Do all of you agree with this statement-human are curious animals? I'm sure all of you will be agree with it that humans are curious animals especially during the teenage time that is when they will experience the changes of their body. However, they don't have other sources to get the information about 'sex' except from peer pressure and the media. Therefore, they will just learn and do like what the media showed. But, the reality is some elements of the mass media - television, radio, magazines - are ill-informed and this is also one of the reason why social ills are more serious nowadays. Thus, sex education play an important role here that they will provide the right information to the teenages.
Sex education also educate the child on the importance of protection as part of safe sex routine. Through this, they will know what they should do and also what they should not do in order to protect themselves. This may serve a higher purpose of preventing sexually transmitted infections. Moreover, they will also learn to make decisions that respect themselves and others by taking account the possible consequences. For instance, youngsters will be more matured, responsible and social ills can also be reduced. Furthermore, research had shown that children that are subjected to sex education are more apparent to practice safer sex.
The above is another importance of sex education in preventing social ills. Thus, if you want to share any information or opinion with me, please leave a comment to me.
Todays the rate of social ills like raping is very high and for my own opinion,i think one of the causes is due to the mass media that provide the wrong information to the youngsters...therefore,sex education really play an important role to us here...so that the youngsters can have a correct and clear picture about sex...
