relationships, along with skills-building to help young people communicate about and make informed
decisions regarding sex and their sexual health. Sex education should occur throughout a student’s grade
level, with information appropriate to students’ development and cultural background.
It should include information about puberty and reproduction, abstinence, contraception and condoms,

relationships, sexual violence prevention, body image, gender identity, and sexual orientation. It should be taught

by trained teachers. Sex education should be informed by evidence of what works best to prevent unintended

pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, but it should also respect young people’s right to complete and

honest information. Sex education should treat sexual development as a normal, natural part of human

development. The Impact of Sex Education on Sexual Behaviors and Attitudes among Senior High School
