There is no disputing the fact that comprehensive sex education is a neccessity in the school system, but i cannot help to acknowledge the fact that for the most part youth are aware of forms of birthcontrol but are not using them. With a few exceptions, teens do not want children and if they truly thought about it, they know how to prevent pregnancy. Yet still, teenage pregnancies continue to rise.

We want to stop this, we know how to stop this, and yet we are still not taking the actions to stop this.
This trend does not have to continue in an upward slope; I charge our generation to make a change next year and to protect our young bodies, stop the spread of STIs and STDs and put an end to unwanted pregnancies and unsafe sex. we can do it, so let's do it.
