A NECESSITY

Sex Education has adverse effects. I will start by discussing how sex education
can negatively affect our cultural beliefs and family relationships. An article from
SickKids published in 2019, parents should not rely on the school system to teach sex
education. Parents should be a child’s first source of information about sex. What a
child learns in school, friends, and social media will be incomplete and incorrect. Thus,
actual sex education leads to promiscuity. Therefore, it should be taught at home, not in
the classroom.
Following that, sex education can have negative societal consequences, such as
peer pressure, feeding their sexual desires. Peer pressure is also a byproduct of sex
education, according to a study by Shereen Lehman, where kids' judgments of how
sexually active their friends are may have the most considerable impact on their sexual
behavior. According to a study published in the Journal of Health Economics in 2018,
sex education has never been proven to prevent teen pregnancy or abortion. Although
official sex education has been taught in schools for a long time, both the UK and the
US have a high rate of adolescent pregnancies.
Lastly, sex education can contrarily affect our psychosexual behavior. Based on
a study, the expected behaviors of adolescence, ages 13 -16, the first sexual
intercourse will occur for approximately one-third of teens, primarily contributed by sex
education. Sex education implements knowledge about sexual and reproductive
behaviors. This topic focuses more on adults rather than teenagers or learners since
they are underage. Sex does not need to happen between the minors in the first place.
To summarize, sex education has a detrimental impact on our cultural society for
the reasons I mentioned earlier, such as an individual's views and familial relationships,
social influence such as peer pressure, which could fuel their sexual urges, and,
contrarily, affect our psychosexual conduct. Our team firmly opposes the inclusion of
sex education in high school curricula. A child's first source of information on this
subject should be their parents. As a result, it should not be taught in schools. Before I
end my speech, I’ll leave you this question to ponder: do you still think that this topic is
indispensable, given that the previous generation has survived without sex education?
