Provide America's Youth with Comprehensive Sexual Education


Provide America's Youth with Comprehensive Sexual Education
The Issue
Problem
America's youth has been deprived of the crucial knowledges of comprehensive sexual education programs due to the growth of abstinence-only curriculums that refuse to teach topics such as contraceptives, STD/I education & prevention, human development, decision making, pregnancy education & prevention, family relations, and consent. The lack of these topics has proven to increase pregnancy and STD/I rates amongst teens, while also showing a decrease in willingness to get tested and/or receive treatment for said conditions.
Solution
In order to properly educate America's youth, comprehensive programs must replace abstinence-only programs. Comprehensive curriculums would also teach abstinence and celibate lifestyles and behaviors along with all the other comprehensive subjects mentioned above. The switch would reduce teen pregnancy and STD/I rates, as seen in states that choose to introduce their students to comprehensive educational programs.
