I had an online opinion paper due this last week on what policy i think should be made in order to prevent teenage pregnancies and i quickly knew the best solution would be to have high schools incorporate a parenting course. What i suggested was to have this parenting course be made mandatory for all students to complete with an average of 70 or above in order to graduate. Why? Because i feel schools are the best way to tackle down the problem of teenage pregnancies being that adolescents already spend the majority time at school, so mid as well educate them on the reality of engaging in sexual intercourse. I really feel the schools boards throughout the United States should really put this policy into affect because with knowledge all adolescents have more of a chance of practicing abstinence or the power of protection! Many schools do not do much to educate students about sex because there are certain restrictions but in reality sex ed should be a school priority and be used to protect our youth from making the wrong choices. By having electronic babies, presentations, and lectures students will get an inside look on the consequences of engaging in sexual intercourse therefore significantly reducing the numbers of teenage pregnancies! If you all would like to know more about this idea you can google electronic babies and see how they have changed the minds of many adolescents.
