This house would promote safe sex through education in school

Government
This discussion starts from the point of view that sexual education classes should be given at
schools. But does this mean that so-called safe sexshould also be promoted within these
lessons? This house would promote safe sex through education in school.

The government define the key terms of this Bills as follows; Safe sex is the practice of sexual
activity in a manner that reduces the risk of infection with sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
such as Chlamydia and HIV/AIDS, typically by use of condoms. Safe sex also includes sexual
practices that do not involve penetration.

Traditionally sexual education lessons have focused on covering the biological facts about
human reproduction, and warnings against unsafe sexual practices. Often today sex education is
combined with relationships education, in an attempt to place sex in a broader emotional, social
and family context. But now every day more and more people talk about safe sexand how
teenagers should be more informed about protection against STDs.

Despite the worries some people have about whether sex should ever be seen as entirely risk-free,
every day this so-called "safe sex" is promoted more and more as a solution for the epidemic of
sexually transmitted diseases amongst teenagers.

So, why should there be safe sex education?

In the USA one out of every four teenage women between the ages of 14 and 19 have at least one
of the most common sexually transmitted diseases (not including AIDS-infected teens). That is
3.2 million women, according to research into the most common STDs among teenagers that was
presented last year at the National STD prevention Conference for the first time. Ignorance is not
a solution and therefore teens should be better informed and learn more about how to have safe
sex. A good way to inform them is through their education. This is why safe sex should be taught
at schools.
Safe sex should be promotes in all schools to be specific in college level only; the more teens
who are informed the better. Not all schools promote safe sex and a few schools don t even give
sexual education, so is it right to say that the amount of std
s among teenagers and pregnant teens
is due to the promotion of safe sex? It might also be good to consider that the amount of pregnant
teens and teens with STDs are due lack of information given to all teenagers in the whole nation.
We have to accept that for a wide variety of social reasons teens are now more sexually active
than ever a development which preceded widespread sex education and which cannot therefore
be blamed in it. Keeping children in ignorance about sex will not stop them having sex, but it
will mean that the sex they have is riskier, resulting in unplanned pregnancies, abortions and
STD infections. Condoms while not perfect are widely recommended for the prevention of STDs.
They have been shown to be effective in reducing infection rates in both men and women. So it is
important to make the idea of safe sex more attractive to these teenagers to prevent STDs and for
teens to get pregnant. This is why at schools teenagers should be aware of this.

Some people believe that if teens can be taught how to use contraception and condoms
effectively, rates of pregnancy and STD infection will be reduced dramatically. But common
sense and statistics tell us otherwise.
Opposition
Promoting safe sex education is unjustifiable. Are you promoting it to all levels of education?
Meaning, young children are also included or rather in a simple context they also, must have the
knowledge of knowing this such things we called safe sex education. In this era we understand
that everything is sexualized or sexually active however these children do not have the mature
understanding to comprehend this type of education.

So clarify it. It isn

t the only place of schools to sexualize students in this way. There are other
ways to know safe sex education. Many people believe that sex education should be left to
parents, who are best placed to decide what information their children need and when the best
time to tell them. We all know that, parents are the ones who are responsible for their children
and they know what is best for their own. Parents are the people who best know their children;
they live with them, feed them, understand them, and know how and when is best to broach the
topic of sex with their children. Parents are in a very real way the shapers of children s psyche
and development, so their input on a central moral and physical issue such as this must be
respected. It is a myth that somehow parents lacks the capacity to deal with an issue like sex.
Rather, they are the best suited to it. The fact is that children generally listen to their parents, or
at least consider seriously what they are told by them. Furthermore, parents are more capable
than teachers, in light of their intimate relationship with their children, to discuss the emotional
aspects of sex and relationships, topics that would become jokes in the classroom and the subject
of ribald humour. So, it is better to leave sex education in the hands of parents who can apply the
delicate touch rather promoting safe sex education in school.

Instead of continuing with the promotion of safe sex, why don t schools just give teenagers
sexual education and tell them about the options like condoms and pills, instead of actively
promoting them and making them every time more and more attractive to use? Shouldn t they be
promoting the best and most secure options? The best way to prevent STDs and pregnant teens is
ABSTINENCE. So why don t schools start by promoting that? Not strictly abstinence until
marriage but just abstinence. If students wait at least until their bodies are done developing fully
and until they are not in puberty, the amount of STDs will be reduced dramatically, not only
because the human body is better developed for sex at an older age, but also because we are more
mature when we are in any kind of relationship.

From the adage curiosity leads to practice. We all know that once a person is curious they tend
to do it in practice. And as I was saying a while ago, what if those children are so much curious
about it and they do it in actual. This means that promoting safe sex education in school will
leads to teaching those children to do it in actual.
Condoms while better than nothing, should not be promoted so much in schools. It is one thing to
inform children of their options and a complete different thing to promote safe sex as a lifestyle.
By making the idea of safe sex more attractive. And as I was saying a while ago. You are in a
way telling them that they can be safe having sex and this has an encouraging effect to start. By
making them feel that by using these products they are protected from any risks it only makes
them more eager to start having sexual relations.
