Education is Power

sex, it needs to be taught
sex, people need to know
sex, you should experience… at a later time

Comprehensive sexuality education is a major problem in today’s society. It is often forgotten and left behind. Abstinence. However, abstinence doesn’t always work… People are curious and teenagers especially enjoy experimentation. So instead of preaching to people not interested, we need to make available knowledge. With the proper knowledge, we as teens, can make smart decisions, such as using condoms, and morning after pills. No matter what happens, we will try. So instead of trying to completely wipe our minds clean, why not give us education needed to make the right choice.
