David Landry, senior research associate at the Alan Guttmacher Institute in New York City tells, "What this is saying is that at least one-third of students are receiving information about contraception that is extraordinarily limited, where either discussion of contraception is barred altogether or the emphasis is on its ineffectiveness in preventing pregnancy and guarding against sexually transmitted diseases" (American)
This concealment of data will only impair young people for whom it is difficult to find accurate information by conferring with either their parents or peers. Besides the problem of school districts skirting the issues of safe sex and pregnancy prevention, students are completely unaided in understanding the complexities of sexuality beyond mere intercourse, because these topics are considered too controversial, even though they are the topics most applicable to many students lives. "As many as one in two school programs do not discuss more controversial topics, such as abortion and sexual orientation, in their sex education curricula" (American). Adolescents need the whole story on sexuality; deleting all sections that could perchance, in the remotest context, affront someone, leaves unanswered questions and a nebulous comprehension of sexuality. Those who believe that teenagers need to know nothing more than what is currently taught should have a look at the latest research. In his research summary "The Necessity of Comprehensive Sexuality Education In The Schools" John P. Elia reports that teenagers recount that the sex education they have received in school is inadequate Trinchieri 3 and "frequently at odds with what . they want to know in terms of sexuality and relationships". Specifically, surveyed adolescents in Liana Clark's article "Beyond The Birds & The Bees: Talking To Teens About Sex" in Patient Care, say they want to know more about how to prevent AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases (47%), how to use birth control (32%), where to get birth control (28%), and how girls get pregnant (22%).
