Teaching Abstinence in Schools
After reading this article I believe that abstinence should be taught in the schools. The reason why is because of the fast growing rate of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. When children are around the age of puberty though and have questions in sex education, I feel as if they should be answered. Not to take Lickona's method and just say sex is wrong before marriage. Even though I feel as if sex education should be taught we need to be teaching abstinence a lot more. I think that teaching abstinence would reduce teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. I also feel that if kids now days are focusing to much on sex and not focusing on the important things. If my high school was taught abstinence I believe that we wouldn't of had the high rates of teen pregnancy that we had. Teaching abstinence is a controversial subject, but i feel as if it is well needed in today's curriculum.
