sex education speech
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I come before you today to address an important matter. Have you noticed the number of teens having abortions and premartial sex has increased? I am very sure, as adults who care about their children, all of us present here are worried about this shocking turn of events. The government's answer to this is a controversional one: implementing a subject called "sex education" into the school syllabus. While many people are against this, I stand here today to tell you, ladies and gentlemen, why this scheme should be approved.
Sex education has to be taught so that teenagers will know exactly what sex is and will not be cheated to have sex without knowing what they are getting themselves into. The whole point to sex education in the schools is to provide students with accurate information and arm them with enough knowledge to make wise, healthy decisions and the different types of contraception, including abstinence so that they will have the knowledge necessary to make an informed decision concerning when they become sexually active. Many young girls who get pregnant at such a young age will die as their bodies cannot support a live baby. We must therefore maintain comprehensive sex education standards in our public schools. By doing so, we provide our future leaders with all the proper tools to make safe decisions in their lives. Without the correct information, incorrect and blatantly misleading information will cause our youths to be doomed to fall further behind the rest of the developed world in this crucial stage of their lives.
What is sexually transmitted disease? Sexually transmitted disease is an infection that has symptoms, commonly known as STD. Unfortunately STDs have become common among teens, partly because teens are becoming sexually at a younger age and are having multiple sex partners. So it is very important to learn what we can do to protect ourselves. STDs are more than just an embarrassment. They are a very serious health problem. If untreated, some STDs can leave permanent damage, such as infertility and even death. Each year there are about 19 million new STD cases in the USA, and about one-half of these are among young people between 15 and 24 years old. Allow me to say that it is necessary for teenagers to be educated about sex in schools. Only by this way, the teenagers will not have sex at such a young age and be protected from getting STDs.
Creating awareness in teenagers is the best time to stop these negative effects from happening. Parents, too, need to play an important role for their children to make them know what is sex and the negative effect of premarital sex. Sex education in schools will help teenagers to understand more on the negative effects and why they should not do it at such a young age. Therefore, not only teenagers need to know what's going on, parents and teachers should also help these teenagers in understanding more about sex. They should educate them, and make them not do premarital sex.
