-ne Surprisingly, compared with teenagers in the early 1990s, the rates for sexual activity and pregnancy of teens today are marginally declining. While old fashion sex education maybe assisting in these gradual decreases, recent studies are finding that additional strategies need to be implemented with sex education in order to provide a substantial decline in teen pregnancies.Currently in the United States two types of sexual education are actively being used: abstinence-only and comprehensive sex education. Comprehensive education bases its information on the fact that many teens do choose to have sex, and thus as a goal, deems it essential to provide teens with the appropriate information they need in order to reduce the level of unprotected sexual encounters (Collins, 1997, p. The other 51 percent have a policy to teach abstinence as the preferred option for teens and permit discussion of contraception as an effective means of preventing pregnancy and STDs.”Despite both the programs educational efforts in middle schools and high schools, there still exists an average of 800,000 teenage girls becoming pregnant each year, and an average of 450,000 of them giving birth (Henshaw, 2004). Three factors thought to contribute to this problem involving teenage sexual behavior and high pregnancy rates are: why teenagers are engaging in sex, low contraceptive use, and low motivation to delay pregnancy.As previously mentioned, there are currently 46.7 percent of teenagers (ages 15-19) in the United States who have admitted to engaging in sexual intercourse (CDC, 2003, p. Perhaps the most alarming response from teenagers is another indicator of why teen pregnancy still appears to be an issue: teens had low motivations to delay a pregnancy. The reasons behind low contraceptive usage and lower motivations to delay pregnancy appear to be the tip of the iceberg when examining the shortcomings of the abstinence-only and comprehensive sexual education programs.While both abstinence-only and comprehensive sex educational programs are designed in theory to give teens insight on either how to avoid pregnancy or to protect oneself from it, researchers say there are still underlying issues that neither sexual education program is addressing and as a result, the rates of teen pregnancy are only marginally declining. 288) is that sexual education needs to include teaching teens refusal, negotiation, and relationship development skills in order to improve teens self esteem and provide teens with a better understanding of their emotions and how to better relate in relationships. 284) study additionally suggested that sex education programs and facilities should make it easier for them to obtain contraception, as well as providing more realistic information about relationships, pregnancy and parenting, suggesting that teens themselves still feel it difficult to obtain contraceptive devices and maintain the feeling that they are not getting necessary information. In order to drastically reduce the rates of teen pregnancy in the Unites States, a reform is needed in the arena of sexual education programs. The current divide over which sexual education curricula should be taught in public and private schools boils down to Should we, from the view of abstinence-only, provide teens with the information that will encourage them to engage in sex? The most beneficial thing to teach teenagers of today to reduce teen pregnancies, is the facts about contraceptives, birth control, sexually transmitted diseases, and related curriculum of comprehensive sex education. With the addition of material designed to improved teen self esteem, assess and acknowledge the emotional realities of relationships, and provide accurate information about pregnancy and parenting, sexual education will be in a position to provide an optimal impact on teenage pregnancy.Another aspect to improving sexual education to provide decreased rates in teen pregnancy would be to get the parents more involved. By allowing parents to attend the same structure of sex education class as their teen, teenagers will not only receive the information they need, but will also have what they learned from school enforced by their parents.Lastly, one of the most important aspect of supplementing sex education programs is to allow sufficient time and an accepting environment to listen to teens and their issues.

What strange desire prompts me to subject myself to stress, boredom, and utter frustration. A bizarre wish to torture myself? I am killing myself for that? And here sitting on this less-than-comfortable chair praying for the class to end, I realize why I am putting myself through this. Years from now, when I look back on my schooling, I will be thankful that I worked hard and studied hard.
