Can anyone helps me find mistakes and fix it

The life becomes complex because sex becomes a daily topic. Most the teenagers who are students lost controls of their emotions when they fell in love with their partner. They have sex at age earlier and get pregnancy although they are not ready for being parents. Most of them are curiosity about sex from movies, books or internet, and do not have much knowledge or skill to deal with sex. That is why some of teenagers get unwanted pregnancy, get STD, and abortion. That means they are lack of understanding about sex education, so the schools should have sex education class for the students. Parents cannot stop their children to have sex at the young age, and they are worry too much about their children get pregnancy or STD; however, the comprehensive sex education in school is important way to warn them out of those risks. Comprehensive sex education should be teach in school because it is very useful, and mainly for help the teens have knowledge about safety sex, decrease risk of pregnancy, abstinence, and delay sexual activity. It is also may help teenagers learn the fact of sex.
Comprehensive sex education in school is a good idea to teach the teenagers learn the right things. Most of teenagers become parents at age earlier and they are not feeling ready for the possibility of being a parent. Teen's girls have pregnancy is serious problem that may effect to their future. If schools teach them learn sex, it will help a lot. Through sex education classes, teens raise more awareness about sexual and pregnancy may reduce. The research from "Fact of Sex Education in United States" shows that "the comprehensive sex education programs that provide information about both abstinence and contraception can help delay onset of sexual activity among teens, reduce their number of sexually partners and increase contraceptive use when they become sexually active" (Fact of Sex Education in United States). This education is really help the teenagers delay sex. Although that comprehensive sexual education is not going to stop teenagers have sex, and pregnancies, but it indeed reduces them. The pregnancy declined among women aged 15-19 "from 117 pregnancies per 1,000 women in 1990 to 75 per 1,000 women in 2002" (Facts on Sex Education in The United State). We see that teens have a good understanding when they learn this education. They know it is not right time to have sex at that age. They know how to contraception and safe sex practice or at least they know the risks for their future like STDs if they do not know much about sex. This may ruin the life plan, but the good news about sex education is the numbers of teens have pregnancies decreases.
In 2002, the government spends money from a fund to the contraceptive "the federal and state governments spent an estimated $1.73 million on a wide variety of contraception promotion and pregnancy prevention program. More than a third of that money ($653 million) was spent specifically to fund contraceptive program for teens" (Melissa Pardue, Robert Rector, and Shannan Martin). The government supports a lot of money on sex education because they just want to help the teens have more knowledge about sex and protect teens out of some dangerous disease like STDs. Some of any risks can happen to the teens if they do not learn sex. We receive from the government support about finance, why we do not let the teens learn about sex. Because the teens may learn something they never know before; therefore, comprehensive sex education in school should be a subject that teens should learn in school to prevent them increase pregnancy.
Teaching the students learn comprehensive sex education includes abstinence helps teens to build a foundation as they mature in to sexually healthy adults. According to Paris Strom and Robert Strom, the research from comprehensive sex education found that "this strategy generally promotes favorable health," and that programs "provide medically accurate information on contraceptive for those already sexually active can support better health (Kohler, Manhart, & Lafferty,2008)" (451-453) (Paris Strom and Robert Strom). One more research from Texas shows "teens who took a two week sex education class became more interested in waiting until after high school to have sex" and "after the class 71 percent were planning on abstaining until marriage" (Teen and Sex Education). This tells us that the teenagers realize sex is not always good, but it is good when they wait until to marry, and it is right time for have sex. We see that the abstinence works for teens. Comprehensive sex education in the schools is one way to send the important messages to teenagers as help teen's students to delay sexual intercourse.
A research also shows the positive result sex. Mr. Kauffman the author of a book "Sex education a reliable Fix to U.S. teen pregnancy problem," writes: "I would argue that we fail our young people by not providing them with comprehensive sex education programs that discuss pregnancy, birth control and the skills necessary to make decisions that are in their best interests. A study by the University of Washington (2002) found that students who receive comprehensive education were 50 percent less likely to engage in sexual behavior further. It was found that they were no more likely to engage in sexual behaviors than those who received abstinence-only information. With respect to abstinence-only or ‘virginity pledges,' a 2004 study at Yale University found that 88 percent of teens pledging abstinence ended up have breaking their pledge by having sex before marriage" (Frank Kauffman). That mean sex education is very useful for the teens and it is necessary to teach in school. They learn that they have to wait until they fell ready for the emotional and physical aspect of sex, or wait until they find the right person, and right love. If the schools do not teach students what they need to learn, that is the schools fault because the schools' responsibility are to educate students, so students can apply their knowledge in their life.
According to "Adolescents in the Internet Age," the authors give this information "comprehensive sex education programs emphasize abstinence as the best way to prevent pregnancy" (451) (Paris Strom and Robert Strom). This is a good news because those programs is a best way to reduce pregnancy and that why "most parents and students feel adolescents have a right to accurate and complete sexual health information as a part of their education (National campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, 2006b) (Paris Strom and Robert Strom). As we know that if we do not teach the teens learn sex, they may understand wrong. For example, they may think that love must shows by having sex, but they do not know after that they may have a bad result like pregnancy or STD because of lack knowledge.
Comprehensive sex education in schools is a way to answer the questions teenagers confuse or understand wrong about sex. Most parents feel uncomfortable when they talk to their children about sexual because parents may be do not know much or just embarrass to share experiences to their children, so "the majority of Americans agree that teens should learn about sex in public schools" (Grace Chen). The majority of people agree that mean include parents. Parents want the schools teach their children about sex. There are about "93% of parents of junior high school students and 91% of parents of high school students believe it is very or some-what important to have sexuality education as part of the school curriculum" that mean they believe "it is very or some-what important to have sexuality education as part of the school curriculum" (Support for Comprehensive Sexuality Education). With these numbers of people vote for comprehensive, we believe sex must teach to students at schools because they do not understand wrong about sex and help teenagers safer when they have sex.
Another reason is they "believe that sexuality education can help young people make responsible decisions about sexual behavior and sexual health" (Support for Comprehensive Sexuality Education). Teens know what they need to do if they have sex. For example, they can take care of themselves and if they have baby, they will have responsibility about that. In a book "Those who can, Teach" the authors write: "both comprehensive sex education and abstinence only programs delay the onset of sexual activity. However, only comprehensive sex education is effective in protecting adolescents from pregnancy and sexually transmitted illnesses at first intercourse and during later sexual activity" (110) (Kevin Ryan and James Cooper). That mean comprehensive sex education can protect the teenagers from pregnancy or STDs. It also tells us comprehensive sex education is the best ways in schools to the teenagers learn it.
Comprehensive sex education is such as a safe sex method to teach the teens because this "programs can increase knowledge levels, affect the attitudes, and change behaviors" beside that, it helps a lot of teens "feel more confidents" to think or to talk about sex (214) (Janell Carroll). Learning sex education helps the teens know what they should do, and what they should not do. Comprehensive sex education does helpful to the teenagers to deal with dangerous risks problems. Those information tell us that schools should teach sex and the teenagers should learn it in schools.
From the research information about sex, that is the reason why schools should teach the students learn sex and parents must agree with that. The teens have sex is not too bad, but they do not have knowledge skill about sex is worse. The teens feel comfortable if they learn sex and know something can help them get a better life in future through sex education. Comprehensive sex education is really helpful for the teenagers reduce pregnancy, abstinence, and a lot of them know to delay sex.
