I am going to addresses the issues whether sex should be taught in public school or whether it should not be taught. The intended audience for this discussion is my professor, classmates and school administrators. This is because these are the people who can bring about the necessary change in the lives of the teenagers and the school systems. The issue of sexuality is challenging to deal with especially with the teenagers who are mostly in high schools.

In other cases they are expected to make decisions to do with the acts of sex yet they are so illiterate or uninformed on such issues. The teenagers will have the opportunity to learn on the dangers of sex such as pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases and the possible ways to avoid such dangers as well as various birth control methods.
