Introduction Sex has been considered to be a taboo topic in the human society.

However, times have changed and the realization of increasing sexual activity amongst the youth facilitated the need for action. In this case, sex education was introduced in public schools in a bid to provide necessary information required in the conduct of sexual ...

LGBT Children and Youth

According to a Gallup poll conducted in 2012, approximately 3.8% of the adult population of the United States identifies as gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. What percentage of this number applies to children and youth is unknown, but it is safe to assume that at least a larger portion of it is accurate (Newport np). Children who identify as LGBT, or who believe they might be something other than heteronormative, face incredible pressure to conform to the ideal, “traditional,” straight identity. Whereas adults have the freedom to explore alternate identities, be it gender or sexuality based, children, by virtue ...

Prevention of early, unplanned pregnancy, abortions, as well as sexually transmitted diseases among adolescents is a main concern in the United States and Europe. School-based sexuality health education offers an obvious approach though evaluations of the success of such interventions, both in high and low-income countries have not been quite encouraging (Magoon 28). Most of the studies to date have depended on self-reported behavioral outcomes like pregnancy and abortion. Self-reported sexuality behavior is disreputably prone to reporting inaccuracies, and there is considerable prospective for biased misreporting after an intervention that aims to change actions. Regardless of the relatively ...

Most people would normally think that nurses only play a critical role in the actual practice of patient care.

Introduction

Sex is a very sensitive topic. For some countries, especially those that are characterized by extreme levels of conservatism, discussing sex or any topics or issues related to it in public is considered taboo.

Most educational institutions offer complementary sex education classes to students, which are usually those in the secondary and tertiary school levels. In the United States for example, this practice is considered both legal and ethical. But nonetheless, there is still a significant portion of the population, ...

The decision concerning the type of sexuality education that should be presented to teenagers and at times the youth poses mainstay challenges.

Whereas abstinence-only sex education is focused on preventing teens from indulging in any sexual activity, the comprehensive tact also includes other broader information such as contraception (Kim & Rector).
