sex education must be more than plastic penises and condoms

Providing sex education for 15 year old students is far too late. This is the expression of a 20 year old student. She says that students at the age of 15 already know how to use condoms and get bored when they get sex education at schools. She argues that the government should start to introduce programs which helps teenagers with practical guidance such as where to buy tampons and what to do if a condom breaks. Nevertheless, sex education should start at an earlier age because teenagers already know far more than how to put a condom.

I totally agree with this student. From where I come from we do not even get sexual education and it is a necessity if I look at the high percentage rate of teenage pregnancy. Young people need to not only know how to use a condom but need social and psychological guidance as well. Teenagers go through different physical changes during their teen years and can be very confusing to them, therefore need all the guidance and help through this critical period of their lives. Schools should provide sexual education at an earlier age. It is better to prevent then to regret.
