Society’s are in denial about sex and the effect it has on our children. Children are having sex as young as age ten. Discussing the consequences involved with sex should start at home. Sex education should also be allowed in our elementary schools. This will allow for the children to receive some form of education, if they have parents who will not or do not discuss sex education at home. Prevention between students and nurses could prove harmful. Now, we have to leave an avenue open where children have a comfort level.
School nurses are often the first to discover pregnancies and the sexual activity of the students. A nurse is not likely to overreact and make the child feel uncomfortable, ashamed, or guilty. Roughly 30% of the country's 1,700 school health clinics offer some form of contraception, but condoms are far more common than prescription contraception (Nancy Gibbs). Today children can get birth control without parental consent. Many states fall under state laws protecting patient privacy. When should the parent be notified? Where are children finding the want to engage in sexual behavior at such young ages? Finally, we have to find a way to educate our children about sex, sexual transmitted diseases, remaining abstinence and pregnancy. This should start at home.
A parent should be the first to educate their child. They are more familiar with their behavior and more likely to give truthful facts, risks, and consequences involved with having sex too early. Moreover, they can also judge how receptive their children will be and how they should start with the conversation. Secondly, parents informing their children about the facts are important because the complexities of sexually transmitted diseases have evolved, with all the myths about cures parents should be responsible for ensuring their children are receiving correct information. Another way parents can tell their children would be to teach them about abstinence. Abstinence is often overlooked and a stern approach may do the job. Despite all the resources, if the children are already actively involved in sexual activity, birth control options should be discussed.

Do you agree with their decision or do you believe they are treating you unfairly, because they are not giving you the full privilege of health care coverage, disregarding your employer’s religious beliefs?

Accessibility of Planned Parenthood Planned Parenthood is a program designed to help men, women, and teens decide on whether to go with an abortion, obtain birth control, guide pregnancy and educate women’s health. The facility gives people hope for a better life; a life that possibly could have changed because of a baby or a potential STD. It is important that young people know that they have places like this available if they are in need of knowledge, or just need to restock on condoms. Planned
Approximately one million teens get pregnant and give birth every year in the United States. Eighty percent of those births are to unmarried teens (ProQuest). There are serious consequences for teen pregnancy for the child as well as for the mother. The opportunity to a bright future dwindles down with such a high responsibility; a child. Many teens who end up pregnant do not finish high school and are less likely even consider going to college. Another effect of teen pregnancy is that both mother
The birth control movement took place during the early to mid 1900s. The movement was a social reform to gain women the reproductive rights they were denied of. The use of contraception or discussing contraception, as well as practicing abortion, was frowned upon and could result in an expensive fine or arrest. During the nineteenth century, women gave birth to more babies than their families could care for. Women were taught to please their husbands, regardless of if their families could afford
contraceptive pill, intrauterine devices, and male or female sterilization. However, many people are strongly against the use of contraception as they believe that life begins at impregnation or fertilisation, thus they see preventing conception as being morally and ethically wrong. Contrast to these beliefs, I feel that preventing contraception is ethical. This is because having a child may put a woman’s life at risk, and it is unethical for a family to conceive children they know they will not be able
The Handmaids Tale In Margaret Atwoods novel, "The Handmaids Tale", the birth rate in the United States had dropped so low that extremists decided to take matters into their own hands by killing off the government, taking over themselves, and reducing the womens role in society to that of a silent birthing machine. One handmaid describes what happened and how it came about as she, too, is forced to comply with the new order. Before the new order, known as the Sons of Jacob, took
the first man to ever invent the birth control pill, we have the option of waiting until we are ready. Even though this sounds like a wonderful idea, there are major health risks to receiving any form of contraceptive. Even though your Gynecologist does not mention it, no birth control is truly safe. The first form of birth control came in the form a pill and was approved by the FDA in 1960(qtd in Gladwell ) The pill was said to be the safest form of birth control because it was safe and said to
How Can Assistive Technology Benefit Preschool Special Education Students? The inclusion of special needs children with typically developing peers has become a key service option in preschool special education classrooms (Odom, 2000). Benefits abound, yet inclusion does not present without challenges. Young children with disabilities find it complicated to interact with objects and peers due to obstacles that their disabilities present. A child unable to speak too often goes unheard. Students

activist, writer, sex educator, and nurse. Margret Sanger experienced firsthand what women coping with unwanted pregnancy were going through (History and Success, 2015). Margret Sanger’s mother bore eighteen children and of those eighteen children, eleven survived. As a result of having so many children, her mother passed away at the age of forty. After this tragedy, Margret Sanger began to work as a nurse with immigrant families. During her time working with these immigrant families, Sanger witnessed
healthcare expenses (“Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity.”). The direct cause of this is the increase in obese Americans. Since the 1980s, the rate of obesity in adults has doubled and more than tripled for children (use new source). In fact, one-fifth of children and one-third of adults in the US struggle with obesity (“Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity.”). It not only affects the health of the country, but the economy and even military readiness as well (CDC).

The Precious Gift of Life Revealed in Sonnet 16 Throughout literature authors attempt to control the passage of time through their works. In William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 16" he addresses this subject through the use of literary devices. These devices indicate how the progress of seasons cannot be controlled by words alone. The passing of time is displayed through paradox and imagery, but it is overcome by the ceaseless life of progeny, unlike the feeble words
In Canada in the early 20th century birth control was a highly contentious issue. Before 1929 birth control was an obscene, immoral and unnatural topic. It was broached only by the odd feminist or left-wing group. Section 179c (substituted by Section 207 in 1900) of the 1892 Criminal Code made the sale or advertisement of contraceptives an indictable offense up until the Code was amended in 1969. During the years 1930-1936 the mindset of Canadians began to shift toward approval of the use and legalization
