. I think if adolescents in school were taught more on those subjects then there would be less of that, which would be great.

In my opinion, sexuality education should be taught by sexuality educators and parents. It is true that adolescents are curious about sexual matters and they want to be educated. I believe they should be educated by the people who study and have a wide knowledge of this subject.

I think it would be great if sexuality educators visited schools and taught about sex and its downfalls such as STDs and pregnancy. They should also teach young women about their menstrual phases Noun 1. menstrual phase - the phase of the menstrual cycle during which the lining of the uterus is shed (the first day of menstrual flow is considered day 1 of the menstrual cycle)  and gynecology gynecology (gīn'əkŏl`əjē), branch of medicine specializing in the disorders of the female reproductive system. Modern gynecology deals with menstrual disorders, menopause, infectious disease and maldevelopment of the . Young men should be taught about their reproductive organs Reproductive organs
The group of organs (including the testes, ovaries, and uterus) whose purpose is to produce a new individual and continue the species.

Mentioned in: Choriocarcinoma
 and how to spot cancer in their testicles Testicles
Also called testes or gonads, they are part of the male reproductive system, and are located beneath the penis in the scrotum.

Mentioned in: Testicular Cancer, Testicular Surgery, Vasectomy
. Just fundamental ideas like these.

Mostly, sexual intercourse sexual intercourse
 or coitus or copulation

Act in which the male reproductive organ enters the female reproductive tract (see reproductive system).
 should be discussed as something that is worth waiting for...as in students should be taught that sexual intercourse should be experienced after marriage, when they have that person and know for sure there is a love connection, That they know they aren't going to be hurt or put into an emotional state where they feel regret or like they weren't good enough to please somebody. Many young girls feel like they have to please boys. Girls should be taught that boys can be deceiving and no girl should get her feelings hurt just because a boy wants to get off.

I know what I know from other female and male friends of mine. I know that there are many teenagers who have sex, who do drugs, who just don't care. I think if adolescents in school were taught more on those subjects then there would be less of that, which would be great.

School teaches your basic subjects, but school really needs to teach more on the world around us. School should be fun and interesting, but many high school students imply it is not. Many high school students are tormented for not wanting to try or to do drugs. Many high school students are tormented by other students for no good reason. I just think if kids were taught more on peer pressure, drugs, and sex maybe there wouldn't be so much of it.
