CONCLUSION

Developing effective sex education programs is challenging due to the complexity of

teenage sexual behavior and difficulties inherent in conducting research to evaluate their
effectiveness. However, consideration of this education within social contexts in which teenagers
shape their sexual behavior would be potentially significant to the development of sex education
policy and sexual health services for young people, including those from minority ethnic groups.
Every teenager should have sex education incorporated into their schooling. It shouldn’t
be opt-in or opt-out but mandatory. Why should parents be able to opt their children in or out of
a subject that they'll need later in life, one way or another? Sex education should be mandatory,
comprehensive, medically accurate, and taught throughout student's school years, just like
math. It's been shown to help students, not hurt. Not only is having access to sex education that is
not only comprehensive but medically accurate a human right; it's our fundamental duty as a
society to educate the next generation. Currently, we are failing.
Sex education needs to engage more with young people with respect to their needs and
consideration of the potential influences on their values and behavior. Family, friends, religious
teaching, and media can complement sex education provided at school. Cooperation between
these is crucial to enhance the effectiveness of sex education and promote positive sexual health.
