Should issues relating to that of abstinence due to pregnancy be the only reason to teach children not to engage in sexual activity?
The writer realizes that this is a very delicate issue for discussion; nevertheless the writer felt a need for such dialogue; due to the number of students that have become and are becoming impregnated at the writer’s school. The writer strongly believes in the teachings of the Bible and does not close the eyes to/condone sex before marriage; neither does the writer condemn those who choose to engage in such behavior before marriage; due to the writer not being one who will do any judging in the final analysis. For this reason, the writer hopes that this topic of discussion will not be taken out of context, impose on beliefs or infringe upon values.
It is the writer’s belief that whether or not the teaching of Sex education to students has in recent years become one of the most significant topics of the church, government and many of those in the field of education. It was once thought that church communities were too, practical in that they are were not seeing the big picture concerning the issue of abstinence, and are simply telling children\people not to have sex before marriage. Many times this was advocated without any valid; other than biblical as to why one shouldn’t. The writer’s faith also teaches this. The writer is in agreement with her faith and, therefore, lives by those beliefs. Yet, the writer believes that for others the concept is not always, so without doubt accepted. As previously stated, the writer does not condemn those whose beliefs are not as such. While, the writer; does believe that the teaching of Sex Education should broaden beyond that of only the teaching of abstinence, due to becoming impregnated. Yet, believes that such discussion explain other factors such as the contracting of diseases (STD’s) that can be acquired as well through such act as well.
