Teenage Pregnancies Jania Thompson (edison)
Teenage pregnancies have become quite common in the past couple years. According to pregnant teen help.org, the United States has the highest rate of teenage pregnancies when compared to other countries. To me, this topic is simply due to ignorance. It is the lack of education that is provided to teens. Teaching teenagers about safe sex and the problems associated with pregnancy can go a long way in helping teenage birth rates lower. The only true way to avoid sexually-transmitted diseases and pregnancy is abstinence. However not everyone values abstinence so pregnancy prevention programs also promote safe sex practices. can honestly say that when it comes to sex, the topic is not mentioned much or even at all, when it should be. I came from a school that has 1 in 4 girls pregnant by or before the time that they leave high school. And since middle school, I have only had one class that was for sex education. It lasted a week, and we never had any more discussions about it.

The hysteria surrounding sex education is rediculous. Abstinence is great in an ideal world, but come on teen sex has been happening forever. We have to quit kidding ourselves and putting sex on this pedistal because it only makes it more forbidden and aluring to teens. We can reduce the percentages if we just stoped living in the past.
