Should teens have sex education in schools?
The first place where most students are first introduced to the concept of sex is at school. From a very young age peers begin to talk about the things which they see on the television and the lyrics that there hear in songs. These images as well as songs can create a great deal of curiosity in the minds youngsters and can sometimes lead to some unwanted consequences. However, no teenager should be left to learn about issues and matters on sex without the guidance of an experienced adult.

Teenagers tend to be very curious about their sexuality as well as their ability as a sexual being, thus they tend to go on their own little adventures trying to uncover the mysteries of their bodies. The sexual urge which most teenagers experience are sometimes very hard ignore. However, if these teens go about engaging in sexual activity without a clear understanding of what they are doing, there can be some seriously harsh consequences such as sexual additions, unwanted pregnancies; acquisition of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) (such as AIDS, herpes or gonorrhea) and many others which can adversely affect the individual in later life. Individuals should be informed of these matters in early teenage years or even before.

Masturbation and pornography is also another issue faced by teenagers around the world. Also categorized as sexual activity, masturbation is a serious matter which teens must understand. It has been discovered by physiologists that a large percentage of all serial killers have had some background with pornography. Also, rapists tend to have some background or involvement with pornography which lead them to commit acts which not only degrades themselves but also places fear, shame and anger in the hearts of victims. Therefore it can be concluded that pornography can have some mental toll on young men and women and result in outrageous actions which negatively impact society.

Seeming to be nothing but a personal form of pleasure, there have been several cases where as a result of pornography along with masturbation men loose their ability to perform when with a woman. In order for these men to attain an erection it is required that they view a pornographic image or video. This is a serious matter and so schools must find a way to inform teens about these consequences and take measures prevent such ill effects. I myself was informed about this case while attending a workshop on sex at my high school.
