In this blog, I am going to write about the sex education. Most of the teenagers get the sex education in their school. However, I think sex education does not encourage teen pregnancy. To prove this point, I’ll first start by designing a test with defining variables. The independent variable would be receiving sex education and the dependent variable would be teen pregnancy. Since the result would not come out in a short time period, this study should be a longitudinal one. The picking of the sample should be done really carefully. First two different high schools with similar quality should be chosen. If both groups are from the same school, each group could influence the other one. Moreover, if the quality of each school is different, the result might be influenced because the environment of each group is not equal. Second, random sampling must be performed to pick 20~40 students, typical amount of a class, from each school. Freshmen would be ideal to see results. Third, sex education would be given for one group while the other group would not receive it. It would be best if the sex education were given constantly, maybe twice per every year. Then, the results will be observable at the end of students’ senior year.
As I mentioned, I expect that sex education does not encourage teen pregnancy. Since sex education could provide answers to questions of that teens may have and warn them of the importance of contraception, it would be truly beneficial for teens.
I definitely think there should be more sex education in schools--especially high school. My high school didn't even mention anything. The only thing we ever learned was all the different types of STDS in health class. My high school continues to have many teen pregnancies. They should make sex education mandatory.
