It is an awkward conversation that most parents don't even wanna have. This is why their should be more information available to kids. I think that the easiest way to reach kids is through school. If sex education is made available to every child across the country, i believe that teen pregnancy and std rates will go down. If the classes teach about contraception the rates would fall even more than before. If kids become aware then they may be a little more likely to slip a condom on before sex.
