Sex. And the horrors of Catholic Sexual education.

Text usAbstinence-only sex education is a form of sex education that teaches not having sex outside of marriage. It often excludes other types of sexual and reproductive health education, such as birth control and safe sex. Comprehensive sex education, by contrast, covers the use of birth control and sexual abstinence.Research shows that abstinence-only programs aren't effective because they don't prevent pregnancy. These programs also often fail to educate young people about contraceptive use or how to avoid sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The Trump administration, however, continues to promoteSRA programs. In fiscal year 2019, the federal government has spent $110 million on funding such curriculum.  Every year 640,000 teens are infected with genital herpes and approximately 4.2 million teens between the ages of 15 and 24 have this incurable STD (Rogers, Augustine, & Alford, 2005). Each year 20,000 new cases of HIV occur in people under the age of 25 (Rogers, Augustine, & Alford, 2005). In 2000 there were 9 million new sexually transmitted infections in youth ages 15 to 24 (Morrison et. al., 2007). 2.8% of girls between the ages of 15 and 19 have Chlamydia (Morrison et. al., 2007). In 2000, 697,000 women under the age of 20 had an unintended pregnancy (Rogers, Augustine, & Alford, 2005). These numbers are atrocious and show that we are not properly educating our teens about sex. This is understandable considering 33% of schools give students abstinence only education (Keiser Family Foundation, 2002). Abstinence only education tells teenagers that abstinence from sex until marriage is the ONLY option for teenagers (Keiser Family Foundation, 2002). They do NOT give students any information about contraception or safe sex (Keiser Family Foundation, 2002).Support the showDemented Darkness  https://open.spotify.com/show/2ausD083OiTmVycCKpapQ8Dark Side of the Nerd https://open.spotify.com/show/6cwN3N3iifSVbddNRsXRTuFoxhound43 https://rumble.com/user/Foxhound43
