“OMG I think I’m pregnant, but I thought I couldn’t get pregnant if I did it standing up”

With the outraging percentage of teen pregnancies and STD outbreaks in most high schools, Its time to give the students the one class their hammering for Sexual Education.

Most teens to day are confused on the ins and outs of sex and the consequences that come along with it. Constitution high needs Sexual education for these reasons. The teen pregnancy rate in Constitution High School alone is ridiculous. “The teen pregnancy rate is so high its ridiculous,” said a student who currently attends Constitution HS We at least have 1 to 2 girls pregnant a year. If we had sex ed. we wouldn’t have all these babies having babies. Also the nation wide STD out break in high school children is very high also. If we had Sex ed. we can teach these teens how to protect them selves from disease.

Students are confused and have many questions that go unanswered. This is a major reason why we need Sex ed. Most of the time when we do ask the questions we need answered teachers or other treat us like kids instead of the young adults that most of us have proven our selves to be. “ My first time was a little iffy” that’s what one student says when being interviewed. If only he had someone to answer his question it wouldn’t be so iffy. So Being as though we don’t have anyone to answer these questions we make up our own answers or just dismiss them. At times can cause someone his or her health.

One student said, “sex is a powerful thing, we need education to handle it the right way.”
Sex bring along many different consequences. Yet it may feel at the moment but we need sex to show us young adults to not live in the moment but to think of future also.
