besides that, the availability of sex education can
also offer help and guidance to children with
learning disabilities as they go through puberty.

the world.
