For the first time in 15 years, the teen birth rate in America is on the rise. As Brian Padden reports, the issues of sexual activity by teens and how information about sex is conveyed to them in school are highly controversial.

It won’t happen. Too many parents disagree on what should be taught and are afraid they’ll teach the kids the wrong thing. So they just teach nothing and hope that works. Every kid for himself these days. Good luck out there.

Yeah, look how well abstinence-only worked on Palin’s daughter. Perfect example.

I hate how against sex america is. Teaching that sex is wrong when were flashing violent tv shows at teens. Sex makes you feel good and violence really just hurts you. They should be taught that if they want to have sex use birth control and condoms.
Religion and State …
Religion and State are two different things, in my opinion all presidents should be Aithesits so none of this religions garbage would ever end up in public/private/charter schools.

Here we go again,a teen gets knocked up & it’s all down to not being taught sex ed! Give me a break, the problem with teens nowadays is that they can can blame everyone else for their mistakes. What teens don’t know that having unprotected sex will get them pregnant and get std’s? That’s just rubbish. Do you people really honestly believe teens are that stupid?! Especially when most teens now have access to the internet!Crying about not knowing enough about sex is just the easy way out for them.

I really hope that the US improves Sex Ed. Teaching abstinence only is just terrible.
