Newman,+Dominique,+Sex+education


 * Hi my name is Dominique Newman, **


 * I chose sex education as my wiki topic because it is a very controversial subject. Like, some people say that we shouldnt have sex education in schools, some say we need a specific class on sex education. I believe that everyone should know about sex. Talking about safe sex, STD's, and other sex ed related topics in school is one way to help prevent these things from happening. The question is Abstinence only education or Comprehensive Sex eduaction? In my school i took a health class that showed me STD's and STI's, we learned about pregnancy and how to deal with it. I also learned about different contraceptives. This was very informative and I agree with this type of teaching. I didnt learn about this till my junior year and believe that in our community now sex education should be taught earlier in age. **


 * Top Five Things I Learned **
 * 1. Comprehensive Sex Education has proven to prevent pregnancy and STD's. **
 * 2.Abstinence only education has proven to delay sexual activity. **
 * 3.Parents believe that abstinence only education should be taught in schools. **
 * 4.There is a huge debate on sex education in schools. **
 * 5.We are spending too much money on Abstinence only sex education when its not working. **


 * 1. If i had to choose one thing for you to look at on my wiki it would be this video. I got t his video from you tube.This says that abstinence only education doesnt work. There are two arguments one for and one against abstinence only education. We are spending way to much money on this program when it isnt working. Comprehensive sex education helps prevent pregnancy and STD's. I give this a 5/5 for its information an the argument of abstinence only education. **

 * 2. I found this slide show on slideshare. It informs us of ways to tell your children about sex education, and not to always believe all of the media. It also helps tell children how to talk to their parents about sex education. It says kids are shy and they dont want to talk to their parents, but sometimes its the best way to retain information. It talks about what the kids will go through as they age and what they need to know about sex through this period of time. I give it a 5/5 for its information on age appropriate thoughts on what your kids need to learn. **
 * 3. I found this slide show on slideshare. It talks about whether or not schools should teach sex education, whether or not it should just be a abstinence only or comprehensive sex education. I give this a 4/5 for its pros and cons of each way of teaching but it could have given a little more information. **

 * 4. I got this from you tube. Students dont learn about STD's or pregnancy with abstunence only education so they are more likely to get those things and not know about it or how to hanlde it. So i believe that abstinence should be taught but along with contraceptives and STI's. I give this a 3/5 for its information but the guy says we dont need sex education in schools because its crap. Parents dont want to talk aboiut it with their children so its easier if the teacher does. **
 * 5.I got this from Google. This site is very informative. It tells us about sex education. What age it should be taught and what should be taught. Students should form their own beliefs about sex. It also says that parents should talk to their children about sex. That is leads to safer sex. I give this a 4/5 for its good information, it just repeats some of the information. **

 * 6.I got this from Google. This site tells us that the Obama Administration is taking away the money for the abstinence onle education and is giving money for comprehensive sex education. So students have healthier sexual attitudes rather than not knowing anything. I give this a 5/5 it has a lot of facts and numbers about comprehansive sex education. **

 * 7. This talks about the moms side of abstinece education. It also says that 67% of teens that recieved abstinence only education delayed sexual activity for two years. I understand this but without talking about STI's and Pregnancy kids are still vulnerable to them. I give this a 4/5 it had good information, it says wait but if your not going to wait do this. **
 * 8.This site talks about what parents want taught to thier kids in schools. Should it be abstinence only or comprehensive sex education. Parents believe that abstinece only education is better for their children. They had reasons such as religion or race, it was also a different answer for the gender of the parent. I give this a 5/5 for the information from the parents. **
