We are number one in the world for teen pregnancies, with approximately 500,000 births per year to girls under twenty. In second place in the statistics is Poland, which only has around 30,000 teenage births in a year. When it comes to sex, people feel uncomfortable because it is a topic that is considered personal and secret. However, people not only feel uncomfortable with the topic because it is taboo, but they try to avoid it because they are not always correctly informed and have no way of learning about it, excluding the Internet which does not. We don't always have accurate material and we don't have general knowledge about sex. Education about sex and surrounding topics, such as STDs and prevention, should be medically accurate, determined by a group of well-educated doctors who specialize in the topic, and be taught and easily available to teens . The lack of sex education in schools is leading to less informed teens due to inaccurate information distributed publicly, abstinence-only programs leave out crucial information needed by all teens, and even when taught accurately in schools, teens can still be despised for possessing awareness of the taboo subject. In schools that teach sex education, adolescents are not always medically informed. Nineteen of the fifty states in the United States require these classes to be provided with accurate medical information, and even some accurate medical information may vary from state to state depending on what the state defines as "medically accurate" ("State Policies"). If we give less than half of the country's student population medically accurate information, that may not even be truly accurate... halfway down the paper... we express and emphasize that this is a natural and ordinary behavior event in the life of an adult and sometimes of a teenager. Schools subjugate young adults when they don't teach them vital, accurate information that they will need at some point in their lives. By choosing to change information, or not include it at all, they deny adolescents the knowledge that will be needed to make choices. Shaming students when they engage in activities that some may not approve of is immature behavior and must be stopped. Someone else who chooses and consents to sexual activity and does not influence your life in any way should not worry about you because their sexual involvement is none of your business. There needs to be widespread dissemination of accurate information that is available to adolescents at a proper age appropriate with some social acceptance of sex.
