Sex Education and Teenage Pregnancy Santrock (2016) mentions inhis text that the United States has one of the highest teenagepregnancy rates of industrialized nations, despite the fact thatadolescent sexual activity is no higher in the United States. Whyis that? For starters, sex during adolescence is considered a\"taboo\" subject in our culture. Abstinence is also promoted andtouted as the most safest, surefire way to avoid the consequencesof early sexual activity. Additionally, we teach teens that sexualactivity is an \"adult activity\" and do not acknowledge that duringthe adolescent period, when there is an upsurge of hormones andchanges in the physiological landscape, teens grow curious abouttheir bodies and that of the opposite sex. Teens are also at astage in their life where experimentation and identify formationare at its \"peak\", and questioning, expressing, and exploring theirsexual identity is part of that process. How many people did youknow in high school knew what sex was and even had sex? Probablythe majority. That is because sexual curiosity during adolescenceis part of healthy, typical human development. What is sexeducation? Briefly, sex education is about instilling accurate,scientific-based information and spreading awareness about thefollowing: 1. The physiological changes that occur in the body dueto pubertal/hormonal changes. 2. The risks and consequencesinvolved in sexual activity such as contracting sexuallytransmitted diseases or pregnancy. 3. It involves teachingyoungsters how to set boundaries with others when it comes to theirown body and other people's bodies (i.e.\"No means NO!\"). 4.Contraception options-how to be \"sex smart\" such as the benefits ofusing protection. 5. A discussion about knowing when they are\"ready\" to have sex. 6. Define rape and sexual assault and how toknow if you are about to be a victim.

Thank you!Example: 1. In elementary school during the end of 4th grade iswhen I first got introduced to 'sex education'. It wasn'tnecessarily a real class but more of a discussion that lasted acouple days, no more than a week. I remember the boys were in oneclassroom getting taught about sex education as well with a maleteacher and as for the girls, we were in a separate room gettingtaught about sex education with a female teacher. The same thinghappened as we entered the 5th grade. I remember learning about themenstrual cycle for the first time and how to go about it. To bequite honest I don't remember much else from these discussions.What stuck most to my head was the topic of pubertal/hormonalchanges. It served me well as a teenager because I was prepared forthese changes to happen and knew exactly how to handle it. 2. Aneffective way to a approach a conversation with a teenager about'safe sex' is first and foremost start the 'talk' early on. Also toapproach the talk openly and in an non-judgemental way so they canfeel confident about asking any questions regarding the topic.There must be a sense of trust.
