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?

Parents Want a Strong Abstinence Message
even though parents want it doesnt mean it will be true
Parents want their children to practice abstinence, so therefore they want the schools to teach abstinence only. However the teachers can teach abstinence, but that does not mean the teens will listen. The parents that think the teens will listen to the abstinence only and not have sex until they are married are being naive. The world seems to be a different place than it was years ago and teens are even having sex earlier than before. Although this is not a good thing, abstinence only programs are not going to change it.
