2. Sex Education in School
• It doesn’t have to be hard-just like a health class.
• Abstinence-Plus
- Enforces abstinence idea
- Gives kids the knowledge of what could happen and what to
do.
• They have right to know.
3. What are the choices?
• Abstinence only
- Wait until marriage
• Contraceptive method
- Teaches how to protect yourself.
• Abstinence-plus
- Uses both concepts
4. The Argument
• Black and White- both do not want to mix
- Abstinence only- outdated
• The Majority of kids these days are having sex
- Contraception- too suggestive
• This method “pushes kids to have sex”
• There is a compromise
- Abstinence- plus
• Because the argument is so big between the main two, some think it’s not
possible to combine the ideas.
5. Statistics
Sex ed.- not being taught correctly. Kids are paying for it:
• By 18, 10 teen women and 5+ in 10 teen men had sex
• ¼ of sexually experienced teens have not received instruction
about abstinence before first sex.
• 1/3 of teens have not recievec any formal instruction about
contraceptives
6. What is the best method?
• Abstinence-plus
- Kids should wait: the push for abstinence
- They need to know how to protect themselves:
• Prevention
• Diseases/illness
• Contraception
- Why not? It’s a compromise.

10. Abstinence

15. Who Should Teach It?
Who can handle the job?
• Health Official

16. The Turn Out
• Health Official
- Knowledge would be there
- Not what signed what for…realistic?
• Teacher
- Can handle teaching
- As long as serious = success
- Needs to know what they’re teaching
• Pastor
- Religion = conflict
18. How Should it Be Taught?
• Coed
- Uncomfortable

- Immaturity
• Separate sex
- More appropriate
- Less awkward
- Good environment
19. Obvious Choice
• Separate Sex

20. Parents are Improtant
• Doesn’t stop with school
• Way the parent reacts
affects kid greatly
21. Talking to Become more Common
• Parents don’t want their kids to have sex- give too man
morals and guilt trips
- Don’t scare away
• Need to realize teens will have sex
- Can’t change much but if talk early and in an appropriate
way, can possibly change this
22. What I’m Saying
• Sex education needs to be taught at a younger age and with
more info
• They need to be taught abstinence-plus so they can see both
sidesp choose their own path
• Schools and parents need to be responsible
23. The Plan
• Abstinence
• Start at 5th grade- 12th grade
• Break up information
• Get parents involve
