Sex education for adolescents: An urgent task

I enjoyed our last class discussion on sex education in high school and whether or not sex education should be taught started in kindergarten like President Obama was fighting for. I personally thought that sex education should be taught at a basic level starting in kindergarten so that children are aware or of where they should and shouldn’t be touched.
I thought our class discussion on different topics such on whether or not sex education is taught properly in school and the issues that arise from people being ridiculed or made fun of for their sexual orientation is a relevant issue. I do feel that sex education should be taught at first from the parent because parents should educate their child about safe sex. Many parents don’t teach their children about sex education due to the fact that it may make them feel uncomfortable.
Children do have to be taught about sex so that they will take the proper precautions. Teen pregnancy has become a significant problem around high schools and middle schools. They do not use the proper birth control and they face the consequences of it. Young girls do not realize that having a baby can destroy their life. The expense and responsibility of having a child at a young age is extreme and can have a large impact on them.
