Teen Sex…
Having lived my entire life in the United States, I have been constantly bombarded with mixed messages about teenage sexuality. A recent article from the Washington Post shows that this may be unhealthy. The United States has a higher teen pregnancy and abortion rate when compared with European countries with about the same level of teenage promiscuity. Could it be all of the abstinence education? When kids are told, flat out, that sex is evil, it is not changing the fact that they will still do it. Informing teenagers and allowing them to make educated decisions would be better in my opinion. A change in the system is definitely necessary but how should the subject be approached?
