Explanation:
What should public schools teach our children about sex? It can be a complex question, especially when dealing with morals, social norms, pop culture, hormones and health. When students sit down for their sex education, should teachers embrace an abstinence-only policy?

Should 'Abstinence-Only' Sex-Ed be Taught in Public Schools?
Best For Everyone
I have to admit both ways of teaching sex-ed has their benifits, but I believe that we need to use the solution that will benifit everyone as a whole. The fact of the matter is there will always be kids in high school that will have pre-marridal sex, and we need to teach them what the consequences are to that and how to help prevent sexually transmitted diseases if they decide to. I think teaching kids what can happen to you when you have multiple sex partners will help them make more intelligent choices on whether or not they choose abstinence until marriage.
