Overcoming Teen Pregnancy.

In current times, teens are having sex earlier and earlier in their life. Some kids as young as 10-14 years old are having sex. Many parents might ask them self why. Well, you can blame many things like sexual activities on T.V. shows, or even talk shows that are trying to help others with their sex lives. The real blame is the parents. Parents need to step up to the plate and control what their kids are watching or listening too. Schools are another major reason kids are having sex at a younger age. What ever happened to "Sex-Ed" or sexual education? Many schools are going through an abstinence phase that doesn't teach kids about sex, but rather teaches them many ways of how they should never have sex. I think that is very clear that abstinence is not working throughout the teen community. Teen pregnancy rates have raised up 11% in the last decade. This number has reverted to the same decade as the 90's. What schools should be doing is teaching the right ways and the right times for having sex. Through monitoring children's T.V. viewings, teaching kids the correct time and reason to have sex, and teaching them ways to have safe sex, teen pregnancy can be easily avoided.
