1. Sex Education in
Schools
LAURA CECH

2. Sex Education is Essential
 Without it, teenagers do not know how to
properly protect themselves.
 Abstinence only education is the standard in our
country.
 Instead of telling our teens that sex is forbidden, we
need to teach them to protect themselves.
 If we do this, the teen pregnancy and STD rates
should drop drastically.

3. Lack of Laws Requiring Sexual
Education
 In most states there is no law
requiring schools to teach
accurate sex education.
 Or sex education at all.
 In almost every state, the sex
education standard is
abstinence only.
 If young people don’t know what
sex is, how are they to protect
themselves from it’s dangers?

4. Teen Pregnancy Rate
• Luckily, the pregnancy rate
has gone down.
• Schools have to choice to
teach proper sex education.
• Several realize that this is the
best choice for our youth.
• Even some parents chose to
teach their kids at home to
protect them.

5. Teen STD Rate
 STD rates among young adults, are far higher than any other age group.
 Without education in schools, they do not know how to behave.
 Even adults out of High
School and College are
uneducated.
 Throughout upwards of 20
years, no one taught them
proper ways to prevent
STD’s

6. Religion
 Having sex prior to marriage is thought
to be a sin in many religions.
 However, our country does not have a
religion we must adhere to.
 For this reason, we must not base our
laws off the laws of religion.
 To make our country stronger smarter
and safer, it is best to teach young
people everything they need to know.

7. Conclusion
 There is no reason to continue shielding our nation’s young people
from unavoidable truths.
 Sex is a dangerous act, and if we don’t educate our youth about
those dangers, they’ll end up learning the hard way.
 A majority of our countries STD’s and pregnancies come straight
from the millennials.
 If a person doesn’t know any better, they aren’t able to protect
themselves.
 Teen STD’s and pregnancies are not the fault of the teens, but the
fault of the adults who did not educate them.
 We must make a change.
