Sex education classes in high school teach teens about STD’S, pregnancy, AIDS, abstinence and stages in human characteristics. All of these topics and many others are a big part of the American society. All young men and women need to be informed about such things to protect them selves in the future. How is a parent at home going to be able to teach their children about STD’s, AIDS, and the human body without being a professional teacher?

My dad did not have any idea how to explain to me, a girl, about certain things that were going to happen to my body soon.

Sex education is very important to a teenagers future and whether or not they contract an STD, get the AIDS virus or a teenage girl becomes pregnant. All of these factors will help make the lives of many teenagers lives better.
