Sex education is a very under emphasized aspect of a childhood education. With the ever changing society, I feel there is a need for increased sex ed. I know from my own experiences in the New York School system we did not have a big sex ed program. We had the usual 5th grade gym class day when the boys and girls were separated to watch their own movies; other than that their was brief talk about sex ed in 7th or 8th grade health class. We have a lot more teen pregnancies now a days and that shouldn’t be, people need to be educated about ways to prevent that. At my graduation (of a school of 300 in my class) their was a separate row near the front for girls that were pregnant just incase any problems came up and they needed help; no that is crazy. I think that schools should increase the amount of sex education that is given, as well as a greater effort from the parents. Parents need to take part in educating their children as well.
