SEXUAL EDUCATION

...Or sex ed as they like to call it, is something that is completely ignored in my school. This "abstinence-only" education is simply denying the students the information they need to go into the real world. Sure many adults feel that if you teach a student how to unroll a condom on a banana that many more teens will feel prepared to have sex, but if you deny the students this right to learning, aren't they that much more likely to practice unsafe sex thereby risking pregnancy? It is entirely understandable that the faculty at school would preach abstinence until marriage and that can still occur, but the fact is that in today's world, pre-marital sex is much MUCH more likely, and students should know how to practice this safely if they choose to do so.
