Sexually Transmitted Diseases Hundred Thousand People
1,057 words
There are many reasons why people argue for and
against sex education being a set curriculum in
our school systems, but not many people look at
the facts of the issue before deciding that sex
education is not right. The plain truth is that
there has been a dramatic increase in the number
of teenagers that have become sexually active. The
age at which sexual intercourse first occurs is
becoming younger. According to Store and Default,
in 1996 17 % of girls and 38 % of boys admitted to
having sex ...

Means To An End Search For Meaning

... ld remain pure. The true sense of the word
pure as defined by Zondervan Study Bible is, to be
free from all taint of that which is lewd.
Contemporary teachings say that it is all right
for committed individuals to participate in sexual
intimacy, even if they are not married. This idea
is contrary to Gods teachings in the Bible. The
Bible claims many times over that God prohibits
sexual relations with anyone who is not a lawful
spouse. The Protestant Church focuses on these
matters as the rea...

Early Age Teen Pregnancy
581 words
Divorce not only affects parents, but it also
affects their children by making them look at
things in a different and a negative way. A child
needs the love and support of both parents so that
he can grow in a good environment, and can grow
well. Right now in the world divorces are really
common. And what I have seen is that ruins the
"family appearance." What I believe is that
children are the ones who suffer the most. If the
divorce occurs since little it affects the
development of the child. ...

Feel Comfortable Sexual Activity
1,383 words
Teenagers have sex on the brain; it's an
inevitable fact. However, what teenagers generally
have a problem grasping is that along with sex
comes a certain amount of responsibility. With the
amount of information there is, there is no excuse
for the lack of knowledge teens possess when it
comes to risky behavior. This is mainly in part
because by the time a child reaches the age of 15
they are tired of listening to an adult tell them
about what they are feeling and how they should be
acting. By s...

Music Conformity And Cobain

Our society is in the midst of a complete paradox
of perception. Everyone is entitled to their own
system of beliefs, yet the majority of these
beliefs are adulterated by the conformity to
societies standards. History proves that most any
attempt to stray from the norm and venture into a
realm of nonconformity is soon detected, tainted,
and followed in masses. Kurt Cobain was born in
1967, just twenty-two years before he
inadvertently spawned the movement that would
revolutionize the identities ...
