This week I read one of my colleagues work by Eloisa, Teaching Abstinence "Plus"? In her blog post she wrote about sex education in schools which is a topic that i recently posted about. I can relate to the things she's saying and our opinions are somewhat alike. Her and I both agree that talking to young adults about condoms and birth control may promote the idea that it is okay to have sex because they have access to contraception. In our articles we also both brought up the fact that educating kids about sex could be bad and it could be good, it goes both ways. We both point out that kids are very exposed to sex through the media; television, radio, advertisements..etc. One thing I don't completely support is in her post is when she introduced the fact that it's okay to teach 12 year old girls about sex and birth control as long as their parents are okay with it. I think that age is WAY too young! Another difference of ours is that in my article I state that I think solely abstinence should be taught, instead of the availability of condoms and birth control.
Her ending statement concludes that shes believes sex education should be taught to a certain extent, which I totally agree with! It should be taught in Texas schools but not over the top, all that is needed are the basics. Overall Her and I both have a lot of similar points in our articles. I think her article was organized, well written, and made her opinion clear.
